This has to be the most disillusioning leaked secret information so far this year.
It seems that Professional Wrestling is fixed.
WWE embarrassed as wrestling match outcomes leaked online
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.

(15,038 posts)3. I used to watch "wrestling" with my Grandma. The favored at that time was "Gorgeous George". . .
Even at 6 years of age, I knew it was scripted. But Grandma enjoyed the farcical nature of it all, and there really wasn't much else on TV those many years ago. Fun times, sitting with Grandma. Didn't much care what was on . . .
