I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:37, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Overall this is good, I just have a couple issues that are more questions than anything:

"his former partners believed that he was too demanding, and he was unable to find anyone interested in teaming with him due to his reputation as being "difficult to work with"." this sounds like something that would be said rl based on Bagwell's article, making sure that the issue was on-screen as written in the article now.
"As champions, the pair defeated such challengers as Harlem Heat, The Nasty Boys, and the team of Dick Slater and Bunkhouse Buck.[14] However, Bagwell and Riggs lost the titles back to Harlem Heat one week later on Saturday Night." They defeated that many teams after holding the belts a week? Even for the 90s that sounds like overkill, double-check the timeframe.
Blue Bloods links to a disambiguation page; have it link to the tag team.
I'll put this on hold, though I don't expect any issues. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 14:34, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. As for your comments, (1) the statement is taken from a wrestling magazine that is known for running stories that included fictional interviews. The story that this came from was in keeping with WCW's storylines, but I don't believe that it actually came from a real-life comment. You are, of course, correct about Bagwell being known as difficult to work with. I just don't think that this story should be taken at face value, though. (2) Long answer: This came from some confusion about the dates that they held the title. They lost the title on September 27 in a match that was later re-taped on October 11 but not aired until October 28. This is one of the huge problems with writing about wrestling, as it is difficult to decide which date to use. Ultimately, the archived version of the official WCW championship history website uses the September 27 date. Since professional wrestling is unique in the sense that it is able to write its own history, I went with their date. Because they were still appearing as champions until the show aired (they have to preserve the appearance of being champions so as not to spoil the television results), they were billed as champions when they faced the Nasty Boys. Short answer: I removed the statement about the Nasty Boys, as The American Males did not wrestle them before the September 27 match. (3) I corrected the Blue Bloods link.
Please let me know if anything else needs to be done, or if more clarification is needed anywhere. Thanks again, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
That makes sense; forgot about tape delays and the like. Yeah, I probably wouldn't have given the worker sentence a second thought had I not known a bit about Bagwell's attitude to begin with. Everything looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
