For those of you who do not know, the Illuminati is a supposed secret society who manipulates world events and inserts their members into powerful positions.
It could be political or through the media and entertainment business. In this case, it is believed on some level that the Illuminati has infiltrated the world of professional wrestling and has been behind some of the biggest conspiracy theories in WWE and other promotions.
While some might call them rumors or urban legend, the all-knowing wrestling fans would be interested in some of the most out of this world notions that this group is controlling or has controlled and had a hand in wrestling history as we know it.
According to whatculture.com, The Illuminati, sometimes called the New World Order, and has been accused of using media such as WWE to control minds, influence behavior, and change emotional responses.
Yes, professional wrestling is actually thought of as a means of brain manipulation.
Take a second there.
Fact or fiction, it exists. Here are five instances where the Illuminati has been linked to professional wrestling, mainly WWE.
The Ultimate Warrior knew of his impending death
It’s hard to imagine anything more tragic than the Ultimate Warrior dying just a short time after he was inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame and mending fences with Vince McMahon. The time of his passing, plus the cryptic message he delivered the Monday after WrestleMania 30 two year’s ago is something we have not forgotten.
There are many who believe Warrior knew his time was coming to an end.
At one point during his speech, Warrior apparently made the "Mano Cornuto" symbol with his hand, otherwise known to hard rock fans as the Devil's horns. This was supposedly a sign that he knew something evil was around him and he was trying to let everyone know.
Regardless of the reasons for his death or how some believe it was a sign well before it happened, it was still a shocking event and a sad day of yet another hero lost too soon.
The Kliq and the Wolfpac Worshipped the Devil
The Kliq was one of the more popular groups in WWE, consisting of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, Triple H and Shawn Michaels. They were bad ass and were popular among the masses of the promotion.
The same thing can be said for the New World Order Wolfpac – a branch of the original N W O establishment. It is believed because of their mannerisms and how they touching their thumb to their ring and middle fingers.
They will then ask you to do the same thing and you will tap fingers, usually while saying "Too sweeeeeeet" in a high-pitched voice, they were actually worshipping the devil.
While it might have been two different promotions, the same kind of success both factions had may have been the reason why the Illuminati thought this satanic worship was being carried over into rival business.
John Cena and the “666” Symbol
There is no way anyone would believe the 15-time world champion would be some kind of devil worshipper, but leave it to the Illuminati to find some way to bring this kind of thing to our attention.
While Cena is still one of the biggest baby faces in wrestling history, there is a belief among some that his entrance to the ring and how he presents himself to the masses is some form of message regarding his feelings toward the devil.
It is believed the Leader of the Cenation frequently raises three fingers and makes a little loop with his thumb and forefinger. While Cena has always preached the virtues of “Hustle, Loyalty and Respect.” Some think he is preaching “666” because it is “believed” he was kicked out of the Illuminati in 2008 for a lack of being cool.
Hulk Hogan is the Anti-Christ
I think I love this one the most and seems to be the most ridiculous.
Hogan turned professional wrestling on its ear when he turned heel and created the New World Order. Since then, the “good” of Hogan has been replaced the “evil side” where not only is Hogan the Anti-Christ, but the New World Order is still running professional wrestling.
Hogan traded in his canary yellow and red for the black and white of his new faction, joining forces with Hall and Nash and added pieces to the puzzle like X-Pac, Ted DiBiase and of course, Eric Bischoff.
The move actually moved mountains in the industry and helped a revolution of sorts, where fans idolized them – almost to the point of hero worship.
Did Kevin Sullivan Kill Chris Benoit and his Family?
We all know the history between Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy and Kevin Sullivan.
The fact Sullivan and Nancy were married and divorced because of the relationship she had with Benoit, was a huge issue in WCW.
We also know Benoit and Sullivan did not get along backstage when Sullivan was a booker in the promotion, forcing Benoit to drop the WCW World Title, which lead to him leaving for WWE.
There is a belief Sullivan was the reason for the deaths – that he orchestrated the events of killing Benoit, his wife and his son. I’m not buying it, but it bears some attention.
According to one theory, Sullivan possibly with other members of the Church of Satan broke into the home and drugged the family and then killed them all.
