10 WWE Stars More Interesting On Social Media Than TV

9. Tye Dillinger

The "Perfect Ten" gimmick is a noose around Tye Dillinger's neck. If that sounds overly dramatic, consider the way WWE book the guy: Dillinger's biggest roles in the company to date have come as a one-note tenth entrant in the Royal Rumble or because they need someone to fill the first slot on a hokey SmackDown Top 10 list.

Aside from his number-related appearances and a brief foray into US Title territory, Tye has done next-to-nothing outside of NXT, and that's a real shame when looking at his Twitter page. Dillinger likes to quote fan questions and give hilarious answers. For example, when one person innocently asked why Tye wasn't being pushed by WWE, he responded by saying he gets "pushed all the time", but "most guys are bigger than me so I usually fall down". That dry sense of humour is absent on TV.

When he's not showing a penchant for self-deprecation, Tye is interacting with fellow stars like Tyler Breeze and at least trying to get something going. It's rotten that WWE's creative team don't seem interested in doing anything with him.
