Yeah, I'm suprised that the reporters didn't press him more on where he heard the rumors. The articles I read just attributed the info to rumor and left it at that.
president of WWE
Yeah, I read that their headquarters are located there. The info had to come from within the organization.
See! A president. More politics.
conspiracy?
What could they have to hide?
It's a well-guarded secret that Professional Wrestling isn't real. Maybe Benoit was going to blow the cover off the whole gig.
Oh ! Quick, someone check my Wikipedia entry and see if me or my wife have died!
if that's all it took.
Okay Ann, you're wishing me dead.
Ever hear of the newsgroup Rec Sports Pro Wrestling?
It makes our very own troll forum look like a Disney Forum....and I don't have a doubt that the individual that did that is a regular member of that group.
Weird Coincidink?!?
Kansas City.comAn anonymous user with the same IP address as the person who made the edits confessed early Friday on an online discussion page attached to the Web site, saying the changes were based on rumors and speculation, not hard evidence.
The authenticity of the posting could not immediately be confirmed.
"I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it," the user wrote.
According to Wikinews, an online news source connected to Wikipedia, the Internet protocol address of the individual is identical to that of the user who edited Benoit's profile early Monday morning. An IP address is a unique series of numbers carried by every machine connected to the Internet.
Benoit's page on Wikipedia, a reference site that allows users to add and edit information, was updated at 12:01 a.m. Monday, about 14 hours before authorities say the bodies were found. The reason he missed a match Saturday night was "stemming from the death of his wife Nancy," it said.
Wikipedia confirmed the authenticity of the time stamp and said the entry was made by someone using an IP address registered in Stamford, Conn., where World Wrestling Entertainment is based. The anonymous user acknowledged being from Stamford, but claimed no connection to WWE.
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales told The Associated Press on Friday that officials of the site became aware of the posting Tuesday.
"The guy who's admitted to doing it said it was just a coincidence," Wales said. "He said he was hearing rumors. I wonder where those rumors came from. I guess the police will figure that out eventually."
Investigators in the Benoit case did not return phone calls Friday seeking further information.
Not really a secret. Steroids and drugs on the other hand, are kept pretty close the vest in that world.

Chris Benoit Case: Police Seize Computer Of Wikipedia Culprit

Chris Benoit Murder-Suicide Update - A Wikipedia posting announcing the death of pro wrestler Chris Benoit's wife 14 hours before the discovery of Chris Benoit and his family's bodies has become a major obstacle in the murder-suicide criminal investigation, reports ABC News.
Lt. Tommy Pope, a spokesman for the Fayette County, Ga., Sheriff's Department said, "It is unbelievable what a hindrance this has put on our investigation .... we've got to put a lot of effort and time into working to prove or disprove that someone put up a hoax situation or that somebody was conceiving the death from out of state."
Happy now Yonivore?
The idea that anyone had advance knowledge and would use that knowledge to update a wikipedia page, while doing nothing else, is ludicrous...
The posting was done from Connecticut, while the murder took place in Georgia...anyone having that info could have only gotten it from Benoit himself or someone close to him, or someone that had inadvertantly stumbled upon Sullivan's body at Benoit's house...
It's unlikely he would just leave that bit of info on the WWE's answering machine and they would update his wikipedia page and not call the cops. That'd be kind of stupid. The only two guys Benoit might have given that info too are Dean Malenko or Chavo Gurerro...and those two guys probably don't even know what Wikipedia is....and even if they do...there was a PPV going on and they were working it. And even if they did have time...
Benoit didn't even tell anyone his son had fragile x....I doubt he's going to tell someone he murdered someone before he was done doing what he had to do(in this case kill himself). I can't believe this discssuon went on this long with ya'll drawing that(Georgia Connecticut) conclusion for yourselves.
Anyway..whoever did it came forth and admitted it...
Get with the times, Whottt was stripped of mod power months ago, along with the rest of the mods.
Hey, nice of you to stop by and check in on the kids!
