[edit] WWE contract signing

It's about time official word was made that the WWE signed Harry Smith. I was getting tired of reverting that comment. I know I was being anal retentive about it, but Wikipedia is not a rumor mill. There are a ton of wrestling sites out there that simply aren't reliable. Beisnj 23:13, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Smith has confirmed his signing on his website. I doubt WWE will release a statement. McPhail 18:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I saw on a more reliable wrestling website than some of the others that were quoted stating that he had signed. I wasn't even willing to trust his own website. I know that's harsh, but wrestlers make claims all the time that aren't true. Given that edits claiming he was signed to the WWE were also coming in with a bunch of other edits claiming he was 600 pounds and other such silly vandalism, I thought there was a decent chance the whole thing was just nonsense.

[edit] Stats

WWE lists him as 6'5" and 260lbs. I'm changing it.

(this is a different person due to him not signing) Yes, people, remember it says BILLED height, not real height. Moi! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.126.205 (talk) 22:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Four flags in infobox

Why is it necessary? WP:FLAGS is not policy but it has superb rationale why it is silly beyond comprehension. hateless 19:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake

It says he debuted in 2000, yet it says he was born in august 1986, and then it also says he debuted at the age of 15, now isit just me or does anyone else notice a mathematical inequality there?

Well it's a small error yes, as for his young age it's not uncommen for people that young to debut, we've got a few in England. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.171.163 (talk) 02:40, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] he lost the championship

Harry lost the FCW championship to Afa Junior, due to a planned no show title defense —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.25.153 (talk) 00:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Debut on Raw

It should be noted he officially debuted on RAW this past week under the name D.H. Smith. 82.4.71.30 03:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

it's done NiciVampireHeart (talk) 18:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag

I changed his British flag icon to a Canadian flag icon, seeing as how he was born and trained in Canada, not in Britain. --Jimmy Wang Yu: Version 2 05:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Plus the WWE have recognized him as Canadian not British. 203.113.237.132 03:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suspended

Could somebody add that he was suspended on 2nd november along with Chris Masters. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.184.159 (talk) 23:43, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

He only wrestled for a couple of weeks and he's already suspended. And, sign your comments. 76.110.82.251 17:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

It's done. NiciVampireHeart (talk) 18:03, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Year of Birth?

I am a bit confused about his Date of Birth, on onlineworldofwrestling.com it says 1986 now on here it says 1985 and on IMDb it has both!! So which year is it? Govvy (talk) 16:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It said 1986 in the infobox, and I've changed the lead to reflect that. I think we should stick with 1986, since OWOW is more reliable than IMDb. If a more reliable source can be found with a different date, then I would suggest that it be added but until then 1986 seems to be correct. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 16:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Isn't he Going under The Canadian Bulldog now? and he is a heel Joe ferst (talk) 00:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

His in-ring name is DH Smith the call nickname is "The Canadian Bulldog", the bracket attachment nicknames are not a separate alias. They do that in boxing also but the quotation part of the alias is never added to profile name in title. Govvy (talk) 09:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
