It is called the Here It Is Driver. He has said so himself. That's the reason I changed it twice...
Who put that he was born in 1985? I'm sure that he was born in 1983.
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)
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)
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)
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)
Is he allowed to use the SSP or does he just do it anyway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.45.107.75 ( talk) 13:22, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
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)

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

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

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

polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's naming conventions."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.--

12:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)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)

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)

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.
