What would the Monday Night Wars have been if there was accessible social media? My go to website was Bill Apter's 1wrestling.com, which was maintained by the same crew who handled Extreme Championship Wrestling's web presence. The reason I found that was because of ECW, so as far as I could tell, straight from the promoters' mouth was the only way to obtain any news. This kept the war limited to TV, so unless a wrestler came on to a Canadian sports program, it was relatively drama free. Neither of the three sides seemed to make it personal, unless there was message boards and newsgroups that talent was actively using. That seemed like too much work to find out.
All Elite Wrestling are more than happy to fulfill the demand for Twitter drama. For the most parts, these guys know how to cut promos, unlike a babyface Rollins. Dominik Dijakovic needs to develop that. Hence why he is NXT, WWE's developmental brand. In a way, his Twitter response to Kenny Omega's interview saying that NXT talent would be doing dark matches or opening the Dynamite program is a fairly valid opinion.
