It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
- As part of this, the project's second stub drive has been set up, and will run until the end of 2009. Please help out if you can.
