.........Normally, I'm against giving any attention to this living trainwreck of a human being, but.....touche, Sheen. You got paid, probably up front, to be their "social media ambassador", which is so not a thing that I'm pretty sure those words loose all meaning when assembled in that order, and then SHUTS DOWN his main form of social media. .....Fantastic. They couldn't be stupid enough to pay Charlie Sheen up front... could they? Be fair, WWE's done WAY dumber things. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Vince goes into full on drooling idiot mode when he sniffs a celebrity and a chance to get within sniffing distance of mainstream acceptance.

I'd bet that if they hadn't, some people would be complaining that WWE is behind the times by NOT using social media to their advantage. I'd rather that than "TWITTER! TWITTER! TRENDING! TRENDING! TWITTER!" I agree that they do go WAY overboard with it from what little of the shows I watch (basically just pick and choose from YouTube). But that's the only issue I think most people seem to have with it, that they shove it down people's throats. I don't think most people are against the general idea of WWE promoting themselves through social media.

But I hate how they go about promoting this sort of stuff. Why they think they need to nail it into our skulls, I don't know, and they do it all the time.

The problem I have with it is that it's just WWE working overtime to expound it's greatness in the mainstream. They're trying to use their viewers to get, say, Brodus Clay on a trending list on Twitter for five minutes, a meaningless accomplishment that means nothing by the next day. Instead of using that time to focus on the show itself, they're more concerned about appearing legit and popular and relevant in mainstream entertainment so that they can then brag about it to their viewers.
It's the equivalent of watching Breaking Bad, only to have Gus put down the box cutter to tell Walt and Jesse that Los Pollos Hermanos is TRENDING!

They'd be smart about contracts, especially for someone so wildly prone to f***ing up, running away, and throwing around crap in the media. Vince is terrible when it comes to booking a show or storylines or things like that, but he's not a complete idiot business-wise.

It's nothing like that.

Why the hell would Charlie Sheen do that? That sounds like throwing money down the toilet for no goddamn reason.

Oh no. Oh no no no. This is going to lead to a "hilarious" Charlie Sheen impersonator on Raw, isn't it? Vindictive Vince is the lamest Vince of them all. I didn't even think about that. Knowing Vince, I'd be more surprised if he DIDN'T do this. Charlie Sheen's brother Emelio Estevez isn't busy is he?

For as much as they've been promoting that every week, that's hilarious.

Dude, give me the password to Sheen's account and I'll post barely legible nonsense for three hours during the show, for his pay of course.
