8 Ways To Avoid Being Blocked By Wrestlers

There€™s an epidemic sweeping the world, and Titan Tower is afflicted as much as anywhere else. Over the last few months, it€™s as if various wrestling personalities and affiliated staff have discovered for the first time a) what online trolling is, and b) how to block it. Like enthusiastic evangelists, fervent anti-bullying campaigners like John Layfield and Taz are spreading the word about these toxic creatures called €˜trolls€™ and the amazing invention of the €˜block€™ button. No longer does Joey Styles have to sit and suffer the slings and arrows of sarcastic wrestling fans telling him that WWE online polls are worked, when he can simply fire off a sarcastic tweet and shout BLOCKED! into the aether. Mauro Ranallo, the new Smackdown announcer, has taken to using the hashtag #BLOCKParty, which is actually quite funny. Of course, some of us are just innocent victims of the anti-troll crusades. Timidly raising an online paw to ask a question of someone we€™ve always held in high esteem (and JBL), we find ourselves misunderstood, dismissed and tagged with the troll brush. And BLOCKED! Oh, the humanity. Naturally, the usual rules on online courtesy apply: don€™t spam them with requests for follows or retweets, don€™t hit on them, don€™t send them pictures of excitable body parts, especially your own. But the following is a set of basic rules for interacting with people from the wrestling industry online without being banned or blocked (BLOCKED!), and probably in person as well. Obviously they won€™t help you if you€™re actually a troll, because you€™ll have three dozen trolling accounts to choose from and, more importantly, you just won€™t care.
