[edit] New To Wiki, Old Pro Wrestling Fan
I am new to wikipedia, and I actually have been making private lists of all former WWE wrestlers and personalities, as well as 100 other wrestling orgs for about 12 years. I update it each year. I would be ablre to provide you a more comlete list although I do not have a very complete list for times prior to 1977. I will work on researching that. I also do see a few inaccurate or speculative reasons for wrestlers either living or being fired. Several are either completely inaccurate or hearsay. To give more credability these should probably be removed or replaced. As with all things pro wrestling history can be fuzzy and there is much secrecy. We can really only go on what the wrestlers and promoters themselves have said. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. I may make some edits but if you would prefer I can e-mail a list to you to help you since you have a format you are using already. Also I would have to say it is probably a bad idea to list a release date as most wrestlers have multiple tenures. Listing by tenures with the company (such as 1990-94, 1997-98). I think this would be more appropriate.

[edit] Format change
I was thinking a few days ago about the state of the List of World Wrestling Entertainment alumni article and was thinking about a re-write. Currently it is in a weak state with the current alphabetical order by most notable ring name and it looks horrible now that I think about it. Plus, there has been confusion all over the page about the alphabetical order of the article, which name it should be listed by, etc. and the article itself had no sources.
Over the last couple of days I have re-written the article and for a chronological order instead of the past format. But instead of revertingback to the past (a plain link and date) I kept the table format and added a reference section so we can cite our work. It appears that most didn't find the current format appealing anyways. The new one is located at User:Moe Epsilon/WWE alumni. I am going to move it to the main article namespace to see how it goes from thereon.
What I need help with is more references. I added the Citation needed next to the ones I didn't find sources for. You guys can help by adding more sources to the References section. I will find more as the week progresses, but your help is wanted. semper fi — Moe 17:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
