8 Wrestlers Who Can't Hide Their Frustration RIGHT NOW

5. The Young Bucks

Slight departure from the theme here, but frustration isn't necessarily something that a pro wrestler, or anybody, feels as a result of their profession.

Twitter is a cesspool. Is it worth doom-scrolling through months' worth of deliberately sh*tty takes and the insight-bereft attempts to dunk on them just to find one mildly amusing tweet? When that tweet reveals "Great Khali once confused Bray Wyatt for Michael Hayes," obviously, the answer is "yes", but mostly, Twitter is a cesspool and engaging with it lessens the joy of following professional wrestling. About the only person having any fun on the platform whatsoever right now is CM Punk, and that's because it's probably all still a novelty for him again. He'll learn.

The Young Bucks especially just seem completely done with the app. Reading USOS BETTER about 4,000 times a day will do that.

Every 'New bio!' tweet is a completely justified swipe at the toxic d*ckheads that ruin everything. These posts are becoming so frequent as to become telling. This dismay hasn't affected their onscreen performances, but this is the act that was once so in tune with the wrestling fandom that they built their entire brand on their connection with them. They aren't targeting the same fans, but still. It's a very sobering read on the state of things.

It...doesn't feel as much fun in general, does it, wrestling?

It's not 2018.
