Austin Aries has never been shy about speaking his mind, and during his appearance on WWP Episode 2, he unloaded on something a lot of people in the public eye deal with but rarely talk about: having zero control over their own Wikipedia page.
Aries didn’t hold back when the host brought up details pulled from the site, immediately pointing out how unreliable it can be when strangers with no connection to him are able to edit his biography while he can’t correct factual information.
The moment came after the host mentioned his trainers Eddie Sharkey and Terry Fox. Aries confirmed the info but quickly shifted to the problem he’s run into whenever he tries to update his own page.
“Look, there’s some things on Wikipedia that are true. Wow. What do you know? It’s pretty crazy when you can’t go edit your own Wikipedia with factual information and then you get overridden by, you know, somebody else who doesn’t—never met you before. That’s my experience with Wikipedia.”
Aries’ frustration tells a bigger story about the headache many wrestlers and public figures deal with when it comes to online information. Once something gets posted on a major profile, it becomes nearly impossible to clean up—even for the person the profile is actually about. For someone like Aries, who’s had a long career across ROH, TNA, WWE, and the independents, the last thing he wants is an internet game of telephone shaping his history.
It’s a sharp reminder how easily misinformation gets cemented online, especially when the platforms themselves make it tough for the subject to correct it.
What do you think about Aries calling out Wikipedia? Should public figures be able to update their own pages without strangers overruling them? Drop your thoughts below and let us know.
