Pro Wrestling Scandal

[Old Texan]

This is about as hilarious a deal as I've heard......The WWE is concerned because an anonymous internet fan has correctly "predicted" the results of 38 straight matches!!!!!!!!:yikes

Well, not fake, exactly. Men (and some women) are throwing one another around for real every week, and it for-real hurts. But pro wrestling is indeed predetermined, and we're not telling you anything you don't already know. Wrestling isn't about real competition, it's about spectacle and storytelling. (In other words, another spoiler: the ending of every movie you see this summer is also predetermined before you walk into the theater.) The art is in the showmanship, the performance of the story.

But what happens if we already know what's going to happen? That certainly seems to be the case over at Reddit's r/SquaredCircle forum, where a poster by the name of Dolphins1925 has been leaking the results of match after match ... and he's been right, every single time, 38 of 38 matches, including every single match of this past week's Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View.

So who is Dolphins1925? Insider? Observant worker? He's not tipping his hand: ?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," Dolphin1925 wrote. ?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.?

And the article even alludes to some idiots bet on these matches.:rotflmao:

Gambling on the WWE would seem to be a ridiculous proposition, but it does happen, with bets capped at low limits precisely because something like this could occur. Deadspin points out that each of Dolphins1925's picks, and the eventual victors, were the favorites going into matches, which might suggest that bookmakers have an informational edge as well.

Okay....who tuned into "Celebrity Wife Swap" a couple of weeks ago when Roddy Piper's wife switched places with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair's live-in girlfriend? And if you're up for some classic TV sometime, catch a cable channel airing a 'docu-short' (about 40 minutes) called "My Breakfast with Blassie" -- it's comedian Andy Kaufman (the self-proclaimed Intergender Wrestling World Champion) having breakfast with pro-wrestler 'classy' Freddie Blassie in a coffee shop. Sitting just a table away were five or six women also having breakfast....and they get into a verbal scuffle with Kaufman. It is classic Kaufman at his best.
