WWE's Top Tweets, Instagram Photos and Viral Videos for Week of February 2

With how massive of a cultural phenomenon the Super Bowl is, it wasn't surprising to see it dominate the WWE social media landscape.

Deflategate jokes worked their way into a WWE YouTube video and Triple H's Twitter account. This was no one-way relationship, though. WWE slipped into the NFL world as well via the New England Patriots' victory parade and online discussions of the Super Bowl halftime show. 

In preparation for the big game, WWE first looked back on times when the NFL and pro wrestling have overlapped.

The company put together a countdown video of wrestlers who once played in the NFL. The trip back in time is fun, even if the rankings feel random.

How are Mongo and Marcus Cor Von possibly rated above Brian Pillman?

Much of the talk before the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks took the field was about the underinflated balls. While it was an embarrassment for the NFL, it was a gold mine for comedians. Ball jokes were ever-present.

That included one from Triple H after getting off the plane to head to the game:

The Patriots' controversy had the team draw many a comparison to pro wrestling heels. Tom Brady and Co. are brash and disliked by many, and they allegedly used underhanded tactics. Those are all heel trademarks.

WWE played up the idea by offering New England cheating advice. Lana, Dean Ambrose and The Miz gave the eventual Super Bowl winners tips on how to not get caught bending the rules in an amusing video:

At halftime, talk of a past WWE star popped up again and again. 

You couldn't blame Twitter users for having flashbacks. Katy Perry's outfit did look like a tribute to the late Bam Bam Bigelow. Comparisons to Bigelow's flame-covered attire flooded in.

Slim Music was one of many to notice the similarities:

It didn't get past The Iron Sheik either:

The Patriots ended up winning after Malcolm Butler made a game-saving interception. The conversation then shifted from Perry's outfit and lion-riding to Pete Carroll's final play call. Once the Patriots' parade started, WWE found its way into the picture again.

Triple H sent a WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt to the Super Bowl champs. The team's official Twitter account shared a shot of the title being part of the celebration:

The Super Bowl wasn't the only bowl over the weekend. From the Puppy Bowl to the Lingerie Bowl, companies have long offered their own spins on the big game.

That includes the annual eating competition, the Wing Bowl. WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley attempted to outeat a host of competitors, but ultimately, his heel ways came creeping back up.

Foley was disqualified, per ABC News, for stuffing chicken wings into his fanny pack. 

He took it in stride, though. Foley joked about it on Twitter, which inspired a positive message from his old tag team partner:

During his days as Mankind, Foley was easily the eeriest persona on the roster. Erick Rowan is vying for that title today.

A man in a sheep mask is inherently creepy. WWE captured that feeling well in an Instagram photo of him:

Rowan's Team Cena partners were in their own notable photo.

On Thursday's SmackDown, Dolph Ziggler teamed with Ryback. Ziggler had fun with his new partner and played on Ryback's "The Big Guy" nickname:

The Showoff would then get to work, taking on Goldust and Stardust.

That bout was his latest chance to show how skilled he is at kicking people in the head. Though many wrestlers use the superkick today, his is the most stunning.

WWE paid tribute to the move, showcasing everyone from Tamina Snuka to Rusev in a compilation of great superkicks:

Chris Adams, the man who popularized the move before Shawn Michaels made it his signature weapon, was included.

You can't leave out Adams in a celebration of the superkick, just as you can't wear flames on your outfit and not bring up memories of Bigelow headbutting his foes.
