Evidence

The IP address has been constantly creating new accounts purely for vandalising articles with false information such as false theme music, creation of non-existant video games. The sockpuppets have generally have similar edits:

• Tending to put false theme music in articles. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
• Placing films as productions of WWE Films. [6] [7] [8] [9]
• General targets include WWE along with its related articles, Charlotte's Web (2006 film), María Isabel, Seether and Bratz along with its related articles.

Comments

• The IP address was blocked for a week in last February for vandalism. The address was then blocked again for six months on 4 June for use of the Krabs sockpuppets (proven by CheckUser). Following the end of the IP block, the vandalism has started again under Doctor33 and EAA11.

Conclusions

This one was tough, as it requires knowing what the theme songs for wrestling events actually are, which, I have to admit, I don't. But I did research a bit, and it does seem that these accounts' edits are universally unsupported or even contradicted elsewhere. These accounts have made many contributions, including some useful ones, such as creating Charlotte's Web (video game) ... but on the whole, they do seem to be mostly hoaxes or vandalism, and does not respond to comments on their talk page, just blanking it. So it's a shame, but we'll have to lose the few good contributions with the bad. Blocking indefinitely. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 16:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
