[edit] Move

Does anyone have objections with me moving this page? The page should be Wayne Farris and not The Honky Tonk Man. Granted, I he is known as Honky Tonk Man, I feel that it should be titled Wayne Farris for purposes of the Stampede Wrestling alumni category because he was never Honky Tonk Man till the WWF. I will give you a week to voice your ojections. If nobody objects, I will move it. fishhead2100 May 5, 2006 3:19AM (UTC)

Oppose. Because that is indeed the name he is most known by he should go by that. How to handle the Stampede Alumni Category is something I will leave for someone else to figure out though. OsFan 16:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Well he did do Stampede Wrestling show on May 12th of this year as the Honky Tonk Man. But this page should be titled Wayne Ferris. fishhead2100 May 24, 2006 12:47PM (UTC)

If nobody else opposes then I will go ahead and move this page. fishhead2100 June 8, 2006 1:16AM (UTC)

That move makes no sense whatsoever. How many people know the guy as Wayne Farris? If a wrestler has a gimmick name for five years (roughly the same amount as Triple H), he usually is referred to by his gimmick name. Farris has been doing this for twenty years. OsFan 23:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The same could be said for Sabu's page. How many people know his name is Terry Brunk? Mr. C.C 21:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where you're going with this. I don't know it from the standpoint of whether or not you disagree with what I did, or if you'r trying to gain support for the potential Terry Brunk move to Sabu (wrestler). Anyway, Sabu's is in a different situation because there are other people/things that are known by that term. Honky Tonk Man is not. OsFan 23:01, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I wasn't trying to gain support. I was just making a point is all. Mr. C.C. 08:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'll throw out my standard "it's disrespectful to call wrestlers by their real names in the first place." I think that ALL wrestling articles should be listed by stage names, and wrestlers should be refered by as such within the articles. Think of it this way. If you met the Undertaker, you wouldn't go up to him and say "Hey, Mark." In fact, he'd probably freakin' punch you in the face. You'd be respectful and refer to him as "the Undertaker." Same thing.

Well Kane's page is named by his real name of Glen Jacobs. The same goes for Abyss's page. Abyss's page is named by real name of Chris Parks. Why should that be any different. It's the same point. Mr. C.C. 09:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Another example is William Regal, who is listed under his real name of Darren Matthews. What it boils down to is that these are people playing a part. If "Honky Tonk Man" is the main listing for "Wayne Farris", then doesn't it follow that "David Hasselhoff" should redirect to a main listing of "Michael Knight"? Of course not. Why should pro wrestlers be any different? Bigsnake 19 03:32, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose If Mr. Farris has an issue with this he can come here and change it. Rev Sysyphus (talk) 04:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrestling

On his website he admitted that he was an athiest, should we place him under that category?-Lord Pants

I have no problem with that. OsFan 23:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

But it says on here that he is listed as Christian. Mr. C.C. 09:14, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hart Foundation Member

I found a video on YouTube where Macho Man takes on Bret Hart and Honky Tonk Man says he is a member of the Hart Foundation. Does anyone have any information on this? Here is the link:

There was a time when the stable of wrestlers managed by Jimmy Hart was collectively referred to as the "Hart Foundation"; this name, however, is more closely associated with the tag team of Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart. Bigsnake 19 03:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
