In some ways, best handled by treating such bios in classic NPOV
fashion - 'According to the show's website, <person> ...'

These biographies are probably semi-fiction, but in some ways should
be handled like pro-wrestlers' official biographies - important in the
context of the fictional character they play, but should be separated
from the real-life person.
