Disco Inferno has entered the conversation surrounding the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Prettiand his take has led to a lot of backlash.
On January 24, 2026, Disco Inferno took to Twitter with what he called common sense advice, but its already drawing tons of criticism. The shootingcarried out by a Border Patrol agent and now under national scrutinyhas sparked protests, outrage, and demands for justice after reports surfaced that agents may have taken Prettis gun before opening fire.
Instead of condemning the act or calling for accountability like fellow wrestling legend Mick Foley, Disco Inferno doubled down on what many are calling a dangerously tone-deaf opinion.
The backlash was immediatebut Disco wasnt done. He followed up with a tweet that many felt trivialized the tragedy, joking about betting platforms weighing in on the official investigation.
This comes after WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley offered an emotional reaction to the incident. Foley watched the reported footagewhere a federal officer allegedly took Prettis gun before the Border Patrol agent opened fireand posted to Instagram expressing horror and frustration. Foley didnt stop there, demanding accountability and questioning how such tragedies are still happening.
Tensions around the case remain high. The Department of Homeland Security maintains the shooting was self-defense, while Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has rejected that version of events. As protests intensify across the country, Disco Infernos decision to dismiss the public response with mind your business has only added to the outrage.
Discos comments are now under fire from fans, wrestlers, and activists alike, with many calling on him to retract his statementsor at least acknowledge the gravity of the moment. Whether he does or not, one things for sure: his tweets struck a nerve that wont calm down anytime soon.
