10 WWE Wrestlers Who Enjoy Trolling The Internet
These ten wrestlers are as skilled at working fans online as they are in the ring.
WWE Superstars are fun to follow on Twitter, some more than others. There are those who simply hype their upcoming appearances through their social media handles and progress existing storylines, and then there are those who take the platform into their own hands. It is those wrestlers who make Twitter the entertainment spectacle that it has become.
Take Chris Jericho's latest stunt as a prime example. He hinted at another hiatus from WWE coming off his loss to Dean Ambrose at the Payback pay-per-view. There was heavy speculation all day long that he was on his way out of the company, but Jericho put those rumors to rest by resurfacing that same night on Raw to rekindle his rivalry with Ambrose.
Anyone who has closely followed the career of Y2J for years knows this is not his first offense of trolling the Internet Wrestling Community, and it certainly won't be his last. Jericho may not always stay true to his character through Twitter, but regardless of whether he is a face or a heel, he knows how to “work” his followers and work them well.
He isn't the only one to hone his craft at trolling the Internet over the years, as there are countless other athletes who are equally skilled at the art in a variety of ways.
10. Randy Orton
The sadistic version of Randy Orton from 2009 surely wouldn't have had Twitter. But since getting married, having kids, and easing his anger issues, Orton is much more of a family man. Thus, it isn't out of the ordinary to see him send out a tweet every so often.
He isn't the most active member of the WWE Universe on the social media platform, but when he does fire up his Twitter machine, he tends to tweet some gems.
In late 2014, Orton was asked by a fan on Twitter when WWE Shop would capitalize off the mainstream attention his "RKO Outta Nowhere" phrase was getting. Orton responded with a snarky remark, saying "when they make room for something other than (John) Cena merch."
Obviously, Orton and Cena have always gelled well behind the scenes, so it wasn't meant to be a shot at Cena but rather a way to get a rise out of the Internet that constantly claims WWE sells nothing but an abundance of Cena merchandise at live events (which is true to an extent).
He also took it to Twitter to insult a fan that was constantly harassing his wife on Twitter as well as in reality. Don't upset The Viper because he just might strike back.
