Corey Graves went into total Twitter meltdown mode on Sunday night.

He was presumably so blitzed that he thought it was Saturday, and it's a good job he sobered up, because with it not being a pay-per-view weekend, he almost missed RAW. We almost missed out on his valuable insights, witticisms, and constant belittling of Renee Young.

The self-styled punk rocker essentially told poor people to go f*ck themselves, stuck up for JBL and Bill DeMott, and bullied respected journalist David Bixenspan for his appearance and his supposedly rotten track record. If anything, Bix is fastidious to a fault, but if you look past his purposefully insufferable Twitter persona, you will find excellent, detailed long-form Deadspin pieces that do not revise but shed new insight into the history of professional wrestling. He is an emerging new voice in pro wrestling journalism, but solely because of that, Graves went in hard - as hard as he'd like to go in on Mandy Rose, and imagine taking inspiration from Jerry Lawler and stealing the perversion, not the jokes.

Graves made a total spectacle of himself on SUNDAY night, and has yet to offer proof of Bixenspan's "reporting inaccuracies". Maybe he tattooed proof on his own person, Memento-style, but covered them up with more boot polish in an attempt to appear "alternative".
