Looks like someone needs to take Adam "Titan" Scherr's phone away from him for a bit.

The former Braun Strowman has been busy the past couple of days, commenting on social media about AEW and "engaging" wrestling fans about Control Your Narrative.

Scherr repeated nearly word-for-word Tony Khan's now-infamous "independent study" tweet and then added "#whatamark" afterwards. He also apparently responded to an Instagram post about the same Khan tweet, "Why is there no face to palm emoji. This is the same guy that pays the dirt sheets and says his wrestlers are free to do what ever but black balled them from CYN shows. Why???? Cause we’re a f**king threat.”

Scherr also told a fan who joked that he'd make his kid watch Raw as punishment if he got the same haircut as the wrestler that "dynamite would be far worse punishment."

If that wasn't enough, Scherr then apparently confused the term "based" as a negative thing and took a swipe at a fan trying to pay him a compliment for saying any community, including the transgender community, should be able to live their lives how they want to and be happy.

Also during the past few days, Scherr has spent time on Twitter sparring with fans, insisting that Control Your Narrative isn't an independent wrestling promotion, stating that fat-shaming will get people in shape, and talking about how rich he is.

It's true that wrestlers are almost always working, even when they're taking swipes at fans, but you'd got to wonder whether fighting with dozens of Twitter users about CYN being an indy is going to draw more fans out to their shows.
