10 Times Wrestling Fans Turned On Internet Darlings

9. TJP

TJP has this tremendous gift on social media that proves incredibly helpful in this age of profound information overload: his posts are invariably dumb. The longer the dumber, in fact, which saves a lot of scrolling. If TJP has spent that long discussing something, it is assured that he has lapped himself, as he proved recently when warning of the dangers of groupthink and the echo chamber...

...in a post shared only between certain people of his choosing.

It wasn't always like this.

In 2016, TJP stole the hearts of the hardcore WWE fan by opening himself up about his tough upbringing and winning the superb Cruiserweight Classic following a string of emotive and incredibly accomplished performances. And yeah he got booed a bit and did f*ck all on the main roster, but then again who does?

TJP ruined this goodwill, variously, by no-selling the ongoing global health crisis and revealing to the world who the real racists are, and get a load of this, man, if your imprisoned mind is open enough to grasp it: it's actually the people who profess not to be racist.

Whoa.

Get a load of Neo over here!
