BenoitWikiGate 2007

I was going to blog about the Rove/Xibit feud, but we'll push that back to Monday, because Benoit is still all over the news, and considering pro wrestling is the only thing I really know about, I may as well take advantage of it.

There is an interesting news story about Benoit's Wikipedia page, specifically the entry that says he missed WWE's 'Vengeance' Pay-Per-View (which took place a few hours after he murdered his retarded son) because of the 'death of his wife Nancy'. Only thing is, it was posted 14 hours before cops discovered the bodies. Not only that, the I.P address of the dude who changed it hailed from Stamford, Connecticut - home of the WWE, and my personal Mecca.

Is Vince McMahon a Wikipedia Contributer?

But, I don't buy it. It was public knowledge Benoit missed Vengeance and the Saturday show because of a family emergency, and was also known that he'd told people his wife and son were 'vomiting blood' (LIAR!@). In other words, some dick has made an assumption, turned out to be right, and now it's a conspiracy.

Of course, it wasn't the only edit done to Benoit's wikipedia page. In search of a hot exclusive news item, I dove into the Benoit Wiki archives, and found some other, Sydney Morning Herald-worthy revisions...

Here's one, just hours before the news broke...


I remember the match where Benoit won the Queen's Award For Being So Boring.

But, you've told us what he did in 2004... What did he do in 2003?



God, I remember it like it was yesterday. The only thing more entertaining than the Benoit fart was the Benoit fart video highlights package the WWE showed on Smackdown! that week.

Anything more recent, say... 2007?


Wow. I think this is why my uni lecturers never liked Wikipedia sources.

And, finally...




Pictures promoting gay items? First off - considering he's shirtless, oiled up and wearing wrestling tights in most of his pictures, what could he possibly be holding that could make him look gayer?




Ohhh.... Right.
