The injuries and fatalities section seems misnamed. The title implies people have died either in the ring or as a result of professional wrestling. It cites the fact that Dusty Rhodes, Jimmy Snuka, Ultimate Warrior and Andre the Giantall died within 30 years of Wrestlemania 1990. Post hoc ergo propter hoc. If they died as a result of wrestling, the article in its current form doesn’t show it.
In an earlier discussion, I accepted that the adjective "athletic" could apply to professional wrestling as a type of theatre if you stretch the definition a little, but do we really need that word there? It's fairly obvious, and little superfluous. Kurzon ( talk) 05:45, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
Under Countout: "In some promotions (and most major modern ones), Championships are depicted as being permitted to change hands via a countout, unless the on-screen authority declares it for at least one match, although in others, championships may change hands via countout."
To me, this reads like you're missing a "not" after "depicted as"? I don't know enough about wrestling to feel confident changing it, though. Vtipoman ( talk) 18:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
