Seriously when he first took over I was going on about how this was the dumbest thing. Then like, one show later 'oh, hey, this guy is hilarious and awesome? My bad y'all!'

That sometimes things need time and they turn out well, and sometimes better than the "one hour after RAW negative fantasy booking" scenarios? Yes, sure does.

People know pro wrestling is fake, and know when a pro wrestler is walking around with a neckbrace that it is fake. Wrestlers aren't exactly the best actors.

Let's imagine this conversation:

Fan: You are in ECW?
Joel Gertner: Why yes I am.
Fan: But you are fat, completely unathletic and out of shape, won't you get hurt?
Joel: I'm wearing a neckbrace...

It was lovely of them to laugh at her, but in the end she seems shocked at their idiocy because of her kayfabe neckbrace.

So you actually think that AJ walks around with a fake neckbrace on all the time and that the conversation she tweeted actually happened?

I would hope she was doing something as simple as wearing a neckbrace in public if she was wearing one on TV. If it didn't, she made up a stupid story that makes her look dumb... Not seeing where she's not an idiot.

Wait, are you saying the guy was just playing along with her and she didn't realize it? I'm still not sure what your point is. In any case, if the story wasn't true, I don't see what's idiotic about keeping up with her persona on Twitter. AJ's whole schtick is "New girl who runs into wacky misfortune."

There was a video where someone yelled "Hey Edge!" to Curt Hawkins. We should all tweet to @thecurthawkins as if he were Edge and see if it goes anywhere. A few people did it elsewhere, but only three or four. Would like to see if we can make some sort of trend. Maybe it'll give him a new (old) gimmick.

Didn't someone do that to Test years ago? Not Twitter, obviously, but he was eating at a restaurant and the workers kept individually referring to him as Edge.

I would just like to point out that if you're not famous, David Otunga will only follow you if you have his picture for your avatar.

I hated that man so much last year, but he has become absolutely delightful recently. Still sucks in ring, but he wrestles so infrequently now that it doesn't matter.

So you'd rather have her acknowledge that the neckbrace is fake, hence breaking kayfabe? You've drawn a strange line, here. You must uphold kayfabe in public, but only until someone asks you about it. Then, you must admit wrestling is fake or else you're an idiot.

If she was wearing the brace in public, she is stupid. She wasn't though.

That's fine, she should act like it is real. Typically when people post those kind of stories online it is to show what unobservant idiots people are. In this case if she thought these guys were dumb for asking if she gets hurt while she's wearing a neckbrace for a kayfabe injury, she's the one who isn't too bright.

WON HOF actually has standards when it comes to modern wrestlers unlike the WWE HOF. Not everyone gets in. If you're an old-school wrestler, on the other hand? It takes like three people to like you to get in.
