10 Best Wrestling Tweets You Must Read (Before Twitter Dies)

4. Another Classic From The Earl Hebner Collection

And you thought the twin referees angle was a masterpiece, holy sh*t.

The man is dril. It is the only possible explanation. This tweet is so quintessentially Online that it must be printed out and popped into a time capsule, in the event of an unrecoverable technological disaster, to accurately capture this time period for the benefit of future generations. It's the perfect illustration of the Main Character Phenomenon. The movie must be about us because our eyes are the camera.

Everybody thinks they are it.

It must be the case that we're all narcissists, but the most pathological among us get to win at the game of life. How else to explain almost everything you've ever read on a webpage?

This is glorious because Hebner thinks he's some vastly powerful and influential figure not only capable of being the main character, but being revered for it. This tweet is pure macho fantasy. The idea of Hebner getting an eruption of a Road Warrior pop for sending an interfering second out of the ring - while officiating in the Impact Zone - is positively, hilariously deluded.

It's also great because he nearly gets the writing basics right - there's even an apostrophe in there! - before it falls apart in a complete mess of inexplicable capitalisation.
