[edit] 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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

[edit] 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.

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
