Geoff: I do not think that he would be a wrestler or something akin 
to that because Dudley was expecting to see him on a Monday night 
and I don't recall TV schedules including things like wrestling 
during the week. That would be fare for the wall-to-wall sports 
coverage on a 
Saturday...

Kitten: I don't know
 Smackdown, a high rating wrestling
show, is on regularly Thursday nights where I'm from (I have an
12 year old nephew who watches
 I don't-g-) and I don't
ever recall a magician having a tv show whether it be Monday, 
Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday
 nor can I imagine Dudley wanting to 
watch a magic show on tv
 I can, on the other hand, imagine him 
watching a wrestling show.

Geoff: I think Vernon would be able to differentiate between someone 
such as a stage magician whom he would consider to be a fake, using 
legerdemain and deception to produce their results as opposed to 
genuine members of the Wizarding World. After all, the neighbours 
would probably watch the Great Humbrto with the same measure of 
suspended disbelief as the Dursleys, wouldn't they?

Kitten: this is an interesting point, Would Vernon and Petunia let 
Dudley watch a magic tv Show? One would think-g- but Vernon and 
family freaked out when Harry told Dudley to say the "magic"
word, in CoS, so I don't see them being able to differentiate 
between the two.
