TheShowOff Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Twitter is the greatest thing to happen to wrestling, we all know that. But what do you think it would have been like if it were around during the Monday night wars? Would wrestlers like Mick Foley have been exposed as being thin skinned? I picture a world where Eric Bischoff trolls Mick Foley on a daily basis. I imagine Vince Russo in 2000 having some awful Twitter say on the official WCW Twitter account. If such a public forum were around I imagine he'd be "teasing" stuff on a constant basis. Lot's of leverage Tweets towards end of contracts also. Hashtag opposition. What do you think we could have seen back then, and what would you have liked to have seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I imagine much like now fans would moan alot about stuff kinda like 'bring back the attitude era' would be 'bring back REAL wrestling' type stuff #montrealscrewjob would be a huge trend going back further so would #Austin316 Its interesting in general cause the internet must affect some peoples opinions on some stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted August 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 27, 2014 If Twitter had been around back then, Russo would have immediately declared it the future of the business and done away with TV matches altogether, making guys type their moves to each other like a TNM match report. @billykidman I powerbomb you @juvijuice I reverse your powerbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It would be used to swerve fans as much as possible. They'd have the live TV feeds on a one minute delay and @WCWofficial would be tweeting misleading results just before the finish of each match.
