Changes:

Change all mentions of "the WWE" to "WWE."
Change all mentions of WWE before May 8, 2002 to "WWF" or "the WWF", including championships and pay-per-views.
Change all mentions of WWE before March 1979 to "the WWWF", including championships and shows.
Change "Total Nonstop Action" to "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling", especially in championships and accomplishments. Titles won in TNA should not be listed under NWA, since the categorization refers to the company they were won in, not the governing bodies.
Change "Category:Professional wrestlers" to "Category:American(/British/Mexican etc.) professional wrestlers" where appropriate.

Locating and rewriting articles: There are many articles like this floating about Wikipedia that read "Pro wrestler. now dead. won title once". Clean them up, add the correct categories and stub them (when needed).

Correcting links: Articles look better with footnotes as opposed to embedded citations. Try to convert the later to the former.

Photo requests Many wrestling articles need a photo to improve their quality. A list can be found here: Needed Pro Wrestling Photos
