This is a professional wrestling match type that wasn't used too often in either WCW or WWE. Information on the match type is already located at List of professional wrestling match types, so this page really has no reason to exist. I prod'ed the article originally with the intent to redirect it there. I suggest if this page is deleted, we put in the redirect. Nikki311 03:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think that more information could be added to it (including relevant citations) and the article should stay afloat. --SteelersFan UK06 04:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Comment, but do you think there is enough information to warrant a second article? All the relevant info could easily be covered in its entry on the List. Nikki311 15:02, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply I just think that the one that they had in WWE was quite notable. there were a number of things that suggested notability - like the fact that (in theory) the wrestlers didn't (and, quite frankly, couldn't) actually know what the hell match they were going to be in until the wheel was spun. Anyone remember the TLC tag team title match that main evented RAW? This match was voted one of the best 50 events in the history of the program. I don't know very much about the WCW one, but i am presuming more of the same? --SteelersFan UK06 04:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply, actually the one in WCW was really bad b/c the wheel landed on the least desirable match choice (object on a pole). Nevertheless, all the information can still be mentioned in the List. Not every mention of the match type is going to be deleted from Wikipedia. It is just going to be moved from a separate article into a combined article. Nikki311 21:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Sounds good then, I retract my earlier vote, I now vote Merge into list, with some effort put into improving the List entry. --SteelersFan UK06 15:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and Redirect per nom, or delete and redirect, which ever is more desirable. Darrenhusted 08:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect - although nothing from here should really be merged as it's all trivial details on the specific matches generated by the wheel. No reason whatsoever why this should be a separate article. Otto4711 19:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect and thank you for making me have to remember Cheetum the evil midget. Wildthing61476 19:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
