WWE – Now with ESP
The creepy just got eerie. Someone on a computer in Stamford, Connecticut, where World Wrestling Entertainment is based, posted an addition to pro wrestler Chris Benoit's Wikipedia bio making reference to the death of his wife, Nancy Benoit – 13 hours before Atlanta police discovered her body with those of her husband and seven-year-old son! The posting read "Chris Benoit was replaced by Johnny Nitro for the ECW Championship match at Vengeance, as Benoit was not there due to personal issues, stemming from the death of his wife Nancy." The folks at Wikipedia – who reversed the edit an hour later and typed in a comment to the effect that "saying his wife died is a pretty big statement, you need to back it up with something" – said the posting went live at 12:01AM Monday; police found the bodies at 2:30PM that afternoon.
