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.
"I will win this guaranteed," Dolphins1925 wrote as he made his picks. "I know all the winners."
That sort of confidence in itself isn't unusual; neither is someone scoring 100 percent on his predictions. Pro wrestling is fairly predictable. Pay attention to who's being pushed and who's being buried, combine that with dirtsheet rumors on what storylines are coming down the pipe, and you can get a pretty good sense of what's going to happen at any given event.
No, what's weird about Dolphins1925's perfect slate is that he made his picks for the next pay-per-view, and the next, all the way down to last night's Money in the Bank event, and he's been completely right, every single time. He's 38 for 38 in predicting the results of matches. He's not just some fan guessing. He knows WWE's plans.
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."...More?

From pwinsider.com:
According to two WWE sources, this story has made them even madder about the creative leaks. Everyone in WWE who gets their hands on all of the information ahead of time better realize that they are now on WWE's version of Dean Wormer's Double Secret Probation. And oviously, they should be.

Tamina Snuka to Appear Alongside The Rock in ‘Hercules’
Tamina Snuka has been absent from television recently and now we know why: she’s following in the footsteps of her wrestler-turned-actor cousin, The Rock!
Tamina tweeted about her involvement in The Rock’s latest movie, Hercules: The Thracian Wars:
Studying My Script to add some Tamina to "Hercules" w/ @TheRock
It is currently unknown what role Tamina will play in the movie, but it is definitely interesting to see the WWE let her take this opportunity.
Hercules: The Thracian Wars, also starring Ian McShane, John Hurt and Rufus Sewell, is scheduled for a 2014 release.

Updates on Physical Hall of Fame, Including Another City in the Mix Besides Orlando
A physical WWE Hall of Fame is not in the company's short-term plans, according to WWE executive John Saboor.
"It's not certainly in our short-term plans, but that's not to say it couldn't be," Saboor told Brian Fritz of BetweentheRopes.com at Thursday's Performance Center grand opening in Orlando, Florida. "But, I think it's more in a longer-term vision and a longer-term discussion that Central Florida and WWE have."
Saboor said a physical Hall of Fame is part of WWE's routine capital expansion discussions, but they do not seem to be close to a decision.
"I think our Chairman, our management, our senior leadership team will every so often look at the possibility of projects," Saboor said. "I think there are lots of things that need to happen in order for that to even be discussed."
Orlando is considered the leading candidate to house a physical Hall of Fame, especially after the Performance Center launch, but Saboor also threw out Las Vegas as a potential host city.
"There's no question that when and if the WWE Hall of Fame is established, it needs to be established in a destination," Saboor said. "It needs to be in a place where not only our most passionate fans would travel, but that we can capture concentric circles of audience - people who maybe didn't initially plan to make this part of their vacation, but add a day trip or a half-trip to their vacation. ... Central Florida has expressed desire in the past, as have other cities."
