Hulk Hogan passed away on Thursday, aged 71, breaking the hearts of millions of pro wrestling fans worldwide. However, given past allegations of racism and his political affiliation, some people have actually been celebrating the two-time WWE Hall of Famer’s passing on social media.
And now, after Chelsea Green said “polarizing political views aside, he was an absolute icon” during an interview with CBS News 24/7, the WWE star has been forced to address fan backlash on X, issuing a tweet that states she does not condone racism and was trying to acknowledge Hogan’s death respectfully.
Some fans consider Hulk Hogan the greatest thing to ever happen to pro wrestling, while plenty of others consider him professionally and personally awful. Therefore, his death was always going to cause unrest, with social media being the home of toxicity nowadays. Still it’s disappointing that someone as unproblematic as Green has been bullied into effectively apologizing for just trying to stay classy.
