Well that was awful.

How tough is it to turn it wiki-style? Surely Wiki's framework is easy to install on it.
Before I buy it, does this already fulfill what I have in mind? http://prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Pro_Wrestling_Wiki
That site doesn't seem to be anywhere near as comprehensive as what you suggested. There doesn't seem to be any links to matches, just summaries. A better organization of feuds/timelines would be desirable too. The layout is pretty shitty and unreadable with all the ads and that terrible background.
One thing that may be an issue for your idea though would be keeping the links for matches alive. If WWE does a giant purge at some point it could ruin a lot of pages.
Funny thing is you could use a lot of that to describe Bret Hart himself.
Maybe we could just take over the pro wrestling wiki and make it not suck? Or just start a new wrestling page on Wikia and make it great from scratch.
Bret doesn't have a 'good look'. If anything, Bret's ability is extra impressive because of how far he went despite not really having 'the look'.

Oh I disagree; at his prime he was maybe the second or third best looking dude on the roster and he had tons of fans of the female persuasion!
Who did he have trouble putting over? He had issues with Shawn toward the end, but that's obvious why. Everybody practically hated him in that 95-97 time.Life catches up to people.
Also I'm not saying HHH is on the same level wrestling wise as Bret but I don't think he was ever as good as he was billed and he hated putting people over (though that was an even bigger deal in the late 80's/early 90's)
He definitely stopped looking fantastic near the end of his WWF run and looked pretty haggered through his entire WCW run.

Do house shows have titantrons? Shit will be hard so see potentially eh?

Get em while they're hot. WWE will have them down in no time. Someone has posted some behind the scenes videos from last month in NXT, they seem to be promo rehearsals. It's a varied bunch.
He put everyone over in WCW.........They killed the legend. His career has been one of the most interesting in history.
WCW had Bret Hart jobbing to the fat guy from MADtv on Nitro.

Female Shield starring Paige? Hell Yea
It's less who he was jobbing to and more that WCW didn't do anything with him for months. Fresh off of Montreal, they didn't really use him much or have him in any real angles until the Spring of 1998 when they turned him heel and he was essentially just another nWo dude. It's ridiculous that he didn't get involved in the title scene until October of 1999.

That Big E one was pretty funny.
Also, can we please exchange Bo for Bray Wyatt? That'd be super cool.
Even during the height of their popularity WCW had massive problems booking especially at their upper mid card revolving door of title contenders level. They had the right personnel that this largely didn't catch up to them until WWF stepped their game up but they wasted dozens of good wrestlers and buried enough up and comers to make Vince proud.
Macho jobbed way more than anyone else in that group.
The rough and ready Geordie also being an incredible high flyer makes for a really weird combination.Also, Oliver Grey and PAC as the cultured British toff and the rough and ready Geordie managed by William Regal would be wonderful.
