3. Getting Excited About A Wrestler Replying To You On Twitter
Twitter isn't just a platform to communicate with friends and complain about your life, you know. It's the perfect place the "follow" your favorites and see what they're up to. The bond between fans and wrestlers has been closer than ever before these last few years with the creation of Twitter. The chances of them replying to one of your tweets are slim, but when it does happen, you feel special, if only for just that one moment. They may have replied to every other fan that day but to you, none of that matters. They took the time to reply to a tweet you sent them and that means the world to you, especially if that individual happens to be a wrestler you idolize. Some fans are just looking for the attention, whether it be positive or negative. They'll constantly tweet someone ranting and raving about pointless crap until they finally respond. When that wrestler makes the dumb decision of replying to that person, that fan who sent the tweet will "mark out" over getting noticed. They'll "favorite" the tweet and boast about being replied to by a wrestler. It's pathetic, sure, but it's the world we live in nowadays. I wouldn't suggest tweeting your favorite wrestlers every minute of every day hoping to get a reply, though. It's a one-way ticket to getting blocked by them, and that's something you surely don't want to happen.
