A debate has been raging on for the past five years or so, arguing for and against the advent of social media in the pro wrestling world. On one hand, people have argued that the medium allows fans to get closer to their favourite stars than ever before, enabling the folks who follow wrestling to keep tabs on what the people who do it are up to. Standing polar opposite on the flip side of the argument, others have stated that the incessant plugging on wrestling television about what's trending on Twitter, how many followers this Superstar has compared to that star, and the growing amount of airtime afforded to social media over the years is to the detriment of the product. Generally speaking, it's fine when wrestlers use Facebook or Twitter to further rivalries, promote matches, or help develop their character, but these men and women are people, just like everyone else, and thus have flaws. Hacking is a huge problem for celebrities, specifically on Twitter, leading to embarrassing PR jobs, necessitated by a weak password.
