Shane Helms Criticized for Comparing Raw to WCW Thunder

Former WWE star and current TNA producer Shane Helms posted a Tweet during Raw last night that garnered him some heat on social media. The following is what Helms had to say:

@KingRicochet Bro. It’s WCW Thunder bad. And I would know.

If I speak good of TNA, I’m a suck up. If I speak bad, I’m a bad employee.

If I speak good of WWE, I’m kissing ass, if I speak bad, I’m bitter.

Got in the biz in 1988, first match was in 1991. Never did backyard or trampoline shit. Paid dues that I’d never wish on today’s youngsters.

I’ve EARNED my opinion. And keep in mind most of the “bad” opinions are said in jest or in a roasting manner. That’s my personality.

People that actually know me know that. That’s actually how the whole “Hurri-PopUp” gimmick came about.

So lighten up Twitizens. I’m just like this in real life. I don’t have a social media persona. And I ain’t gonna change.
