Professional Wrestling Article Stats

• We have now reached our goal of getting the number of Stub-Class articles below 600. The current count is 596. It still would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
