Jerry Lynn: I’ve Seen Guys Have Bloody Deathmatches & Then An Hour Later, They’re Posting On Social Media, ‘Thanks For The Match Bro… Much Love’

The pros and cons of social media being used by talents.

Guest appearing on an episode of Monte & The Pharaoh was AEW coach Jerry Lynn. A conversation was struck up about the use of social media by the current generation of wrestlers.

Lynn spoke about the pros and cons of it, and below are his full comments:

“I say if you’re gonna use it, use it that way. Use it to help further an angle or a storyline,” Lynn said about wrestlers using social media. “I know the curtain’s pulled wide open. I think we should be trying to close it. I have seen guys have bloody deathmatches, and then an hour later, they’re posting on there, ‘Thanks for the match bro. Much love.’ I’m like, ‘What are you doing!?’ You just tried to kill each other — supposedly tried to kill each other, bled buckets, and you’re thanking each other. ‘Thank you. Love you bro.’ I’d rather have you further the angle and hate each other on social media. That’s me.”

The former ECW World Heavyweight Champion has been a part of AEW since the company’s inception in January 2019.
