I would assume so. We would have to look into a hosting site that supports that platform.

Before I buy it, does this already fulfill what I have in mind? http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Wiki

There are a good few wrestling encyclopaedia-type out there, we'd probably just be copying content listed elsewhere.
I say buy WrassleGAF.com and make it a site for reviews & recaps.

If it's alright with you guys we can do a trial run with a Wordpress blog w/multiple authors. It'll be free and we'd sorta test the waters with it.
EDIT: wrasslegaf.wordpress.com is ready...ish. PM me your email address to be a contributor/etc.

That site doesn't seem to be anywhere near as comprehensive as what you suggested. There doesn't seem to be any links to matches, just summaries. A better organization of feuds/timelines would be desirable too. The layout is pretty shitty and unreadable with all the ads and that terrible background.
One thing that may be an issue for your idea though would be keeping the links for matches alive. If WWE does a giant purge at some point it could ruin a lot of pages.

Yeah, in my mind there'd be a simple "Link not working? Suggest a Revised Link" spot where contributors can find alternatives that'd get approved.
I never did dig too deeply into the wikia site at all.

Wow Just read what Brett Hart said about HHH and its exactly how I feel about him.
"Then you look at someone like Triple H. When I look at him -- he's always had a good look as far as his body went -- he always had a pretty muscular physique. But you look at someone like Hunter and you wonder, what has he really done. One move that he ever created that nobody ever saw before or some highspots or an idea for a match... He's mostly a guy that just showed up and they made him. He's always been a decent wrestler -- I would consider him a good wrestler and pretty talented. But great? I don't know, I don't think so."

Bret doesn't have a 'good look'. If anything, Bret's ability is extra impressive because of how far he went despite not really having 'the look'.

If it's got a structure there for inserting matches, I'm all for that - the new wrestling page. Something like wrestlingregister.wikia.com or something that indicates it's about matches, and we're not focusing on personality pages etc.

I think being out for the whole invasion hurt him somewhat

I could name you 10 incredible Brett matches, HHH are all the same mediocre.
Oh I disagree; at his prime he was maybe the second or third best looking dude on the roster and he had tons of fans of the female persuasion!

I know this may be asking a lot, but if you had a 3tb external dedicated to just the wrestling vids, then you could save them just in case they were ever taken down. You could simply re-upload them.....just for them to be taken down again.

Life catches up to people.
Also I'm not saying HHH is on the same level wrestling wise as Bret but I don't think he was ever as good as he was billed and he hated putting people over (though that was an even bigger deal in the late 80's/early 90's)
He definitely stopped looking fantastic near the end of his WWF run and looked pretty haggered through his entire WCW run.

Who did he have trouble putting over? He had issues with Shawn toward the end, but that's obvious why. Everybody practically hated him in that 95-97 time.

He put everyone over in WCW.........They killed the legend. His career has been one of the most interesting in history.
No, they have a special limited set for house shows.
There may be a small screen for videos to play.

WCW had Bret Hart jobbing to the fat guy from MADtv on Nitro.

Get em while they're hot. WWE will have them down in no time. Someone has posted some behind the scenes videos from last month in NXT, they seem to be promo rehearsals. It's a varied bunch.

One of them has already been deleted.
It's less who he was jobbing to and more that WCW didn't do anything with him for months. Fresh off of Montreal, they didn't really use him much or have him in any real angles until the Spring of 1998 when they turned him heel and he was essentially just another nWo dude. It's ridiculous that he didn't get involved in the title scene until October of 1999.

Yeah, Bischoff had no fucking clue how to use him. He was in the U.S. Title scene for about two years fucking around with DDP and Dean Malenko, lol.
That Big E one was pretty funny.
Also, can we please exchange Bo for Bray Wyatt? That'd be super cool.

That was probably one of the strangest things I've ever seen in pro wrestling. I think Bret Hart won that match though after Will Sasso's valet turned on him. At least that's how I remember it.
That Yoshi Tatsu video is awesome. Now I want to see Inoki vs Tatsu feud.
Summer Rae is massively out of place, though.
It's almost like they were getting revenge for the fake pushing they had to do with Hogan at the beginning of his run/were doing a reverse Vince and burying the WWF guy.
But then when you really think about it you'll realize that he just wasn't high enough on the clout scale and if you didn't have at least a bit of stroke you were donezone.
Even during the height of their popularity WCW had massive problems booking especially at their upper mid card revolving door of title contenders level. They had the right personnel that this largely didn't catch up to them until WWF stepped their game up but they wasted dozens of good wrestlers and buried enough up and comers to make Vince proud.

The Bray one was awesome!
Well, they had Hogan, Nash, Hall, Macho Man, Luger, Scott Steiner, Bagwell etc who all wouldn't job to people, then all Hogan's buddies in the midcard who got protected. Sting was supposed to be one of the main guys so he wasn't jobbing much. DDP jobbed to a few people but he was trying to stay on top and he was Bischoff's neighbor. Big Show didn't job much either (but he shouldn't anyway). Then you had Warrior, Glacier, Goldberg, at various points. It was a big clusterfuck, and there was a whole other layer of veterans below that messing around with people and playing politics.

Mr. Enigma is a walking wrestling encyclopedia.
Big Pappa Pump also did a surprising amount of losing but that was arguably before his real push.

The rough and ready Geordie also being an incredible high flyer makes for a really weird combination.
