Lio Rush found himself in the middle of controversy after posting a tribute to Hulk Hoganbut hes not walking it back. The AEW star addressed the criticism head-on, responding to those who slammed him for showing respect following Hogans death.
Rush originally took to social media shortly after the WWE Hall of Famer passed away and shared a message that acknowledged Hogans legacy without ignoring the imagery that defined his career.
The post quickly drew criticism from users who referenced Hogans past racist remarks. Instead of deleting the post or apologizing, Rush followed up with a second statement, making it clear he wouldnt be joining in on the negativity.
He closed by pointing out how deep Hogans impact ran, even for those now choosing to focus only on his flaws.
Rushs decision to stay respectful while still acknowledging the complex legacy has added to the ongoing discussion surrounding Hogans death.
