So I noticed something the other day. I was looking for some moves for some wrestlers I had created on WWE2K18, and went to Wikipedia... and for some reason I noticed that the "In Wrestling" Section where they list wrestler's moves is gone now. Does anyone else use Wikipedia when stating boots? Has anyone else also noticed this missing on Wikipedia as well? What resources do you guys use when looking for moves, besides youtube?

I noticed they removed them a bit ago, not sure why, but it was always handy to be able to look up when a wrestler used a certain finisher in their career. Still would really like to know why it was removed. This site still has some. prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Wiki |

Yeah. It was an awesome resource. Think it might still be around somewhere? Like a link on those pages or something.

Look under "View history" next to the search bar and go back a few months.

Actually watching matches is generally a better method of putting movesets together than using Wikipedia.

No question. Some of the moves I think the hardest about are the " - 1" moves, because they're a chance to show off a bit of the wrestler's personality and add some color to the moveset. No real way to get that unless you watch with your own eyes, because no one's really documenting that the Great Kabuki does a "mystic spin" before chopping people.

Wikipedia is worse sadly......when I get a chance to chat with the wrestlers they often tell me.....wow that is way off-base.

Wiki isn't horrible for more recent wrestlers, but is really spotty the further back you go.
Problem with the newer guys is they change their moves often, so it's hard to do a "career" type card while they are still active.
Problem with the 70s and prior is that heights, weights, hometowns and moves can be just blatantly inaccurate.
It's a lot of work, but if you can get newspaper articles, wrestler interviews, old programs and such, it gives you a much better picture. And TV squash matches are usually better than main events, because the big name opponents didn't often get beat by the finisher.
