WrestleCon gives fans an opportunity to meet their heroes and, in the past, has been highly praised by those who have attended. Unfortunately, though, this year’s convention was tarnished due to Rick Steiner harassing Impact Wrestling star and transgender woman Gisele Shaw. According to the Knockout, she was called “a dude,” “filth,” “a piece of trash,” and told to “get the f*ck away from here” by the WWE Hall of Famer. And while Steiner has refused to comment on the incident, his son Bron Breakker has been asked about it during a recent interview.
Filipino wrestler, Shaw trained with Lance Storm and made her in-ring debut in 2015, traveling the world winning championships before signing with Impact Wrestling in January 2022 as “The Quintessential Diva.” Since then, she has been prominently pushed and currently holds victories over names like Lady Frost, Alisha, Deonna Purrazzo, and Rosemary, which lead to her unsuccessfully challenging then Impact Knockouts World Champion Mickie James.
