WWE embarrassed as wrestling match outcomes leaked online - Telegraph
A fan has provoked a furor in the world of professional wrestling after leaking the outcomes of 38 WWE matches ahead of the pay-per-view bouts
The mystery fan, who identifies himself online as Dolphins1925, claims he has obtained the information from a source at Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and is revealing the results to highlight the organisation's failure to keep its storylines confidential.
Dolphins1925 started posting the results on Reddit's pro-wrestling forum after another fan launched a "prediction series", asking users for their picks ahead of the matches. He has since maintained a perfect record, even leaking the results of contests involving wrestling superstars such as John Cena and The Undertaker.
He insists he does not work for WWE. “I am just a WWE fan like everyone else, and I am getting my information from a source who has VERY credible inside information regarding the outcomes (win/losses) of the matches themselves.
“Given that this information is out there, we both feel that I should continue to share this information until it garners the attention of WWE.”
He accused WWE management of failing to take "reasonable measures" to protect its plotlines
"These people whom are leaking this information are profiting off it at the expense of the WWE, the fans, and the integrity of the product," Dolphins1925 said.
"I am hoping that spreading the word will get WWE's attention," he wrote. "I am hoping that it will put a stop to spoilers from being leaked."
WWE refused to acknowledge that it could have a leaker in its ranks. It said in a statement: “We may have a modern day Nostradamus on our hands.
“We might have to monitor these posts in advance of our next pay-per-view to see how good he or she really is.”
