I'll give this a review shortly. Wizardman 03:23, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome--WillC 06:11, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

You note the Third Belt championship in the lead and main body, but I'm not really following what that means. Was it third in the title history lineage and NJPW moved to the fourth afterward? I'd explain it in the body and just take that piece out of the intro rather than the opposite way you have it currently, since the summary actually makes more sense without it.
- Unclear on what exactly the name means. Best to my knowledge is it was the third version of the IWGP Title belt. So apparently New Japan introduced a newly designed version of the belt after Lesnar left and Lesnar held the previous version which was the third one, so they just called it the third belt. I don't really have a reliable source for that at the moment.
"never having loss the championship in a match" having lost
- Fixed
The last batch of the history section gets choppy. I'd combine the last few sentences into one paragraph and reword a bit to make them flow better (the last sentence in particular feels too standalone for my tastes as written).
- Fixed
Nitpicking perhaps, but it's odd that the other wrestlers have several notes in the reigns section but Angle has nothing; I'd at least note the Joe defenses at TNA if nothing else.
- Fixed

Overall pretty good. I'll put the article on hold and pass when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 02:54, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
