1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

First glance it looks good but there are some areas where I think it requires some improvements before GA status.

• "then-champion Samoa Joe", no need for then in there because he was champion at the time of the event. Same with LAX later in the intro
  • Fixed
• "Victory Road is remembered for the closing of the 2008 TNA World X Cup Tournament." can we get a source for that in the intro?
  • Not really, just stating what happened at the event that was particularly memorable. Stating the obvious like a title change or a tournament.
• "beheld", spacing
  • Fixed
• link 2008 TNA World X Cup Tournament at first mention in the prose
  • I did, in the Background section.
• "There were four teams each made up of four men, with each team representing a country" TNA is a country? Maybe something like a team representing TNA and three others representing a country
  • TNA always said their team represented the USA and that it was just called Team TNA to not sound confusing. In the past it was called Team USA. Changed anyway.
• " Yoshino back-first onto the mat" Don't you mean pinned him?
  • He used his move first, then pinned him. It involves falling backwards. Shelley was laying on him afterwards so he could pin him as well.
• Abyss is linked again in the Miscellaneous section, he only needs to be linked in the intro and first mention in prose
  • Fixed
• "slamming his leg", a bit unclear as to what he did if you don't follow wrestling
  • Not really a way to make it clearer. He jumped off a 15 foot poll and did a leg drop on a dude hanging from cables. Dropped his leg sounds weird, hit Davari with his leg, etc.
• Link "Willie Urbina"
  • No page exists.
• "busted open", that's wrestling slang. I know what it means but others might not so reword and link it
  • Fixed
• "flipping Sting off", again slang. "gave Sting The Finger" (or words to that effect) would be better
  • Fixed
• If you're quoting wrestling slang, link it to the respective page so people not into wrestling understand
  • Fixed to the extent possible.
• In the pictures, overlinking. If it comes after the first mention in prose, no need to link it again in the picture captions
  • I've always understood that photos are quick references and thus an exception to overlinking.

Sources are good and picture licences are fine. Fix these issues and i'll take another look. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:31, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

• • • All issues taken care of.--WillC 06:28, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
      • Indeed so. A new GA is made. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
