Legacy Section

I'm really baffled by beginning the legacy section with a quote by Jordan Peterson. The clause "according to clinical psychologist" just reads to me like this guy has no expertise in this area--its almost funny. All the other quotes in that first paragraph--and nearly all the quotes in the whole section--come from writers and wrestlers with experience and expertise in the industry, so why is the section leading with a quote from someone who, although well known, has no reason to be there. It just feels like someone wanted a reason to link that particular youtube video, and found one, rather than actually informing readers about the importance of the man.

Change the picture?

Can we change the front picture of Bret to something more flattering and youthful? Nobody wants to see old man Bret, its frankly sad. Bret is famous for his Wrestling and nothing else, so it only makes that the most looked picture on his page should be him in his wresting prime. 76.78.78.19 (talk) 17:08, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Please change the word "outwith" to "outside", which appears in the section titled "Professional wrestling career"--in the sixth paragraph under subheading "WWF Champion (1992–1996)".

The article stipulates that it is to be written in Canadian English from the template at the top of the page ({{Use Canadian English|date=April 2022}}) and at the top of this talk page. According to dictionary definitions, it is a chiefly Scottish English word. See Merriam Webster as an example. 2A00:23C6:86A2:2701:B087:1DDE:4B41:FCD (talk) 02:40, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

WWE Grand Slam Champion?

Since Bret won the WWE US Title during his 2010 return shouldn't he be noted as a Grand Slam Champion? 98.56.134.209 (talk) 04:05, 1 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
