Evidence note (master store)
Identity established as Norman Smiley. WWE.com (tier 2, the subject's own promotion), fetched in full, establishes: he is a former WCW Hardcore Champion; he is (at publication) the longest-tenured coach in WWE's developmental system / a WWE Performance Center coach; and the interview itself references his 'Big Wiggle' (Smiley jokes about teaching Tyson Kidd and Dolph Ziggler 'besides the Big Wiggle'), tying the stored signature to him in WWE's own copy. Covers the stored headline's promotion (WCW), signature (Big Wiggle) and later PC-coach role.
