WrestleCon reversed its decision to invite WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner to its showcase next month as the pro wrestling world focuses its attention on SummerSlam in Detroit.
The wrestling convention initially decided to reinvite Steiner to its show months after Steiner was accused of using "hateful phrases" toward transgender female pro wrestler Gisele Shaw.
WrestleCon owner Michael Bochicchio made the reversal Sunday and explained that Steiner apologized after the incident and that he felt like the former wrestler "learned a lot from his huge mistake."
WrestleCon backtracked on its invitation.
"When we allowed Rick Steiner to return to our Convention as a vendor guest of Tony Hunter Promotions, we did not adequately take into account the impact his past words from our last event still held in the LGBTQIA+ community," Bochicchio wrote on Twitter.

Steiner.
Downfall parody soon to follow.
I doubt he’s afraid of trans. Perhaps trans disgust might be more appropriate?
This is bad news for a bunch of obese,middle age guys who wear flip flops and bathe irregularly.
It would be.
You WILL accept the new religion of trans, and you WILL say that men can be women, and that there is no definition of woman or you WILL lose your source of income.
Far worse than George Orwell imagined.
Seems appropriate that a fake spectacle like professional wrestling would support the transgendered.
Right l hate the hijacked language.
So pro wrestling is a soft sport, in addition to being phony theater?
Transnauseous?
I’m sick of the whole nonsense.
When your product is fake, everything turns to crap.
A fake is a fake. His invitation to the “hall of Fame,” was merely, a fake.
Trannies will still need their own league.
So, If I see a man dressed as a girl and call him a man, I am doing hate speech?
If I see a really fat man (Crispy Creame) and call him a fat woman, is that hate speech?
I did learn the hard way not to refer to myself and coworker as “the help” She was offended. I didn’t know that help is racist. So all those help wanted signs are racist. Maybe thats why gangs have more members. Help wanted is racist. /s
If the WWF got rid of every wrestler who was in someone way offensive they would have exactly zero wrestlers
Good, he and his brother Scott were horrible people in the wrestling industry.
So the WWE is Heterophobic?
If there was ever a logical indicator of the “end of days”, it is the WWE going woke...
NFL...Yawn...
MLB...Yawn...
Noosecar...Yawn...
USMC...Yikes...
WWE...Yikes...
Isn’t this the same organization that gave us “The Adorable Adrian Adonis”?
