Welcome to the inaugural edition of '''the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter'''! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a ''project news'' section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a ''current events'' section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at [[User talk:The Chronic/WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter|this talk page]].

Welcome to the ''second'' issue of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/Outreach/Newsletter|WP:PW newsletter]]. We apologize for the delay. There was an issue regarding the delivery process.

Anyways, we had a lot of good feedback for the last newsletter. We not only received feedback at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Outreach/Newsletter|newsletter's talk page]], but ''I'' also received some messages on my talk page as well. Thank you to those who responded. The only complaint we received was about [[typographical error|typos]], and we will try our best to keep the newsletter error-free.

Please continue to offer feedback and new ideas for the next issue. The more we have, the more we'll know how to improve the newsletter. Again, thanks!

*Former TNA professional wrestler [[Chris Harris]] has officially signed with [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] as confirmed by himself in his personal website.
*[[Ron Killings]] and [[Paul Wight|The Big Show]] are still being reported as to having signed WWE contracts. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for their names to be continually added to the [[World Wrestling Entertainment roster|WWE Roster]] article and information about their returns being added to their own articles. There is also apparently an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old '''K-Kwik''' gimmick.
*[[Bobby Lashley]] is being reported to have been released by WWE. His profile has been removed from WWE.com. But again, there is no reliable source for his release, so be prepared to revert his removal from the roster article and edits to his own article.

== Blocked ==

{{uw-block|time=indefinitely|reason=disruptive editing}}. You come straight off a three-month block for breaches of policy, which wasn't your first block, show little sign of contributing to the encyclopedia and still seem to be using your user page as some kind of personal promotion or hobby page. This is not what Wikipedia is about, and you should have taken heed of the warnings by now. That you haven't shows me that you aren't going to. --'''[[User:Rodhullandemu|<font color="7F007F">'''Rodhullandemu'''</font>]]''' ([[User_talk:Rodhullandemu|Talk]]) 22:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
