Name

Can we not call him Little Bastard, that's not a nice name really, and it is franky bad English. Just call him Lepricorn. Govvy 15:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you'll have to take that issue up with Vincent Kennedy McMahon, we can't exactly make WWE stop using any particular gimmick. I wouldn't want to call him Lepricorn either though... -NickSentowski 17:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Little Bastard is bad English, but "Leprecorn" isn't? I think you'll find that it's "Leprechaun". And Leprechaun isn't his name, it's just what JBL thinks he is. 88.105.245.40 00:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On this Fridays addition of SmackDown Finlay referred to him as a Leprechaun. Govvy 16:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look here: http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/ 6 down, 3 right it says "Little Bastard". If that's not good enough, perhaps this link text will do it for you http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/littlebastard/profile/ .

As I said, we can't change facts, and it is a fact that Dylan is indeed "Little Bastard".

-NickSentowski 02:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded and added Leprechaun as one of his alias ring names, as Finlay refers to him as a Leprechaun as does JBL, which I feel is the correct thing to do. Govvy 11:28, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just prefer to call him "Dylan The Midget". Whenever I mention him to my friends, it's never just "Dylan". If you add "The Midget", everyone knows who you're talking about.

Interesting fact: Dylan attended Fox Valley Technical College in 2004, where he was training to become an X-Ray technician, before he broke into the big time. Whenever I thought about him wearing an X-Ray technician suit, it brought to mind the scene in Willy Wonka where they shrunk the gigantic candy bar. Midgets in radiation suits!!!

Yeah... Most of his friends just refer to him as "Midge" - NickSentowski 16:37, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

MySpace

Everyone, PLEASE stop posting links to Dylan's MySpace page. I am a personal friend of his and I addressed it with him directly, he does not have a "promotional" or "public" myspace page. The most page most commonly linked to is his real page, but he uses it as a way of contacting people he knows, not to garnish attention from his fans. I'd compare it to handing out his phone number, it just isn't cool. - NickSentowski 19:25, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Migit wrestler

Why does it have to say that? Why cant it say dwarf or little person? Calling a dwarf a migit is a) rude and b) WRONG (PEOPLE ARENT SUPPOSE TO SAY IT) Midget wrestling is the technical name for it, so that is why he is in that category.--Olla667 23:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zack Shadow 07:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC) This subject has always confused me. "Dwarf" and "Little Person" both sound a lot worse, and more demeaning, then midget..[reply]

Yes, you see, the term "dwarf" comes from the mdeical term "dwarfism", just as "giant" comed from "gigantism" or "giantism", and "retard" comes from "mental retardation" Calgary 21:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minor stuff

The article says his first speaking part on television was on the St. Patrick's Day week 2007 episode of Smackdown. In fact, though, he had a scene a few weeks prior to that where he argued with Finley about not wanting to face The Boogeyman, at the end of which Finley dumped him in a trash bin. I don't know off hand the episode date, but I think it was also the same episode as the first second appearance of Mini-Boogeyman.

Also, I noticed that the article's only source of information appears to be WWE's official website. It would be very helpful if the article could also include some other, independent references about him. Generally speaking it's not a good idea to rely solely on one publisher for information. Has he ever been talked about or interviewed outside of the WWE website? Dugwiki 20:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Zack Shadow 07:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC) That wasn't an episode, and it wasn't the first appearance of Mini-Boogeyman, it was at No Way Out.[reply]

Signature Moves?

What happened to the list of his finishing and/or signature moves??? The Tadpole Splash should be put down, as he used it before he came to the WWE dR 09:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cruiserweight title

Isn't he also the youngest cruiserweight champion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.196.121 (talk • contribs)

Kayfabe!

He didn't actually sign a lawsuit with WWE, it was all a storyline. Someone needs to mention that. 81.145.241.230 14:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Original Plans

Originally, WWE planned to ditch the Cruiserweight title after Hornswoggle won it, and introduce a new belt. Not sure if they're still gonna do that.

You ripped that off of pwheadlines and you didnt get it al right you need to go back and read it.

No fool, he got that from www.wrestlezone.com. When Hornswoggle won the championship, WWE was going to ditch it and introduce a new title. Maybe you should go back and re-read it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Падший ангел (talk • contribs)

I don't have to re-read it I already read it on pwheadlines I've already had to deal with someone like you so just stop arguing. BIGCANDICEFAN 02:36, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me? Arguing? Go fuck yourself. I'm not the one creating multiple accounts, vandalizing, leaving, and coming back and vandalizing again. Pwheadlines sucks. I have relatives who work backstage in WWE and TNA. I am also training to become a professional wrestler, and I'm training in Neo Spirit Pro Wrestling here in Ontario. They were going to abandon the fucking title and bring in a new title. Now shut up and go get yourself blocked again. Падший ангел 06:49, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First of all you can't say fuck on wikipedia potty mouth and if I wasnt afarid of getting blocked again I'd go off on you but you know what im going to let you get in trouble for it and i will file a ANI report on you and also i'm not even vandalizing anymore so get ya facts straight and yea i'm sure you gone be a wrestler (yea right) and I don't care if your relative is the president my aunt is a WWE Executive Officer for WWE and OVW Donna Goldsmith. BIGCANDICEFAN 23:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neo Spirit Pro Wrestling buddy. I'm training under the name "Kaine" which I ripped off of my buddy ImmortalKaine. Also, I'm pretty sure you can say Fuck on wikipedia as I've already fuckin said it 10 fuckin times you fucking moron. I've already filed an ANI report against you as you have created several accounts just for the purpose of starting flame wars. So you're too damn late. Also your aunt isn't Donna Goldsmith, retard.
