No notable wrestler. He wrestled in minor promotions without major impact. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 23:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

:*Delete - his career section has no sources. Sure he's (apparently) won a lot of titles but how many of those titles even have Wikipedia articles? That's because the titles are those of (very) minor promotions. starship.paint (talk | ctrb) 23:46, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

• Keep The article sucks, but can be fixed. He had a solid indy career and name value, when that counted for more than it does since the Internet. Helped get ECW rolling, something like Tommy Cairo, and worked steady for 25 years (and counting). Just needs work. Fun fact: Only guy trained by both of The Rock'n'Roll Express.

• I don't think so. He had 37 matches in CZW, most of them before 2004 (Again, we don't have articles for every single wrestler who performed in CZW. Even some champions haven't articles) ECW, he had 46, but in minor events most of them and looks like he hadn't storyline or feud. I mean, the article, without the super-minor promotions, only says "he had a few matches in ECW", "he had a few matches in CZW", nothing more. Also, there is no reliable sources to suport the article. Also, if the article'll stay as it's right now, I'll prefer to delete it. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:20, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

:::Also worked for ROH, 3PW, Big Japan and JCW (not super minor), jobbed in WWF in 1989 and WCW in 1995. He regularly challenged for the ECW TV title, around the time Douglas got the "Extreme" buzz rolling, and appeared on many of the most famous shows from that era (The Night the Line was Crosed, Ultimate Jeopardy, Heat Wave). It sure would help if the article said this, yes. Not so motivated to do it myself, but maybe. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

• Keep Is significant enough to be notable. He has been mentioned in numerous books including [http://books.google.com/books?id=KYrCt0kt3iYC&pg=PA64&dq=Rockin%27+Rebel&hl=en&sa=X&ei=E-kcU-6CA4L7oASPjoGICg&ved=0CEgQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=Rockin'%20Rebel&f=false] and [http://books.google.com/books?id=jDtaAAAAYAAJ&q=Rockin%27+Rebel+wrestler&dq=Rockin%27+Rebel+wrestler&hl=en&sa=X&ei=MOkcU-_kHtCGogTcioKYAg&ved=0CEsQ6AEwBg] and significant independent coverage in local reliable sources; [http://paindependent.com/2013/07/battle-brewing-over-new-wrestling-regulations-in-pa/][http://articles.philly.com/1989-09-14/news/26102244_1_larry-sharpe-wrestlers-monster-factory]. Seems to be enough to meet WP:GNG and that was just three minutes of searching.STATic message me! 22:27, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

::It took me three minutes just to find [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4mrRVBt71M this]. So at least the best man is no mystery. Good work! InedibleHulk (talk) 02:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

:::In that case, can somebody fix it? I mean, 99% of the time "article sucks, but somebody can improve it", nobody impove the article. The article keeps in Wikipedia and stills suck.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:14, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

::::Rome wasn't built in a day, and Yokozuna was once somewhat lean himself. But yes, somebody should. Maybe my "best man" suggestion was a little too subtle. Or maybe I should do it myself. I'm just not so much a builder as a sculptor. I'll probably unsuck the grammar later today, and add a bit of meat. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

:::::The grammar's actually not bad. Just that "Trademark (TM)" thing misled me. I'll do that right now. Baby steps. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
