Jinder Mahal’s Wikipedia Page Vandalized Following Backlash

May 22, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

– Anyone who’s spent any amount of time on Wikipedia probably won’t be surprised by this, but Jinder Mahal’s Wikipedia page was heavily vandalized following his win over Randy Orton to capture the WWE Championship at Backlash. In the hour and forty five minutes (as of this writing) since the match ended, the Wikipedia page has been edited 105 times. That includes legitimate editors reverting vandalism.

Among the vandalism edits (which have all been reverted) were:

* “He announced he is gay and in parternership with jerry lawler”
* Name changed to “Frank the Clown,” “Juan Carlos,” Jinder Expensive”
* “The Juice” and “Juiced Up” added to Nicknames
* Heritage listed as “Mexican American”
* He was listed as a member of the WWE Divas division
* Various racist comments
* Bio changed to “Your WWE Champion and the Emperor of Earth. Jinder will no longer be hindered.”
* Bio separately appended with “he also takes steroids but WWE seems not to care.”
