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

Good for wrestling: Wrestlers can acknowledge and praise each other, even if they work for different companies

John Cena turned heads when he praised Kenny Omega on social media.

Did you know that WCW once used separate entrances for the heels and faces? This was to keep kayfabe alive.

Another way wrestlers kept kayfabe alive was not acknowledging any other wrestler from a competing promotion. Though Ric Flair may have been impressed with Macho Man's performance at Wrestlemania III, he could never dare to say so in public.

These days, while wrestlers are often forbidden from mentioning by name stars from other promotions, they are usually free to post such things on the internet. John Cena may have single-handedly increased the net worth of Kenny Omega with one simple tweet.
