FTR, and especially Dax, are complete asses on Twitter. As likeable as they can be in the ring they definitely aren't out of it.

I often wonder how much of it is shtick, since they aren't shy about playing into the character of pissy old-schoolers, but I also don't know how much of that is the real them.

I also find tweets like this annoying. I don't see it as any different than folks just saying the media always lies and everything is fake news. If there's something reported you'd like to dispute, just do so. It's especially shitty because it's the journalists he's shitting on now who reported about the time he and his co-workers were being held on an air strip by armed guards for a foreign government after his boss pissed them off and fled the country. Shit that the company then tried to set some of them up over to try and undermine their credibility about the very real danger they were in! Of all the people to pull this. Just be an adult and set the record straight on something, don't vaguepost like a moody teenager.

Do it long enough, and it gets to a point where that doesn't matter.

These past few years have made me really hate the cryptic Twitter posts from wrestlers.
And to me, this stuff the majority of time backfires on the wrestler. And it makes them a lot less likable. It doesn’t make me want them on TV more. And I say that as a fan of their in ring work. And yeah, I wish they were on tv more too. But nothing makes me root for them less than whining on Twitter.

I think it kind of says a lot that the most likable FTR has ever come off involved one of them suckerpunching a guy.

I have not been that bothered by FTR being dicks on social media but for someone who used feminist talking points to get his 8yo daughter over in a wrestling angle it isn't a great look to just trample on a compliment to a woman like that You guys arrived in AEW as ex WWE talents. Absolutely nothing organic about your crowd reactions now. Or is he thirsty for a compliment on his NXT work years ago? Gross behaviour, Dax. Gross

I’m pretty sure I’ve already called these two clowns in this thread but man, what a pair of absolute clowns.

Gross I'm not quite willing to shit that hard on him yet, because I'm old and know it can be difficult to catch up to current social thought, but even with me feeling that way, even I feel like FTR has learned some of the worst lessons from Punk (don't think I don't notice what colors you've got on that "Written in the Stars" T-shirt, FTR)...

They have three championships and are currently feuding with The Ass Boys. I have no idea what FTR are so upset about.

I feel like FTR are like a Dudley Boyz situation were one guy is cool and one guy is annoying. People say that “FTR are whining again” when 99% of the time it’s just Dax. Cash seems to keep to himself and causes no drama.
I don’t even entirely disagree with them being unhappy. They were getting top 3 biggest pops in the company months ago and their reward was to do hardly anything with them. They weren’t booked on 3 of the 4 main PPVs of the year and Tony recently said he pictures them being a big part of ROH’s future which can’t be a good sign if it’s going to be like the past 6-9 months and they end up practically irrelevant on the mainstream show and they only really get to show what they can do in front of smaller crowds on far less watched ROH shows.
It gets to a point though when I stop having sympathy. FTR and Miro are starting to sound like a Dolph Ziggler or Zack Ryder a few years back always complaining on Twitter. At first I was on their side and agreed they deserved more TV time but eventually it gets tiring hearing someone whine all the time.

I know nobody is actually going to do it, but if I could offer some advice that will make enjoying wrestling WAY easier...
Stay away from wrestling social media.
I left Twitter altogether, and stopped following any wrestlers on everything else. It has been an absolute joy for me.
I can now just enjoy shows when I watch them without thinking or worrying about what one of them is saying in their free time. It's absolutely wonderful. Almost like it used to be when I first became a fan.
