| Deceased professional wrestlers categories |
delete. Nearly every article was already in another professional wrestler category (usually Fooian male/female professional wrestlers), and I manually added the rest. Only two articles—Marianna Komlos and Wally Karbo—will be excluded from this category tree after deletion, because I could not determine from the articles whether they were in fact professional wrestlers or just performed some other role (e.g. announcer, manager, promoter) |
