Twitter exploded yesterday after Cody Rhodes responded to a post by Disco Inferno on criticisms of the independent wrestling scene.

It all kicked off when a fan with the handle @briantheguppie tweeted a clip from a NJPW match between WIll Ospreay and Marty Scurll.

In the clip, Ospreay appeared to have injured his neck after a botched Spanish Fly. He was originally told he wasn’t able to compete during ‘WrestleMania’ week in New Orleans, but he has since confirmed he will be.

This tweet led to Disco Inferno getting involved. Here, Inferno claimed he has spoken before on the epidemic of the lack of common sense for injury prevention on the independent circuit.

Another fan with the handle @Uncensored_WWE tweeted a photo of Rhodes with a slight cut over his left eye after Rhodes had taken a nasty kick from former IWGP United States Champion Kenny Omega.

This led to Inferno responding by saying that nobody knows how to “work” anymore and focus on just getting their matches over with Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

This is where things would escalate to a whole new level. Rhodes took notice of the tweet due to fans tagging him. Let his response speak for itself.

A few hours later, Rhodes would follow that tweet up with another, explaining that he takes no pride in what he said, but he feels Inferno was wrong to make those comments.

Omega also responded to Inferno, claiming he was intending to work for Inforno’s show but has now no intentions of doing so.

If you’re unfamiliar with Inferno, check out a match he had against Saturn back in WCW.
