A fact from Abe Jacobs appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 September 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Whoever wrote this paean of praise needs to recall that she/he is referring to professional wrestling which is a deliberately choregraphed amusement for those who enjoy such activities. Ballet is another example of this genre!
If one of the contenders, with both hands tied and ankles tightly linked by short chains, defeats simultaneous attacks by six or seven synchronised opponents without disturbing her/his hairdo please be assured is is not headline news and worthy of the first item on the six o'clock news.
When Mr. Jacobs, together with his well publicised handicaps, emerged triumphant from the contest you should know it was because of the professional arrangements and not because he possesses some gift beyond mortal man. In short, it was only entertainment and really not worthy of a place in the "Did you know" feature.
Otherwise you must please arrange another such article telling the world that, yes, David Copperfield really changes humans into tigers! Thank you for your attention and I trust you aren't really so naive or else we should have to put that into the "Did you know" feature. 10:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
