I have a friend of mine that regularly tweets to WWE wrestlers and has been banned by them for whatever reasons. I saw a friend of his say that WWE actually runs those accounts so that it's WWE that is to blame for him getting banned. Is their any truth to this? It seems like it'd be too much work to hire people to tweet as if they were Paige or Big E all day.

I think i'm going to have to ask the hot question on everybody's lips and say what did he Tweet them to get blocked?

No, almost everyone in WWE runs their own Twitter account (Paige and Big E for example).
The only ones who have a Twitter account but don't run it themselves is Brock Lesnar, I believe. He hardly tweets.

I don't know. I know he's bragged about being blocked by several wrestlers.

WWE runs some, like Vince and Lesnars, and maybe a few others, but the majority are run by the wrestlers themselves. Do you think WWE could come up with some of the things Big E or Kevin Owens tweet?

Yeah, most of the wrestlers have control of their accounts, though WWE does have access in case of emergency, like a hacking or Seth Rollins incident.

If I contact WWE Twitter HQ will they tell me why the f*** Tony Schiavnoe blocked me on Twitter? This is a mystery that will haunt me until my dying day.

I know Ambrose probably runs his Twitter since there are no tweets there.
(He may have deleted the ones that had to do with that aborted Mick Foley feud)

Does your friend believe that the original Ultimate Warrior died because his head exploded from too much steroids and cocaine?

Yeah, they mostly run their own accounts. If the wrestlers blocked him, he prolly deserved it.

Yeah, if he's bragging about getting blocked I'm guessing he wasn't saying the kindest things to them.
Of course, there are a couple of wrestlers that will block you over small stuff (Goldust for instance).

Some of the wrestlers do not like reading nasty tweets.

And Lord knows I'm a huge WCW fanboy, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

As has been said, the wrestlers run their own Twitter accounts. The Facebook official accounts are a bit of a grey area though, I think that's more run by WWE employees.

I got blocked by Blaster McMassive for suggesting he did not share the profits of the Sidney Bakabella Memorial shirts with Sidney.

The only person who's blocked me (who i'm aware of anyway) is Scott Armstrong because he can't take a joke. I can't even remember what it was about but it was something ridiculously tongue in cheek. Anyway, i've never been a fan of his anyway so I was glad he wouldn't be popping up on my feed again!

The accounts are real. I've been called a nerd by Curtis Axel because I tweeted his win-loss record last year. Fandango thought my tweet was cool. Natalya & Adam Rose follow me because they like my tweets about their win-loss records. And Mojo Rawley wanted to know if I had any stats about what clubs the hot chicks hang out in. Kyle Edwards likes my stats. And referees Scott Armstrong & John Cone follow me and respond when I have a referee-related question.
