You can debut a new star by having him stalk a wrestlers facebook.

TNA does it and it reeks of desperation trying to act hip.

Why dont you just use twitter and not say anything creepy?

Brigstocke 02-11-2011 05:16 PM

I legit spoke to Chubby Brown once.

I played Simpsons trivia on AIM chat with the TV geek from Beat the Geeks. Beat em.

Did you guys know John Morrison and Lacey Von Erich are in a relationship with each other?

Skippord 02-11-2011 06:51 PM

do John Morrison and Lacey Von Erich know they are in a relationship with each other?

RGWhat316 02-11-2011 07:10 PM

I added Jamie Keys and the ring announcer Ashley Valance as their real names. But never really messaged them, but Jamie's pic shows up that I could message here though. Usually even if celebs have a real one, they usually arent available to chat.

Xero 02-11-2011 07:19 PM

Do you realize how big of a creep you're coming off as in this thread?

Wasn't that Zack Ryder's gimmick for a while?

WWE Superstars on Facebook
 
OK, so The Rock gave out the address of his Facebook account on Raw. But what's also super cool is that a few of his "friends" on FB are also WWE Superstars and when I friended them they accepted my friend request. Then from there, I was able to reach the FB profiles of several other WWE Superstars and they, too, accepted my friend request.

Now, I'm not saying I have a whole bunch of new best friends, or that I'll be having lunch with any of them, or anything like that. But when I came here a few days ago and said I was thinking of trying to contact the WWE Superstars on Facebook, you guys mocked me as if it couldn't be done or as if any and all FB profiles of them are fakes. Well, I guess you were wrong.

Just thought you should know, in case of you want to try to contact them, as well.

Xero 02-16-2011 07:53 PM

Why are you obsessed with this?

CSL 02-16-2011 07:58 PM

Any old clown can click 'Like' on his official account. Including the thousands of mutants that pretend to be WWE guys and live vicariously through . They're everywhere.

itsmeJD 02-16-2011 08:01 PM

I just reread this thread, and no one mocked you because they didn't think it was possible. They mocked you because you sounded creepy as fuck agonizing about whether or not to contact a wrestler on their facebook page. There were a few posters who mentioned fake accounts but even YOU admitted you knew there were thousands of fake accounts so really you didn't prove anything and come off sounding even more creepy and lame. The end result is you proved no one wrong because there was no one to prove wrong. You basically did what I'm sure thousands of other WWE fans did after the Rock gave his shit out on RAW. Congrats on whatever it is you felt you were proving, which turned out to be nothing.

Juan 02-16-2011 08:02 PM

Don't really get why you thought this deserved another thread.

Supreme Olajuwon 02-16-2011 08:08 PM

It was weird before. Now it's creepy.

CSL 02-16-2011 08:19 PM

Most guys that actually have pages set up for the intention of 'interacting', like The Rock's, are set as fan pages where you just have to click 'Like'. Bret, HBK, Scott Norton (:cool:) and others do this. If you find an account that you need to send a friend request to, 99.7% of the time it's going to be fake and run by some 13 year old hoping people like yourself will believe. I don't know how you and so many others fail to see this.

Xero 02-16-2011 08:44 PM

And let's face it, the ones that do set up real accounts aren't open for the public to find. They're private. They probably have one real account and one "business" account, if they care about having a real account at all.

I see what you're saying, and yeah, there are TONS of FAKES out there so of course its natural to be skeptical. But see, the thing is, someone I used to work out here in RI has a couple of friends who work backstage or in the office at WWE, and those people he's friends with who work for WWE are friends with a couple of Superstars. So, one thing leads to another, and its fairly easy for me to see whose legit on FB and who isn't.

Why do I care? Why am I doing this? Well really, it's just a test to see which ones accept my friend request, which ones respond to the note I send them, which ones do both, and which ones do neither. Mark Henry, for instance, has done neither, but that's no big loss.

Silk Stalkings: Providence Peep

Juan 02-16-2011 08:59 PM

Get a job, creep.

Providence Peep 02-16-2011 09:03 PM

As if none of you would do the same thing I thing if you knew which profiles were legit.

CSL 02-16-2011 09:06 PM

It's really not hard to work out which profiles are legit and which aren't bro.

Xero 02-16-2011 09:06 PM

I would not do that, because I am not their friend.

OK, so every fan who tries to contact a WWE Superstar on FB is a stalker?

Lara Emily 02-16-2011 09:11 PM

Yah pretty much I don't go around adding people who I've never interacted with in my life just because they're famous. It's fucking creepy and your obsession with it is even creepier.

Providence Peep 02-16-2011 09:13 PM

If a more established, well-liked TPWW poster were doing it, you guys would think it's great. Whatever.

Xero 02-16-2011 09:18 PM

Kris P. Lettus probably does it.

Xero 02-16-2011 09:21 PM

There's a big difference between liking something, or friending a promotional account and digging around to find someone's real Facebook account, going as far as friending someone who works for the company and sneak around in their friend list.

CSL 02-16-2011 09:25 PM

Some of you are definitely shitting on him a bit, one of the points of social networking is to meet new people (bit broad I know when it comes to 'celebs' I know) and these guys who make their profiles easy to find wouldn't have them if they cared that much about fans and random people messaging them. And if somebody wants to try and get a response from a famous wrestler, let them get on with it. It's 'not for me' but if somebody else wants to, knock yourself out. You'd never catch somebody giving somebody shit for tweeting Chris Jericho. In fact I think I remember Xero letting people know that Tazz had responded to one of this tweets not long ago. No different. I think your main problem here is that you've kind of come across as creepy from the get-go with the worrying about being a stalker etc.

You dig Peter?

Xero 02-16-2011 09:29 PM

Difference between tweeting someone like Tazz on a public, largely known account and searching for his private twitter account that only his friends and family know of. That's the problem I have with it. It's cool to contact them and talk with them, through the right channels. It's like the difference between meeting CM Punk in the bathroom at a restaurant and passing him in a car and following him to his hotel.
