The retired professional wrestler took to Facebook to announce his departure. "I decided I needed a @twitter break, since the new ownership — and the misinformation and hate it seems to be encourageing — has my stomach in a knot," he wrote. "I really do enjoy connecting with all of you on social media, but it can get overwhelming sometimes. I think I'll be back on in a few weeks, but in the meantime, I will continue to post on Facebook and Instagram. I hope all of you will be kind to one another. Please vote if you can too — our democracy seems to be hanging on by a thread."
