Eli Drake Criticizes Online Twitter Feuds: ‘Don’t Forget Where Your Bread Is Buttered’

– Eli Drake took exception to wrestlers spending too much time focusing on their Twitter feuds and not saving it for TV on the microphone. You can read the Twitter rant from Eli Drake on the subject below.

Drake wrote, “Everybody working overtime with their wrestling twitter ‘feuds.’ If I’ve got something to say about an opponent, trust I’ll say it on a microphone. Twitter doesn’t pay me. Why would anybody watch on TV if they can tune into Twitter? Don’t forget where your bread is buttered.”

Later, he also added, “Occasional fans are likely not following those accounts anyway. Over-saturation leaves no anticipation of what might be said next week, especially when the uncensored Twitter ‘promos’ are better than the verbal delivery on the TV product.”

Fair point. However, employers change while twitter accounts stay the same. A following that spans across platforms is a good bargaining chip negotiating contracts. And worth it's weight in gold. So Like Comment Subscribe Retweet and Follow is the song we sing.

Of course. Promote your shows, grow your brand, interact with the fans, but if I keep sending food to your home free of charge, why would you leave to go pick up that same food at the grocery store??
