[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 fotimes 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)
- What is the reference section referring to? That they were employed by WWE, or when they were released? Or something else? TJ Spyke 07:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- When they were released. 216.78.95.191 17:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Big Show
Shouldnt Big Show be on this list since his contract expired in february and he didnt sign a new one, i know he may sign a new one and if he does he would be taken off, but at the moment he should be called as alumni Don.-.J 22:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree.Freebird Jackson 02:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WWE.com Alumni Section
I just recently found out that WWE.com is starting up it's own WWE Alumni section where it lists former WWE stars and where they are now and what they accomplished in WWE. Should we be on the lookout for some sort of copyright conflict? WikiWikiBoi 21:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
They have not updated that in a wile —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.24.105 (talk) 18:18, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bischoff's Contract ezpired recently?
Thatsd what some websites are reporting...someone should look into it and add him to the list.
[edit] Dan Rodman
I know there is the devolpment rule were you cant add devolpment but Dan Rodman appeared on both heat, wwe.com and in backstage segments. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Candyman mikey (talk • contribs) 21:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Sandman Arguement with Agent.
Someone wrote that The Sandman was fired due to an alteration with Barry Windamen but many websites are reporting Ricky Steamboat was who the arguement. I changed it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Candyman mikey (talk • contribs) 18:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hart and Heenan
Jimmy Hart and Bobby Heenan were not asked to take 50% pay cuts. Heenan went to WCW at the end of his contract because it was a slower schedule and had benefits (health etc) which the WWF didn't. Hart simply followed Hogan.
Also, Heidenreich (sp?) actually quit after family members were affected by Katrina.

[edit] Kristal
She has been released. it is just not being reported by WWE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandlerjoeyross (talk • contribs) 21:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Moolah
I don't think the Fabulous Moolah was under contract recently, she was simply called on whenever they needed her to make a special appearance. Ditto with Mae Young, Mick Foley, etc...
If anyone can find out if she was under contract, let me know. Otherwise, I would probably suggest having her most recent appearance at SummerSlam being posted as a possible "release" date as opposed to "Died While Employed".
On a related note, RIP Moolah. You will be missed dearly.Jgera5 03:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- Moolah is actually under a lifelong contract to the WWE. ?This has been expressed in plenty of articles over time. Also Mick Foley is still under contract and has been. His picture and profile is still on WWE RAW superstars page and has never left.Aladdin Zane 04:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, so she was under a similar deal that Gorilla Monsoon was under? I didn't know how that worked out, that's all. Jgera5 03:07, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Wait, Mae Young is still alive but not been released quite yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.127.178.158 (talk) 00:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Russ Haas
Is there any reason why Russ Haas isn't included in the list of people that died whilst under contract? Poker Flunky (talk) 17:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

- I Don't think he was under contract with WWE when he died. Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 15:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Krissy Vaine
Although no mention was ever made of Krissy Vaine (as far as I know), she was called up to SmackDown!, so wouldn't that have excluded her from the exceptions list, and add her to the alumni list? CrystallixRed 23:24, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Roadkill
He should be on the list. He appeared the new ECW in two apperences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandlerjoeyross (talk • contribs) 15:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Further Specification
Shouldn't we specify the gender and the occupation(i.e. wrestler, referee, etc...) of a person in the WWE. Gender is less relevant but at least the occupation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.180.49.9 (talk) 19:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 2008
Someone needs to fix the 2008 section it's all messed up, and Ric Flair isn't even mentioned in it. I would but I don't know how —Preceding unsigned comment added by KBD5196 (talk • contribs) 02:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ric Flair
Who keeps taking Ric Flair off the list he's supposed to be on here.--$$$Keeton D.$$$ (talk) 00:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
He not an alumni he's still under contract with WWE, he just doesnt wrestle.
[edit] Ranjin Singh
Where is Ranjin Singh? I can't find him anywhere. He wasn't heard from since no way out 2008. He doesn't even have his own article. Was he released, because if so he needs to be added to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.181.106.209 (talk) 21:50, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I heard He has a knee injury that required surgery.Jimmy1994 (talk) 20:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] new article
off topic, but HOW COME NO-ONE SIGNS THEIR POSTS???!!?!!!?!???!
