Guy from Kings of Leon learns not to come for pro wrestling fans on Twitter
Pro wrestling: Folks who love it really love it, while folks who don't like it love to look down on it.
The latest to illustrate this dynamic is Kings of Leon bassist Jared Followhill, who got shouted down by pro wrestling fans on Twitter in pretty hilarious fashion after sharing a snide thought on Sunday night.
Here was Jared, innocently idling away a Sunday night when he had a thought: Pro wrestling. What's up with that? So Jared shared his thought on the good ol' global town square.

And this is us moving along now. But we're drawn again to Victor's question from earlier: Did this go how you thought it would, Jared?
