5 Reasons social media and the internet are bad for pro wrestling, and 5 reasons they are good

The Rusev Day phenomenon has its birthplace on social media like Twitter.

Good for wrestling: The voices of the fans are heard loud and clear

The Rusev Day phenomenon is a great example of how social media can aid wrestlers and wrestling in general. Rusev had been shuffled around the lower mid-card for some time and had been seemingly forgotten by WWE creative. Then the Bulgarian Brute took to the internet, and his tongue-in-cheek declarations of Rusev Day went viral.

Now Rusev is one of the top merchandise sellers in WWE, and he seems to be getting a renewed push with the company, all because the fans have spoken.
