8 Ways To Avoid Being Blocked By Wrestlers

4. Don't Offer Advice Or Criticism

Good god, this is a no-no. If you take on board the fact that people inside the business don€™t like outsiders acting like insiders, using insider terms, or presenting so-called €˜inside€™ information to them as fact, then imagine how they feel about people offering unsolicited criticism of their work, of their characters and storylines, or of their perceived position in the company. While some wrestlers are more draconian than others, there€™s no one in the wrestling industry that I can think of who will react favourably to outsiders and complete strangers pulling apart what they€™re doing and giving their two cents on Twitter, or anywhere else. Even in properly sanctioned interviews where they€™re mostly out of character and engaged in promoting themselves and their company, most wrestlers become wary and guarded when the interviewer uses insider terms or begins to talk about angles or storylines. Imagine how they feel when it€™s Johnny Random on Twitter. Fundamentally, you€™re not going to get the conversation you want, so don€™t bother. There are a hundred thousand smart wrestling fans talking about WWE online every week - that€™s your target audience.
