A Redditor Has Been Leaking WWE Outcomes

In February on r/SquaredCircle, Reddit's pro wrestling forum, one poster kicked off a "prediction series," asking users to pick who they expected to win at that week's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event. The winner was a user named "Dolphins1925," who posted just minutes before the start of the event, and nailed the results of every single match. It was the first sign that WWE had sprung a leak.

...

He claims he doesn't work for WWE himself, but has a source who does. He claims he's revealing the results in order to embarrass the company, so it'll realize how leaky its ship is. "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.

...

Dolphins1925 wrote something of a manifesto, explaining why he's doing what he's doing.

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. Vince and upper management are not taking reasonable measures to prevent this information from being leaked. 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. It is for these reasons that I am hoping to put an end to WWE insiders leaking PPV outcomes.

Also, I feel that WWE owes the fans. They need to be more protective of the actual results as a fellow Redditor had stated in the thread. It is hurting the integrity of the product, and I should not have access to this information.

What say ye?

Wait, so who else besides Dolphins1925 watches pro wresting? I mean, is leaking the outcomes?

Evidently enough people to bet on outcomes of fixed matches, according to the article.

"Stonecold traitor drones" was my immediate reaction before viewing the poll.

Andy, thanks for offering me exactly what I felt.

Enough is enough and its time for a change.

I watch wrestling. It's exceptionally entertaining. Bring on the critiques.

Did dolphins1925 write the manifesto before or after he was outed? If before, props to him. If after, screw him.

I thought this topic might lure you in, TGD, since I recalled you were recently playing some WWE games.

That would be unfortunate since you would have missed the "Attitude Era" which saw Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, Kane, HHH, Shawn Michaels. It was immensely entertaining.

I remember on my Super Nintendo I had WWF Royal Rumble or something like that. I use to play it all the time. Running into the ref, knocking him down and out so I could choke my opponent without impunity was nice. Moreover, I could then use the one steel chair that was outside the ring. Also, all the thuds and kicks and punches sounded the same.

I had just about every wrestling game (WCW and WWF) for the N64. Other than the announcers, no one had voices. You would hear grunts of pain on occasion, but yeah.

One game, you could reach into the crowd and pull out random weapons to use.
