Remember!

Akira Tozawa has beaten The Miz, The Miz has beaten John Cena, and John Cena has beaten The Rock, Who has beaten Hulk Hogan & The Undertaker. This means that Akira Tozawa is better than numerous WWE/WWF legends.

Even though the wrestler is non-binary, Mike Bailey looks like a man. Can you please fix and move Bailey into the men's side of the Face & Heels list of TNA wrestlers please?

Well I know I was with ECW from 93-2000, WCW & WWF Prior to that. 10th man to hold the ECW TV Title, last man to hold the Eastern TV Title, FIRST to hold the Extreme TV Title.
Either I’m missing something on the complete roster or the roster is not complete.

WHERE IS GIULIA AND STEPHANIE VAQUER ON THIS PAGE THEY ARE SIGNED TO WWE YET NOT ON THIS PAGE! YOU HAVE A WWE LOGO BEHIND WRESTLERS ADD THOSE TWO AND PUT THE WWE LOGO BEHIND THEM LIKE YOU DID WITH RAQUEL AND TAMINA AND OTHERS. IS IT HARD TO DO THAT. CAUSE YOU ADDED THE RAW LOGO BEHIND RHEA. SO ADD GIULIA AND VAQUER WITH THE WWE LOGO BEHIND THEM THEN CHANGE IT WHEN THEY DEBUT ON NXT!

I'VE BEEN EXPECTING TO SEE GIULIA ON THIS PAGE AND EVERY TIME SHE IS NOT THERE SO WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG. NOW YOU HAVE VAQUER TO ADD SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!
