A fact from Count Grog appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 December 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Pro Wrestling Illustrated has called manager Count Grog the "least employee friendly boss around" due to his frequently double-crossing his own wrestlers?

Count Grog "double-crossing" people?

At Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Q3, a question has arisen concerning Count Grog's reputation as a double-crosser of his employees. The source is not available for most of us to check. Please clarify whether this is an indication of his actual behavior with respect to employee relationships, or a tongue-in-cheek comment about his behavior at fights. If this is not clarified, the hook will need to be withdrawn. --Orlady (talk) 15:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you follow the link to "double-crossing" it points to Swerve (professional wrestling). This makes it pretty clear that it's kayfabe. 71.184.47.206 (talk) 21:19, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is rather disingenuous: it only has that link because an unregistered editor (not sure if you have a dynamic IP number, it was from the same provider) put it there (half an hour after you posted this!), and there is nothing in the source that makes it explicit that the phrase (incidentally, it is "turned", not "double crossed", that is so linked) is linked to a wrestling move of a totally different name: this seems highly interpretative.
