The Extreme Makeover Home Edition demolition scheduled for 5:00pm has been delayed until 7:00pm.

Today we learned how the old Suggs family home in Horry County would be demolished.  Professional wrestler, Big Show, along with the Bella Twins, and R-Truth, will be helping the designers tear the house down.  

When EMHE built Renee Wilson's home in Horry County in 2007, they used a giant golf club to smash the old house - a tribute to Myrtle Beach being known as the golf capitol of the world.

The Suggs family are big WWE fans.  NewsChannel 15's Allyson Floyd caught up with "Big Show" and asked him why he decided to be involved in the Extreme Makeover build.  "A chance to make an influence, a positive influence, for a family like this is great. You have to be a cold hearted person not to have tears in your eyes. Truly amazing to give something like this to the family," said Big Show.

Already hundreds of people have arrived to watch the demolition.  They will wait as the temps go down with the sun.
