Impact > WWE at Controlling Twitter Accounts

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Of their talent anyway.

Seriously look at any account run by a current Impact wrestler. There is a good chance their most recent tweet is a generic tweet praising Impact or telling fans to watch something Impact related. Mindless shilling is of course a staple of Twitter, but at least most people vary it up a little. Like, “Here’s a picture of me eating pizza.” Not a necessary thing to make public at all, but at least something different.

Seriously these accounts are as dull as dishwater.

Haha Abyss's account was so pathetic, he basically was a tna shill.
He looked like a fake bot account.

He even lost his verified check for a while.

Average TNA guy: eating pizza? Yeah ok Mr Millionaire.

You mean that NONE of them shilled for that hipster pizza place in Ottawa that sponsored their tapings?

Sad.

Why doesn't TNA take over Tout. They could use the help.

Your title implies that Impact is better at it... but the body kinda hints the other way.

Which explains why they handle their private legal matters on said public platform

Some people just aren't entertaining tweeters, but if you're an indie wrestler it's vital you have one to advertise shows you're booked for and shill your merch. Since TNA wrestlers basically are indie workers, they have to serve the dual masters of both aggressively shilling Impact every week because the company takes control of twitter accounts, and advertise their other bookings to help build their brands up for the maybe one day chance to get out of that hellhole. It's not an enviable position at goddamn all. One of the minor perks to being in WWE probably: they don't need to shill because WWE's marketing machine is stronger than any wrestler's twitter could ever be, so they get to use it much more casually.

TNA/Impact/SlamForce or whatever the next name will be, they keep it generic for the reason that there's no use in trying to tie in storylines with it. Stuff gets filmed so far in advance, they can be arbitrary about how they choose to show it, and trying to kayfabe it would just be a baffling undertaking.

In some ways, I hope so.
