Professional Wrestling / Summary

The following wrestling pages are currently redlinks. They are worthy of an article here in at least one troper's opinion; but that troper may not be familiar enough with the topic in question, or may not be a good writer, or, in some cases, knows the subject of question is notable, hates it, but doesn't want to engage in Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch or Complaining About Shows You Don't Like.

For the moment, we'll sign our items on this list, and add our names onto wrestlers (or managers, executives, etc.) to which we feel need to have an article here; please see the discussion page.

If you create a page for one of these, or it turns into a bluelink after another troper creates it, please remove it from this list and add it to the index on the main Professional Wrestling page, unless it's a disambiguation (which will show with a green link) or a redirect. If it is a redirect or disambiguation, point that out.

Also take note, try to include a work in its medium of initial incarnation. For example, instead of placing The Film of the Book in the movie category place the work under the Literature section. Another example being Anime, if it was a Manga first place it under Manga. The notable exception to this rule is either when a work's derivative incarnation is more widely known than the original (in which case please leave a note mentioning such), or when a page exists for the original version but not the adaptation (in which case a note should also be made so that the creator can either add a section to the pre-existing page or decide to create a new one).

Similarly, for people, place them in the namespace corresponding to the field in which the individual first reached major cultural prominence. For example, Fred Thompson is in the Creator namespace because he was a prominent actor before becoming a US Senator, spent his final years as exclusively an actor, and had his largest pop culture fame in acting. The notable exceptions to this rule are either (1) when a person's original career field becomes overshadowed by a later one (in which case please leave a note mentioning such), and (2) a person becomes equally prominent in more than one sphere, in which case tropers may (but don't necessarily have to) create separate pages for the two spheres. An example of the former is Johnny Hallyday, whose first and main fame is as a singer in France, but is known in the English-speaking world mainly as an actor. Examples of the latter include pro wrestlers-turned-actors Dave Bautista, John Cena, and Dwayne Johnson, all of whom have separate pages in the Wrestling and Creator namespaces.
