British Reality series, The Farm

He appeared in the British reality TV series The Farm, something on this should be added.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.243.57 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 3 May 2005

Wrestler

Rebranded image

Someone should edit the part about the balcony incident.

from http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/02/16/DI2006021601769.html?nav=nsc:

"Did you or did you not get dangled off the balcony by Suge Knight. Let's get the truth.

Vanilla Ice: No. I did not. It was kind of funny -- when they take a little bit of truth in the media. If it's not exciting, they polish it up a bit. I was on the balcony and had signed over a lot of contractual money to him and felt like I did the right thing. In a weird way, he was nice but firm with me. He took me to the balcony and talked to me... but it's funny how the story gets turned around... I'm wondering how that story got changed around."

Needs Additional Citations Template

The article is currently tagged with a needs additional citations template. Is that the best remedy? The article is well cited overall. If there a few statements which need verification, a citation needed template for those sentences might be more appropriate. Knope7 (talk) 02:40, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Six months have gone past, and there the tag sits, so I'm pulling it out. If editors reman concerned, I'm also suggesting that individual citations pinpoint the specific areas that need refs. Jus da fax 15:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
