10 Desperate WWE Superstars That Used Social Media As A Cry For Help
10. Rusev's Day Off
Poor Rusev.
Many a list has contained many an entry with sentiments of this nature over the past few months. Before Daniel Bryan’s return he was the undisputed king of the internet fan police, those determined to help the ‘Bulgarian Brute’ find justice in the form of booking that reflected his mammoth popularity.
Either finding the perfect way to work that level of support into a better spot or genuinely aggrieved, Rusev’s near-the-knuckle Twitter game went next level after a Greatest Royal Rumble casket match kerfuffle sent office/performer relations into a renewed tailspin.
The strange case of his impending clash with The Undertaker at one point saw him cycled out of the Saudi Arabia trip almost entirely before earning a spot back on the flight for the problematic sojourn.

Before ultimately getting back into the contest days later, he transformed his page entirely to disassociate himself from... himself. Changing his profile picture and cover photo to the "Other Versions Of You" movie poster, he also tacitly teased himself taking his business elsewhere:
It was all as weird as the company's stubborn mismanagement of the character, and will undoubtedly be reviewed as another dispiriting checkpoint in his demise when he eventually departs the company outright.
