What if Twitter, via 90s technology, existed way back in Attitude Era? What it change anything?
Also, would wrestling talent be using Twitter like they do today?
I imagine such events such as Great American Bash 2000 would get a lot of buzz.

90s? Chaotic.
The 80s? Give Heel Piper twitter. Twitter will be shut down in 24 hours.

My thing is the dynamic of fans from WCW, WWF, and even ECW.
I can see a lot of ECW fans shitting on Mike Awesome.

Bubba Ray's ECW twitter would have been a sight to behold.
NWO member twitter accounts would have become like, full of fans forming real online brigade-gangs and clubs.
Billy Gunn would just post asses all day.

Considering his normal modern twitter usage, Goldust would have found himself absolutely unemployable by 2000.

Bubba Ray's ECW twitter would have been a sight to behold. Good lord yes. Him, Devon & Gertner would have melted the internet.

90s? Chaotic. The 80s? Give Heel Piper twitter. Twitter will be shut down in 24 hours. God, the idea of 80's Piper going full kayfabe on social media sounds incredible.

Shawn at his absolute cocaine-fueled worst might have forced the entire service to shut down before they gained any traction.

So happy it wasn't. There was an IWC then, but they weren't nearly as relentlessly negative as they are now. Of course, that probably was because they were getting a better show every week. Oh sure, there was the "(Blank) should be getting pushed instead of (Blank)" posts, but let's put it this way....Hate Watching wasn't a thing in 1998. If people didn't like WWE's product, they just simply....watched something else (most likely Nitro).
