10 Crazy Wrestling Social Media Meltdowns
10. Baron Corbin Goes After Dave Meltzer
It's been a rough week for Baron Corbin. Not only did 'The Lone Wolf' lose his Money In The Bank briefcase in humiliating fashion on SmackDown, but he also managed to make a fool of himself on Twitter, with the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer his biggest target.
Responding to Dave's criticism of him as a potential WWE Champion, Corbin lashed out at wrestling's most respected journalist:-
What matches and promos has Dave meltzer done. Ohh none! He is a old man who could never do what anyone on the roster can or could.

He and Meltzer then engaged in a brief dialogue, before Corbin decided he'd had enough and reached for Twitter's block button. 'The Lone Wolf' has since deleted his tweets.
Though Meltzer previously stated that Baron had only been pushed due to WWE's "fetish with tall guys," Corbin picked the worst possible response. To suggest that a paying customer (particularly one who's contributed as much to the business as Meltzer) can't pass judgement on his work is ridiculous. By his logic, almost every movie, album, and game review ever written is irrelevant, you have no grounds to complain if you're served a bad meal at a restaurant, and you'd better not talk about an election result unless you've held office before. Absurd.
