WWE Superstar issues apology after recent controversy
A WWE Superstar has apologized for wearing an Ole Anderson shirt on social media today. Ole Anderson passed away last month at the age of 81.
WWE NXT star Brooks Jensen found himself in hot water recently after sporting an Anderson shirt after he had been accused of racism. Jensen was trying to pay tribute to the veteran but took to social media to apologize for his actions. He noted that he was unaware of the allegations when he wore the shirt. Jensen added that he will learn from this experience in his post seen below.
"I will never support any racism, hate, or bullying. While I respected Ole for his wrestling it was news to me after wearing the tshirt that he was associated with these allegation's. Ive noticed my "looks" and where I'm from are frequently stigmatized with the underbelly of our society (i.e racists) but this mullet just likes to give love and party. My apologies to anyone who knew the allegations prior and were offended by the shirt. I'm learning and this was noted," he wrote.
Former WWE writer reacts to talent being frustrated with The Rock
The Rock has returned to WWE television and has been cursing up a storm during recent appearances.
A report has come out that suggests that some talent are upset with the double standard of The Great One getting to use curse words on TV and social media, but they are not allowed to do the same.
Speaking on this week's edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW, Vince Russo reacted to Cody Rhodes cursing on live TV during last night's episode of WWE RAW and wondered if the promotion could still get away with a PG rating.
"I'm like, 'Wait a minute guys, did I not say this 20 years ago?' Did I not say 20 years ago they were nowhere near the PG-13 line? Now, all of a sudden when Rock comes in and breaks the rule, now, we can all cuss under the same rating?" [2:22 onwards]
