(→‎Notable players: on M2K's page, it mentions he popularized the Ding Dong, but i don't know how true that is and he only used him at the two tournaments mentioned. He was also never added on any of the PGRs with DK, so i'll be removing him. I'm not super bought on keeping False on, but if there is any further consensus to remove/keep him, then I am not opposed.)
