Chelsea Green announced a social media hiatus this week after her comments on the legacy of the late Hulk Hogan angered some WWE fans to the purpose of Green receiving online death threats. Green was asked about Hogan after his death during a television appearance and needed to pen a lengthy explanation on X (formerly Twitter) following her comments. Green mentioned Hogan’s previous controversies in her statement and said her stance on racism is “unwavering” and she or he doesn’t condone it. WWE legend Booker T got here to Green’s defense on his “Hall of Fame” podcast and said he believes people just wish to “cancel” her.
“They don’t need her to talk the best way she feels, which is saying something that is true,” he said. “The guy had a hell of a profession and his contributions to the business are something that can’t be denied. You understand what I say to Chelsea Green? I say don’t let someone dictate you being on social media or not. In the event that they’re coming at you on social media, do what I do. Block their a**.”
The Hall of Famer commended the previous Women’s United States Champion for her exertions to get where she is today within the business. He said nobody online has walked in Green’s shoes to see what she’s needed to undergo. Booker T further acknowledged “cancel culture” on the planet, especially online, today.
“I do know people today live on this cancel culture to where it’s cool to band together and take a look at and damage someone for speaking their mind. But give it some thought, very rigorously, because you possibly can be that person they’re attempting to cancel someday, too.”
