WWE's Top Tweets, Instagram Photos and Viral Videos for Week of Nov. 17

Ryan DilbertNov 21, 2014

Sports and sports entertainment collided in this week's WWE social media hit list.

Hulk Hogan found out which Cleveland Cavaliers were Hulkamaniacs, Dean Ambrose visited an NFL locker room and CM Punk compared himself to Barry Sanders.

The top WWE-related tweets, videos and Instagram photos also saw a former world champ put a hurting on a cameraman. Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton's signature pose and the newest member of R-Truth's family make appearances as well.

Before we dive into the merging of WWE personalities with those from the NBA and NFL, we take a look at a reimagining of a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, courtesy of Chris Jericho:

Hall of Famer Bob Backlund is famous for his time atop WWE, but he was an actor himself. He appeared in In the Land of Merry Misfits. He was far from the wackiest thing in that movie, believe it or not.

Backlund recently ran into the guys from TMZ. He was happy to demonstrate the power of his famous crossface chicken wing hold:

That cameraman now knows what Bret Hart felt at Survivor Series 1994. As for this year's Survivor Series, Ambrose will be looking to leave Bray Wyatt as dejected as The Hitman was that night.

The Lunatic Fringe is apparently already in Survivor Series' host city. The St. Louis Rams Twitter account shared shots of him hanging out in the locker room:

That Ambrose jersey is an odd overlap of worlds. And it's a great Christmas fight for all the St. Louis-based Ambrose fans on your list.

Since St. Louis is Orton's hometown and he's not actually injured, many folks are wondering if he'll make a surprise appearance at the upcoming pay-per-view.

If he doesn't, the closest thing to seeing Orton we would have experienced this week would be a West Virginia football fan doing an excellent impression of him:

The well-bundled fan had to be jealous of seeing how vastly different Rey Mysterio's taking-in-a-game experience was. Mysterio caught his San Diego Chargers in action against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.

MVP took a break from his TNA duties to hang with the high-flyer:

On the other side of the country, The Hulkster made his way to a Cavaliers game. He tried to get the Cleveland fans pumped up.

Whether he succeeded or not, he certainly looked like he had a good time:

Hearing "Real American" always hits the nostalgia nerve, regardless of how one has heard it. Should we hear Punk's music on Raw, count on one of the biggest pops in wrestling history.

That's not happening anytime soon, though. Punk continues to refer to himself as "retired." He did so in a tweet that sums up just how ridiculous it is that some fans have given him a hard time for walking away from the ring:

We haven't seen much of R-Truth on Raw or SmackDown either.

Most recently, that's because he welcomed a baby girl into the world. He tweeted a pic of her and his beaming smile:

Congrats to R-Truth and his family. Hopefully, Little Jimmy doesn't get too jealous.
