Matt Sydal's Move

[edit]

It is called the Here It Is Driver. He has said so himself. That's the reason I changed it twice...

Then you can recommend him to change it on his official site, where it's listed as Here We Go Driver.

I have never heard the name "Here We Go Driver" before.83.233.58.62 10:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you watch the pilot of Wrestling Society X, you can heare him say "Here It Is!" when he does it to Jack Evans.--Nairanvac 13:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Age

[edit]

Who put that he was born in 1985? I'm sure that he was born in 1983.


Yeah, he would've had to have been to begin training in 2000 when he was "a senior in high school"
ok so let's say if he is born in 1985, then in 2000 he'd be 15 and he would be a freshman in high school. I think it really is 1983, and even his myspace does not have him as 22 years old, it says he is 24, which means he was born in 1983. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.138.143.10 (talk) 17:21, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

OVW

Sydal lost the OVW title, I'd change it but I can't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.124.4.220 (talk) 03:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Sydal's actual birthday is September 11, but he decided to avoid controversy and change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.150.83.42 (talk) 22:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His real name - Matthew Korklan

[edit]

The real name of Matt Sydal aka Evan Bourne is Matthew Joseph Korklan, or just Matthew Korklan. Matt Sydal is just a gimmick name he uses. http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/m/matt-sydal.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.241.20 (talk) 16:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evan Bourne

[edit]

Tonight i saw him use a spinning back kick so you should add that to is signature moves —Preceding unsigned comment added by SonsOfAnarchy1982 (talk • contribs) 02:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Using a move once does not make it signature. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

[edit]
Resolved

I would like to nominate Matt Sydal for a name change. From Matt Sydal to Matthew Korklan.HabsMTL (talk) 21:18, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done -- iMatthew T.C. 01:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I know this is resolved, but I agree with the original poster. He does not go by Matt Sydal anymore, and it's not his real name. To say "he's best known as Matt Sydal" is not true, as he may have been popular in the indies, but I can garentee after tag teaming with Rey Mysterio on RAW, he is much more widely known as Evan Bourne than he ever was as Matt Sydal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.201.172.139 (talk) 15:29, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree that he is not "best known" as Matt Sydal any longer. --ECWAGuru (talk) 20:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is true. He's getting a big push in WWE and doesn't look to be likely to get released any time soon. A move to his real name or Evan Bourne is probably a good idea. I'll propose it at WP:PW/ANC. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Annoying practice

[edit]

I find it very annoying that this article is using ringname (realname) whenever a wrestler is mentioned instead of just using the much easier to read ringname in the text, which then links to the wrestler's page, usually located at realname. Is there some policy behind this, or did someone just do it?76.226.124.247 (talk) 19:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's an old policy that used to remain unenforced in wrestling articles due to WP:PW's ignorance of it's existence. Per WP:FICTION and WP:IN-U articles are to be written out of universe, as to be accessible to all readers. The practice of ring name (realname) was decided to be the best way to accomplish this. If you can think of a better way to do so, visit the suggestions page. For further info about this see the project's talk page. I'm not a huge fan of the policy myself, but oh well. Also, thank you for asking here first rather than just simply removing it, as most end up doing. :) Cheers, Gavyn Sykes (talk) 23:55, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Sydal → Evan Bourne OR Matthew Korklan

[edit]
Resolved

Not best known as Sydal anymore, though whether to move to Bourne or Korklan is up for debate. He's well known as both Sydal and Bourne, but more so as BOurne due to the exposure he gets in WWE as compared to the indies. But he's used Sydal for most of his career. So would his real name be better? Placed per Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Any move. As much as Sydal has worked on the indy circuit I don't think his fame in WWE will change it. To kids he is Bourne, but to older wrestling fans he is Sydal. Maybe when he wins a title in WWE it would be alright to change but not now since he has worked in ROH and TNA, the number 3 and number 2 companies in the US next to WWE.--WillC 00:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose any move - It's too early to move his name at the moment, he debuted on ECW as Matt Sydal and he gained prominence and exposure under that name. The name Bourne is not as notable yet, maybe in the near future.--SRX 02:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both Although he is getting major exposure as "Evan Bourne," he is still more well-known as "Matt Sydal" by many Indy and WSX fans. BTW, @SRX, when did he use Mat Sydal in ECW? SAVIOR_SELF.777 03:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Plus he has worked in Japan and many other promotions across the world. To answer SRS's question. In his first match against Shelton Benjamin he was announced as Matt Sydal.--WillC 03:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose both - he is currently best known as Matt Sydal and he WAS announced as Matt Sydal against Shelton Benjamin, he is getting major popularity as Evan Bourne so maybe we can make the move in like 2 months-- Brothers of destruction

The result of the move request was move approved by consensus -- Aervanath (talk) 06:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Sydal → Evan Bourne — He is now much better known as Evan Bourne. A Google search now gives four times more results for Evan Bourne than Matt Sydal. As Matt Sydal he wrestled in small promotions limited to DVD distribution with sales in the hundreds, as Evan Bourne he now wrestles weekly on television for worldwide audiences in the millions. — JimRDJones (talk) 17:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: Done way more in the indies than in WWE. Still better known as Sydal. Plus appeared for TNA and WSX on tv as Sydal.--WillC 22:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Did nothing notable in WSX or TNA (and WSX was basically not watched by anyone). Every week he is seen by millions of people worldwide (as compared to a few hundred in the indy feds) and appears to be in the middle of a big push by WWE. TJ Spyke 17:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per my comment below. Baileypalblue (talk) 18:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per my comments below--ECWAGuru (talk) 22:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I don't know the topic at all and as a newcomer, I am much more likely to learn the name he goes by now than I am an older name. The same is true of all people into the future so the preponderance of people who know him by the name he goes by now will only continue to grow. Per WP:UCN the new name is more common by a country mile. 167,000 for "Evan Bourne" wrestler verses 41,600 for "Matt Sydal" wrestler. For a topic like this an image search, which shows what caption was used for photographs, posters and the like, is a good indicator as well. The disparity there is even higher: 28,000 verses 6,020 (about 5:1). For videos, 1,110 verses 446. For products 70 verses 10. For blogs 21,512 verses 3,740 (about 6:1). More significantly than many of these, a news search of 2008 shows 76 verses 15. In other words, everywhere you look the commonality indicators remains consistent and support the move request. Much of the debate below is founded on speculation. I'll go with evidence every time.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Though I'm prefer it to be moved to Matthew Korklan if it must be one of his ring names, it should be Bourne. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 15:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]
Any additional comments:

I do believe he's better known as Bourne. However, perhaps we could move it to Matthew Korklan, his real name. I really doubt we'll ever get a consensus to move to Bourne or to stay at Sydal. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:18, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really don’t think the article should be moved to his real name, Matthew Korklan, because not only is that name barely known [1], but nearly all other pro wrestler articles are listed under the most well known ring name. Also, there is just no way he is better known as Sydal, and this can easily be shown by comparing the results of two Google searches [2] [3]. Also his appearances in TNA and WSX cannot be compared with his WWE run because not only did he make few appearances on television, but both of those shows had miniscule viewing figures compared to WWE. JimRDJones (talk) 02:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Lets see. Sydal has held every title in his career as Sydal. Also ECW only gets around 1.7 million a week. WSX got the same rating during their run. Combine his time in ROH where he became a World Tag Team Champion and his time in TNA where he appeared on their very first monthly PPV, he is known more as Sydal. Plus made his debut in WWE as Matt Sydal, but they can't copyright that so they changed his ring name to a new one. The move to his real name is because he has no common name. Sydal and Bourne are near equal. It would take Bourne to win about two or three titles in WWE and be a player on Raw or SD for about two years before he is known more as Sydal. Since Sydal as wrestled all over the world as that name. I support moving to his real name as well. No problem there.--WillC 04:51, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Some basic research destroys your rating argument. The HIGHEST rating WSX ever got was its debut show which got a 1.0 rating (about 1.1 million viewers) and every other episode was 0.7 or lower. ECW on Sci Fi averages 1.3. Also, they could trademark Matt Sydal if they wanted because nobody owns it (a search of the USPTO proves this). He has not done anything notable under the Sydal name. He had a brief and un-notable run in TNA, nothing notable at all happened in WSX (which was watched by almost nobody and got pulled by MTV before all the episodes aired) and did some minor stuff in other indy feds. Even though he hasn't won a title in WWE yet he has already been seen my millions more people than he ever did in other promotions. TJ Spyke 17:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As Evan Bourne he is arguably the biggest star on ECW, a weekly show that scores around a 1.3 rating in the US, and he also frequently makes appearances on RAW, a weekly show that usually gets just below a 4.0. Both of these WWE shows are also shown in dozens of countries around the world. Wrestling Society X was a short lived MTV series that ran for 9 episodes, debuting at a 1.0 rating and quickly dropping to a 0.3 by the end of the run (assuming the Wikipedia article is accurate). At the time he appeared with TNA they were struggling to break a 0.1, and he was nothing more than an undercard talent for them. JimRDJones (talk) 12:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably the biggest star? No, he isn't arguably at all. You have Christian Cage on that show. A two time NWA World Heavyweight Champion who at one time was leading a national promotion twice. You also have two other big named stars in Tommy Dreamer, a former one time ECW World Heavyweight Champion and the soul of ECW though that was killed long ago by Vince. Also Fit Finlay, who has worked in two national promotions during his career where he held titles in both companys. Sydal? Not the biggest star and is being de-pushed as we speak, because cruiserweights don't last long, look at Jimmy Wang Yang. Rey got lucky. The thing is he stilled appeared on two other nation promotions (by nation I mean TV). In total in WWE they reach 10 million a week world wide. 5 million a week on Raw here in the US. Add another million world wide since ratings are not big in other countries. SD is less than 2.0 now and is trying to break 3 million now. ECW is getting 1.7 million now. Sydal is featured in job matches on the other shows and gets 3 minutes at most on them in the ring. On ECW he is getting less time. So he is becoming known as Bourne but not alot. He is known by the kiddies now but most don't know that cage is already a world champion even though WWE want to re-write that history. So he is getting expose under both names. In TNA, they reached people through a small TV network in Foxsports.net, plus they had monthly PPVs and weekly PPVs before that. In ROH they had DVDs, and traveled to Japan, England, etc. He held the ROH World Tag Team Championship with Chris Daniels as well while he was there. So either way he has accomplished alot under both names. Now WWE is available in alot of homes. But by just being on their tv for a few months doesn't mean they've become notable more under that name. Case A is Chris Harris. Done way more outside of WWE. But in no way in hell is he more known as Baden Walker (that hurt when I first heard his name).--WillC 13:44, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a massive difference between Chris Harris and Evan Bourne. For a start Chris Harris was a far bigger name outside of WWE in TNA than Bourne ever was. Then secondly Chris Harris only made three WWE TV appearances before being dropped, while Evan Bourne has appeared dozens of times including on the main Raw show and is being pushed as a future star. Evan Bourne is arguably the biggest star on ECW because of the exposure he gets on the other brands. Christian Cage is also up there but he’s only recently returned to the company and most viewers have no idea he was a world champion in TNA, so that means very little. Tommy Dreamer’s gimmick for virtually his entire WWE run has been that he loses and looks sad, so he’s about as big a star as the Brooklyn Brawler.JimRDJones (talk) 14:32, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Being pushed as a future star? He lost to Morrison this week. Wasn't drafted and wasn't even involved in the elimination chase. Has no title opportunities either. Won't either since the next three PPVs will not involve him. Dreamer at Extreme Rules since that is the last day he is under contract and Cage is probably about to win the belt. I just used Harris as an example. His The Definitive Collection joke is bigger than his WWE career. Again appearing on WWE's other shows don't mean much. Colt Cabana appeared on there for about a few weeks, then was gone (how sad, could have become a major thing). As for the Cage thing, most viewers don't know about WCW because they are 10. WWE's key demographic is 13 to 18. There is alot more fans out there than them that know these wrestlers by different names. I still call Cage, Cage, and alot others do as well. But he has done more in TNA than WWE, though is often remembered as Christian. Dreamer's gimmick is that of a jobber, WWE can't use him right. But the Brawler thing is unfair. Dreamer causes riots in Philly and NY. I remember the TNA house show where they went insane because he was in the crowd. As it comes down, Sydal has done nothing in WWE besides bring back the Star Press which London really did but they got pissed at him for that. Won nothing and has really no big feud. Got one maybe two title matches so far. If he was at Mania in a title match then I would somewhat agree. But at the moment, he is on the C show, being pushed here and there (lets face it cruiserweights hardly ever make it pass IC level), and in no prominent feud. So compare that to Sydal of the indies, Sydal done more over Bourne. Common says which ring name is more common. Sydal is what he is referred to as more. But since we have this problem, would be better to move it to his real name.--WillC 14:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Will, see WP:CRYSTALBALL before making predictions like he won't be on the next 3 PPVS, that Dreamer will get a title shot, that Cage will win the belt, etc. What did he do in TNA? The only notable thing he did was compete in the Super X Gauntlet match at Victory Road 2004. He wasn't at WrestleMania because he had just returned from an injury that had kept him out for a few months. I also fail to see how him losing to Morrison or not being drafted means he isn't being pushed. If WWE hadn't gotten rid of the Cruiserweight Championship I think he would have won that by now.

  • Comment: the best evidence so far comes from google searches which demonstrate that the name "Evan Bourne" gets far more ghits than "Matt Sydal" or "Matthew Korklan" (I don't get quite the same numbers as JimRDJones, but the broad picture is clear). Much of the above commentary seems to have strayed into a discussion of whether the wrestler is/will be more notable as "Evan Bourne" or as "Matt Sydal", but that's not a good way of determining which name he's currently better known under (and that is the criterion). Analogy: Chad Johnson spent most of his life as Chad Johnson, most of his notable acts occurred when he was Chad Johnson, but because he's had a widely-publicized name change his article is now titled Chad Ocho Cinco. Here's the key question, in my mind: do most of the people who knew the wrestler as "Matt Sydal" know that he's switched to "Evan Bourne"? If so, he's better known as Evan Bourne, and this article should be moved to that title. Baileypalblue (talk) 18:58, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the key question, in my mind: do most of the people who knew the wrestler as "Matt Sydal" know that he's switched to "Evan Bourne"?
That is an interesting point. I do believe that the people who knew him as Sydal, the fans of independent wrestling, are far more likely to know about the name switch than people who first learnt about him in WWE. A Google search seems to confirm this. If you search for both names simultaneously you should get slightly more than 50% of the results of “Matt Sydal” alone, but less than 7% of the results of “Evan Bourne” alone. JimRDJones (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That is probably because most of the hits are like Wikipedia in that they will say something like "Evan Bourne, also known as Matt Sydal" which results in both Sydal and Bourne getting a Google hit. TJ Spyke 19:44, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is different in wrestling. Just because fans knew him as one name and now know he changed his name doesn't mean he is far more known as that. I'm known as Will, but my real name is William. Because I shortened it to Will does that mean that is my most common name now and my real name from now on. Goggle hits just shows articles he is talked about in. He still has two ring names and won more titles as Sydal. That is like saying The Dudleys are now know more as Team 3D because they appear on TV by that name, but that isn't the case. Look at common name. It should only be moved if his current ring name is outweighs by big lengths. That isn't the case here. With two names, he has no common name. It doesn't matter what he did in a promotion, it matters his name is out there. By appearing on multiple world wide promotions under one name and then again in a different under a new name means he has no common name. It is slipt 50/50.--WillC 19:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here comes the thing. If there is a conflict in names, then what should happen is this. It should be moved to a name that shows no side. Look at Cage, it is Jason Reso (when it should be William Reso) because he has two weel known ring names. In this case he has two well known ring names. Indy fans who make up half of wrestling and the other mainstream fans make up the rest. It would be best to move to his real name. This isn't because of popularity. This is because there is a dipute in name. That way, this isn't a problem. Even the article says he is not known more by one name. I knew him as Sydal before his WWE debut and never saw him wrestle once. So it does reach to a certain length of fans.--WillC 20:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Dudley’s are more commonly known as that because they used that name during their peak of popularity, they only became Team 3D when they moved to a much smaller promotion. Totally different to this. JimRDJones (talk) 20:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But here is the thing, they've had fame in three promotions. Plus TNA isn't that small. They reach around 2 to 3 million a week, plus tour the world more often. Team 3D have also become the first ever TNA World Tag Team Champions, main evented TNA PPVs, and are the current IWGP World Tag Team Champions under Team 3D. Plus opened a wrestling school under such name. Why should we say they aren't equal with The Dudley Boyz name? Yes they won multiple titles under such name, but where never pushed higher than the tag disvision but once or twice in WWE. Sydal on the other hand was pushed higher in ROH than in WWE. Have held a title there so have become established. And appeared for Dragon Gate, ROH, TNA, WSX, OVW, and WWE under such name. Yes OVW is small but while it was WWE's training ground people payed attention to it alot. So in the end, you have Sydal who has wrestled under Sydal much more than Bourne around the world. While in WWE he has become over just like Jimmy Wang Yang was before his de-push. IMO I base common name on where he wrestled, what he did, and what he is known as or what he'll use later in life. Sydal fits the bill each time. The kids will know him as Bourne, but the 25 year old wrestling fan who watched WCW, ECW, WWF/E, TNA, and ROH will call him Sydal.--WillC 20:24, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I threw my two cents in about this last year. But bottom line -- there is zero way he is "better known as Matt Sydal." Matt Sydal never had an action figure. Evan Bourne does. Matt Sydal was never in a video game. Evan Bourne is a downloadable character in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009. I am not going to get into a back-and-forth about this, because I already beat my head against the wall in the WrestleMania 25 discussion. I also researched the same stats as above (Google is a beautiful thing); WSX never pulled a 1.7 rating. At its peak, it hit a 1.0. It's just the typical stubbornness of a select few that we have to continue this same tired dialogue over and over again. And seriously? Comparing him to Jimmy Wang Yang? I don't recall vignettes hyping the triumphant return of Jimmy Yang Wang. And yes, the kids will know him as Bourne. The 25-year old wrestling fan know him as Sydal. But when you combine the two audiences, guess what? He is more well-known as Evan Bourne.--ECWAGuru (talk) 02:27, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What? If you combine the two audiences, then he's known by more people as Sydal (WWE fans plus indy fans that saw him previously). Being in WWE doesn't make him more well known as Bourne.Gavyn Sykes (talk) 17:13, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Considering the vast majority of 25-year-old wrestling fans are at least AWARE he is in WWE as Evan Bourne. Indy fans and WWE fans are hardly mutually exclusive. --ECWAGuru (talk) 22:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
And yes, considering WWE draws 4 million viewers per week, that does inherently make him more well-known as Bourne. People are so stuck on this "ECW draws a 1.3 rating", forgetting that Bourne appeared several times on WWE Raw...one of the consistently top shows on cable television. 4 million viewers > five-figure ROH DVD sales. --ECWAGuru (talk) 22:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is absolutely absurd. In ROH he wasn't even a main eventer. Change the page title to Evan Bourne and do it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.145.33 (talk) 02:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And he's a Main eventer in WWE? He was a tag team guy and midcarder in ROH. He midcards and sometimes MEs ECW in WWE. Not too much difference, IMO. I know I said above I believed he was better known as Bourne, but a comment made after that put on the other track. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 17:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Fine move the damn article. Go ahead and insult me like I care. We are supposed to have an admin do it, but I guess the newbies don't know how to learn protical.--WillC 02:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's necessary to move the page back now, because the move discussion can continue and move wars are counterproductive. However, if this discussion results in no consensus, the closer should move the article back to its longstanding title, Matt Sydal, per Wikipedia:Moving_guidelines_for_administrators#Determining_consensus.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Evan Bourne. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Rename back to Matt Sydal?

[edit]

He's been out of WWE now for 2 years and has since returned to his Matt Sydal moniker. Perhaps we should move it back to Matt Sydal to reflect his current work. Rusted AutoParts 05:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Matt Sydal

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Matt Sydal's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cagematch":

  • From Matt Riddle: "Matt Riddle". CageMatch.
  • From John Morrison (wrestler): "John Morrison « Wrestlers Database « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database". www.cagematch.net. Retrieved December 19, 2019.
  • From Ethan Page: Kreikenbohm, Philip. "Ethan Page « Wrestlers Database « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database". www.cagematch.net.
  • From Diamante (female wrestler): Kreikenbohm, Philip. "Angel Rose « Wrestlers Database « CAGEMATCH – The Internet Wrestling Database".
  • From Evil Uno: "Player Uno". cagematch.de. Retrieved 2009-01-09.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:23, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
