Social media has had a huge influence on the pro wrestling industry.

It’s also had a big impact on the wrestlers themselves.

On the latest edition of his What Happened When with Tony Schiavone podcast, the AEW commentator shared his thoughts on the subject.

โ€œI think if you try to direct what youโ€™re doing on an interview or too much online, I think youโ€™re missing the point,โ€ he said. โ€œSo many wrestlers today are motivated by Twitter or by Instagram, and I think itโ€™s wrong.โ€

Schiavone added, โ€œSo, just my opinion and I could be wrong, but I guess thatโ€™s just, thatโ€™s the old man in me right?โ€
