10 Ways To Successfully Build A WWE Babyface

8. Social Media: Less Is More

Like it or not, social media is an important part of most businesses today and WWE are no different. Long gone are the days when your favorite superstars felt like they were forever unreachable, shrouded in mystery and off doing who-knows-what in Parts Unknown. Nowadays, most WWE superstars are just a search field box away. The social media world has created some divides that would simply not have existed had this form of communication not existed as there are way too many people who use the forum to spew hatred and negativity. As it is, this is the world we all live in but, at least for some superstars, less social media activity is definitely more. How many times have we seen talents get themselves into trouble because of their (mis)use of social media or because they said something they shouldn't have? Too many to count, and guess what? It's going to continue to happen. But I'm not even speaking about that so much as I am the frequent usage in which the audience gets to see and learn more about the person sending the Tweets. For as much as it is meant to connect individuals, the social media empire is great for creating a divide. It also runs the risk of pulling the curtain back a little too much and breaking down the barrier that once protected a superstar as being larger-than-life. The WWE promotes Superstars. The use of social media as a promotional tool is one thing, but the talents are better off keeping an air of mystery around them and acting like a true superstar than by letting the world know just how normal they really are.
