 * Admins note the way WrestlingInsider writes their comments,, exactly like MatthewTardiff. Also please note the personal attack on me.  Crash Under  ride  02:15, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * please note that this user has it out for every edit someone does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrestlinginsder (talk • contribs) 02:23, August 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * there is no personal attack if you use your mind maybe you can see that I'm a kid plus i have autism so stop being a stupid idiot — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrestlinginsder (talk • contribs) 02:22, August 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe now it's just trolling. I suggest a WP:DENY block as this is quite obvious. Dat GuyTalkContribs 05:39, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * May I also show this edit as evidence that this user is MatthewTardiff. Says they have inside knowledge, so, yeah.  Crash Under  ride  20:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

 * attempted to create:
 * WrestlingNews141
 * WrestlingNews
 * But somehow magically failed even though the edit filter claims no action was taken.


 * to the alleged master, but they do request a password reset for MatthewTardiff and there isn't much CU data to go on. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 07:04, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Can you explain further regarding the password reset? Are you saying you can confirm that Wrestlinginsder attempted to reset the sockmaster's password or just that someone tried to reset the password? ~ Rob 13 Talk 06:48, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Since Wrestlinginsder edited right between the reset, I'd say Wrestlinginsder issued the reset. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 06:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Blocked and tagged based on the behavioral and technical evidence. ~ Rob 13 Talk 23:08, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Suspected sock has similar nickname with blocked user MatthewTardiff. Their contributions looks similar too. – Supertey (talk) 11:46, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't know how to explain it, but this is surely MatthewTardiff. They both nearly share the same userboxes, the same editing styles, the same response comments, and heck, they still don't know how to sign them properly.  Nickag 989 talk 16:03, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

And at one point, HardcoreWrestlingFan removed the sockpuppet tag of MatthewTardiff.  Nickag 989 talk 16:06, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
