An article like this should've been a GA a week or two after it was nominated. This was a short and sweet read-through that I got through pretty easily. Aside from what I mentioned above, this article captures the promotion's brief history very well, and didn't leave anything that was needed. I'm going to put this review on hold so that you can edit in what needs to make this a full-fledged GA. DepressedPer (talk · contribs) 15:41, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this endeavor. I have a question regarding the changes you want made. Are the sentences in question: "To create interest for the inaugural..., Douglas stood up during..." and "The inaugural event..., The fans in attendance..."? By putting them together, you mean merging them into one sentence each?LM2000 (talk) 19:00, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

My mistake, I meant 'paragraphs'. Merge the third one that starts with "Douglas released..." with the second one ending with "medical reasons." And merge the fifth one that starts with "After a hiatus..." with the fourth one ending with "due to poor sales."DepressedPer (talk · contribs) 20:20, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, I thought that's what you meant. Done.LM2000 (talk) 20:56, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Now it's looking better. Consider this article passed as a GA. DepressedPer (talk · contribs) 06:07, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
