10 Wrestling Personalities With Great Twitter Game

As Jim Croce once (almost) sang, "You don't tug on Superman's cape/You don't spit into the wind/You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger/And you don't mess around with Orton on Twitter".

Even the briefest glance at Randy's twitter account will show you that Randall Keith Orton is not a man to suffer fools gladly. Take his recent feud with Soulja Boy, if "feud" is the right word for what amounted to the verbal equivalent of a squash match.

For the few who don't know, the pair were engaged in a twitter beef after Soulja described WWE as fake. Randy was understandably incensed, and any time Soulja Boy tried to double down on his position he found the Viper lying in wait, ready to tear him to shreds. Just check out their last exchange: After Soulja Boy managed to scrape together enough brain cells to call Randy Orton a bitch, Orton obliterated the hapless rapper with his reply.

However, it would be doing a disservice to Randy to imply he's only worth following for his rage-fuelled tweets. Whether he's giving credit to those who came before him or talking about smoking weed with a real rap legend, Orton comes across as a legitimately cool individual, and one far removed from the enfant terrible he used to be.

Or as Randy himself puts it, he may have burned a man alive, but he loves Baby Yoda. How bad could he really be?
