As mentioned earlier, Beth Phoenix's site was not hacked and the
TNA logo was put up several months back when the webmaster was no longer being contacted by Beth with updates and exclusive news.
Beth Phoenix's ex-webmaster emailed me the following statement regarding her website being "hacked":
I would like to issue this statement in regards to the Official Website of Beth Phoenix being hacked
There are some sites reporting that someone hacked the website, and placed the TNA logo there, other sites are reporting that it was just a disgruntled webmaster . . . this is what happened
I was the webmaster for Beth's Official website for its entire 9 month run, and at this point Id like to explain what has gone on. Disgruntled is only the beginning . . .
I approached Beth Phoenix in regards to an Official website when she was still working down in OVW before being called back up to the WWE main roster last year. I believe we launched the site sometime around April, 2007, with the full support and input of Beth herself. We spoke about how the site should be and Beth sent some cool ideas for some video promos that I ended up making as teaser trailers for the countdown to the opening of the site.
I had told Beth that I would look after all the registration and hosting costs of the site, because I am a pro-wrestling fan, I wasn't bothered about spending some money each year to become the webmaster for Beth's official website and stay in contact with her.
She wasn't the easiest to stay in touch with, even when she was still down in OVW, but I still continued on with the site. Then some of the Beth Phoenix fansites, which may I say do an excellent job, started to get some exclusive news that I felt should've been reported first and exclusively on Beth's official site. I asked why we couldn't do it through our site, and was promised by her husband, Joey, that he would now handle reporting all news etc. to me (At this point Beth had been called back up to the main WWE roster).
We done some cool stuff with Joey, his tag-team partner Robin Knightwing, and Beth's best friend, Kevin Grace, like PPV predictions etc. And I am grateful for their help at the time when Beth was busy on the road.
Unfortunately, once again, I was informed of new exclusive news being reported by a Beth fansite and I had had enough at this point. I was promised by Beth that she would send me on some stuff for doing the website for her for free, which I never received, when I asked about this stuff that never arrived, I received a Christmas card/photo signed by Beth, Joey & Knightwing. I was also promised that when Beth was in Belfast on tour with WWE (I live in Ireland), that she would in the least give me a phone call to say hi and thank me for doing the website, which, again, I never received that call.
