Talk:Ken Patera

message: Uh, the last paragraph says that Ken Patera defeated Mr. America...would that be Hulk Hogan in his "Mr. America" gimmick or one of the winners of the title of "Mr. America?" --Kaizer13 (talk) 18:42, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mr. America 

message: The text says that Patera quit weightlifting after the press, a lift in which he was "disproportionately talented", was eliminated from the game. Well, by looking at the 1971 World Weightlifting Championship results, it doesn't seem so: Patera pressed a mere 212.5 kg, against 230 kg for Alexeyev, and 227.5 for Serge Reding! The text also says that Patera was a serious challenger for Alexeyev in the 1972 Olympics, which is also far from the truth...Whoever wrote this text should correct it appropriately!Gemb47 (talk) 04:02, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, it is regarding this change. In my opinion, since Patera was an Olympic Weightlifter and a Strongman, his higher weight stat (322 lbs) should be mentioned as a range like in this version. Also note the infobox is not explicit for a pro-wrestler either. What do you think? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 09:28, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I didn't notice but you are right it's not a pro wrestler infobox. Feel free to change it. Hunterb212 (talk) 15:19, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
