Should Wrestlers be remembered more for what they do in the ring rather than what they say on Twitter? - "Jim Crockett Promotions Fan" - 10-11-2012 10:31 PM
Sheamus noted in a WWE/THQ interview for the "WWE '12" video game that he's a fan of his "Great White" nickname, but he's not a fan of Twitter. On the nickname, Sheamus said, "It's great! I mean, I'm 'great.' I'm 'white.' I'm pasty white. I'm whiter than a bottle of milk. So yeah, it fits me. People seem to like it. It's grand!"
Not so much on Twitter: "I see a lot of guys doing it, but I just don't see the appeal. It's not my thing. You know, I like what I do on Raw or Smackdown to be what people remember me for, not what I say on Twitter. That's what Triple H did, what The Rock and Stone Cold did. Times are changing, but I want people to remember what Sheamus did in the ring as The Celtic Warrior, not some tweet about having a banana sandwich or chocolate milk today."

Who remembers a wrestler for what they say on twitter?...

Yes, they should.
However, in a social world, people say things that are offensive to some, and in a blink of an eye, the whole world knows about it.
Michael Cole jumped on Twitter and made a homophobic slur, and even though within 5 minutes he deleted the tweet, TMZ was all over him. Even though Cole's not a wreslter, he's a pretty good commentator, and people shouldn't remember him for this instance, rather the fact that he has been announcing with the WWE for over a decade.
Same with wrestlers.
