We’re many years removed from the Monday Night Wars era, but former stars from that era are still making their voices heard on social media. Recently former WCW TV Champion Disco took to Twitter to criticize the current generation by saying that no one knows how to work.
Nobody knows how to "work" anymore. They would rather kill each other to get @davemeltzerWON to put their match over. That is a problem that needs to be put front and center. Guys are going to keep getting hurt. https://t.co/NTwFopHlDR

The comment was in response to a picture of a bloody Cody Rhodes that was posted on social media, and that’s why Cody decided to enter the conversation.
Cody responded by telling Disco that he knows nothing, and he’s drawn “0 dollars” throughout the course of his career.
Stop. You know nothing. You have drawn 0 dollars. No fan has ever left a show thinking about you. You were lucky to be a juiced up double-lifer "over with the boys" type in an era where you hid in plain sight coasting on others' success. Couldn't hang then, can't get booked now. https://t.co/0kiDAgyhlT

I take no pride in ending that man's career w/a single tweet…but this whole "they're doing it wrong…I know how to do it right…they're exposing the business…"
That logic itself is exposing the business. Don't let the bitter have a place in our world.
Conversation is done

Former WCW star Konnan also entered the conversation to share his two cents.
u keep driving this erroneous narrative that everyone is just trying to get over with Dave, did it ever occur to you they are trying to get over with the fans? How they work today is different than how we worked..#Getoffmylawn

not every match has to tell a story and yes it is a declining art..nobody goes out to injure themselves, high risk moves come with a price and a lot of people are willing to pay that price to be break out from the rest of the pack..

The business has changed there’s no denying that. But it appears that whether or not it’s changed for the better is a topic that’s always up for debate.
