http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhoDJGx9i9Q&mode=related&search= (from about :45 to 1:00) is where I saw bubba ray throw spike into the crowd, not bigelow. Was it a repeat incident, or is the current information incorrect.

It was Bam Bam Bigelow that made it famous. The first incident was on an ECW TV taping prior to Hardcore Heaven '97. As stated in the article, it was at the ECW arena, so it didn't happen AT Hardcore Heaven '97 per se since that ppv took place in Florida. --24.187.77.211 (talk) 01:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wow hes tall

This sentence - particularly the part in bold type makes no sense

However, All the Dudleyz received legal notices from WWE warning them not to use the trademarked "Dudley" name at all, so Hyson had a choice but not to rename himself to Matt "LSD" Hyson, due to the fact he legally owns the term Spike Dudley. --203.214.148.152 05:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC) There is alsoa contradiction within the article over the ownership of thename "Spike Dudley" unless WWE have given him ownership?--217.38.246.254 (talk) 11:46, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so which is it? First it says that he doesn't own his name, and later towards the end it says he does own his name. A little confusing, someone who knows more, please clarify the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.117.79.33 (talk) 13:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. (non-admin closure) Apteva (talk) 21:49, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Hyson → Spike Dudley – Hyson wrestled as "Spike Dudley" for the vast majority of his career and is now retired. A search of the Google news archive returns considerably more results for "Spike Dudley" than for "Matt Hyson". Hyson is, objectively, better known by this name. This will allow far more direct linking. McPhail (talk) 15:35, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
