I think it's very hard to call Ryback's recent Twitter antics "unintentional." The dude is pretty obviously going out of his way to have fun and play off of the people who hate him.

He's still a dangerous worker who shouldn't be on television until he can stop injuring people with basic moves, but he's at least a more entertaining one than he was three months ago.

Move him from active wrestler to WWE social media manager.

Granted I'll give you all that which you wrote, but, considering WWE's actual product is mostly wasted opportunities traded in for the status-quo, watching what these guys do outside of the ring is usually more entertaining than watching them actually apply their trade. Which is ironic because social media is basically a gate way into the IWC if you aren't already a smark to begin with.

I basically have a theory that Vince doesn't really know what social media is, but hes heard it so much in meetings that he just drives into it full throttle going "get me as many of them tweets and likes as possible." But, if you gave Vince a computer he probably wouldn't even know how to get to his Super Star's Twitter pages.

I just find it extremely ironic that Vince has set up a system of literally creating Smarks whenever a young teen/adult starts looking into why his/her favorite super star is disgruntled from social media, but yet hates the IWC at the same time, because he still has the mindset of a early 80's territory carny promoter.

Its like some Shakespeare level of complex irony, but only unintentional to the point of absurd when you think about.

I just can't think of another product anywhere close to what WWE produces where the fans are basically screaming for it to be successful, want it to be successful, are in some cases, begging for it be successful and the formula on how to do it is right in front of them, and everyone is kicking the answer to them only to watch WWE say, "nope. gently caress you, here buy this John Cena T-shirt" over and over again.

I really don't know why I'm still a WWE fan, I really don't, but I'll continue to watch it because I always know where to find it and watch it, every single loving week...

Sorry, went kind of on a tangent there...

I actually kind of like Rybaxel as a tag team. Neither of them are very interesting on their own, but they have a great bully/toadie dynamic with each other, and the story of how they got together as Abandoned Heyman Guys makes sense. Just keep them out of singles action and I'm cool with it. It's a good way to improve without getting a major spotlight push.

If they learned some cool tag in turnbuckle power moves nobody could stop them. Why don't tag teams have spots like those anymore?

Blooming Brilliant

They where doing a few in the build up to TLC which where fun, and I remember during the Heyman feud where they tagged up against Punk they did some good looking tag moves together.

Agreeing with the Rybaxel love, they work surprisingly well together along with a fun dynamic between the two of them. Plus it keeps Ryback from straight out murdering dudes in singles. I'd say with the many tag team break up teases they're running at the moment Rybaxel honestly has a chance at a title run and I'd be fine with that.

As social justice Tumblrs go, it's pretty tame and consistently highlights some really hosed up social issues with Twitter.

It's especially tame if you've ever read some of the blogs in the PYF thread that claim things like "all PIV sex is rape", or "this TV show is triggering by exclusion because it doesn't have rape in it".
