| Posted: | | | | I know my original suggestion was to add referee credits as "RAW Referee" or "SmackDown! Referee"...but the referees switch brands so much now, I'm thinking it may be best to just go with referee.

No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose… Rapture." |

| Posted: | | | | I've added the "Wrestler List" and the list of the titles that are complete to the main page.
Do any of you collect TNA DVDs? I started to, but ended up selling mine - not interested in collecting them until TNA decides to make all of them available without exclusively releasing to their website. | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

| Posted: | | | | Quoting chibul: Quote: I know my original suggestion was to add referee credits as "RAW Referee" or "SmackDown! Referee"...but the referees switch brands so much now, I'm thinking it may be best to just go with referee. Thoughts? Why? A role is title specific, if a ref is a RAW ref for one event, I don't see why you'd change that just because he's a SmackDown! ref at another. I think there's value in what role they played at what show. |

| Posted: | | | | Good points. If we're doing it for commentators, we should do it for officials.
For the dual-brand PPVs, should they be branded "RAW Referee" and so forth as well? Or just "Referee"? | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.

| Posted: | | | | That's quite a few. I'll PM the other two that were participating here and see if we can't get back to discussing this. Here's a question, though - we'd always said 'The Rock' would remain as is. But now, he's officially dropping that and going by Dwayne Johnson in his movies. Should we switch to Dwayne Johnson? | | | "I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?

| Posted: | | | | I would use Dwayne Johnson.
Also, most of the names look correct, but, I would not trust Wikipedia as much as I don't trust IMdb. Sniff around Dave Meltzer's and Dave Scherer's sites for the names.
Also, James for Jim is too personal, IMO, unless that's how it's used on TV. (Note: For Jim Ross) | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |
