There’s a reason you should never trust Wikipedia as a source, and on Saturday, Eagles fans following the NFL Draft found that out.
When the Birds selected North Carolina State OL Dylan McMahon at No. 190 overall in Round 6, his name went up on the official draft Wiki…but a click on the link led to the page of Dylan Postl, better known to professional wrestling fans as former WWE Superstar Hornswoggle.
A simple mistake, really, as Hornswoggle was once revealed to be the illegitimate son of then-WWE owner Vince McMahon in a 2007 WWE storyline, so his name COULD be Dylan McMahon in theory.
It would be real hard to confuse the two, given the Birds’ McMahon is 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, while the WWE’s is literally half that size – he is just 4-foot-5, and has starred in a reboot of the Leprechaun film series (which, ironically, was sort of his character in his early WWE days).
Now if only the NFL would let our Dylan McMahon use a shillelagh on the field…
