A fan has provoked a furore in professional wrestling after leaking the outcomes of 38 WWE matches ahead of the pay-per-view bouts.

The mystery fan, who identifies himself online as Dolphins1925, claims he has obtained the information from a source at Worldwide Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and is revealing the results to highlight the organisation's failure to keep its storylines confidential.

Dolphins1925 started posting the results on Reddit's professional wrestling forum after another fan launched a "prediction series", asking users for their picks ahead of the matches.

He has since maintained a perfect record, even leaking the results of contests involving wrestling superstars such as John Cena and The Undertaker.

"I am just a WWE fan like everyone . Given that this information is out there, I should continue to share it until it gets the attention of WWE," he said.

He accused WWE management of failing to take "reasonable measures" to protect its plot lines.

WWE denied that there is a leaker in its ranks. "We might have a modern-day Nostradamus on our hands.

"We might have to monitor these posts in advance of our next pay-per-view to see how good he is," it said.
