It's one thing to watch WWE superstars go at it in the ring, but there's something about them staying completely in character even via social media and getting into Twitter beefs that's just absolutely hilarious.
Take, for example, this Twitter showdown on Wednesday night that ended in a sick burn courtesy of Chris Jericho.
It all started when WWE star Rusev made a dig at on-air commentator Renee Young over a scene on the show "Total Divas" where the two were playing basketball together.
No! @ReneeYoungWWE missed the next shot. 0$ for her. She is surprisingly good tho...... for a CANADIAN A!!!

This then escalated into an argument between Young, who is Canadian, and Rusev over Canadians' basketball prowess.

That's when Chris Jericho, who also happens to be from Canada, shut Rusev down with this simple tweet.
7 million Bulgarians. 0 great wrestlers. https://t.co/A93bWxd5O1

Rusev tried to come back with an Andre the Giant reference, which pretty much failed miserably.
Mr wannabe rockstar, give credit to Andre the Giant. He was half Bulgarian. And get a life. You are 62 years old. It's pass your bed time. https://t.co/brZzlr1YRV

Canada: 1, Bulgaria: 0.
