10 Best Wrestling Tweets You Must Read (Before Twitter Dies)
1. Cody Rhodes Ends Disco Inferno
— Tweet
You don't feed the trolls because, for some utterly deranged reason, they thrive on the humiliation of being made to look like a complete dipsh*t - as long as they are the most visibly humiliated dipsh*t on that particular day.
If you are going to feed them, you better make it cathartic for those reading it, because even the funniest reply is not worth the bother of reading a bad-faith bid for attention in the first place.
Unless...
Cody's best and most iconic interview was his "Ellis Island" speech on the Full Gear '19 go-home Dynamite. That will forever remain the moment that he became a legendary pro wrestling figure - but he never cut a better promo than the one with which he stigmatised Disco Inferno as an attention-seeking clown.
It's trademark Cody, in that it's verbose, but it's also brutally succinct. "You have drawn 0 dollars" is so cutting that Disco still wears the scars today. This tweet is the first thing you think about when you read Disco's name. "You have drawn 0 dollars" is the absolute last thing any pro wrestler would ever want to read.
There's actually a lesser-seen sequel to this tweet which, while good, is nowhere near as iconic. Kenny Omega's Tremors 2 follow-up put forward the piss-funny idea that Disco inferno wasn't even a good jobber:
I was being generous by calling him an enhancement talent. In most cases no one’s character or career was enhanced by Disco’s performance
