Chelsea Green spoke out after her recent comments about Hulk Hogan drew criticism.
Hogan unexpectedly died on Thursday morning, and the pro wrestling world reacted by sharing their feelings about the pro wrestling legend. Many spoke about how many good memories of Hogan they had, while others still remember Hogan’s lack of accountability for his racist remarks from several years ago.
WWE Superstars spoke to the media about Hogan’s impact on the pro wrestling business. This included Chelsea Green, who spoke with CBS News 24/7 about Hogan’s legacy. Green spoke about his cultural impact on the wrestling business, but also didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room.
“Polarizing political views aside, he was an absolute icon,” Green began.
Green also issued a statement on Twitter/X where she addressed Hogan’s status. Once again, she acknowledged Hogan’s shortcomings but praised him as an icon in pro wrestling.
“Political views aside, Hulk Hogan’s influence on the wrestling world was clearly undeniable. He inspired millions and shaped an entire generation of fans, my husband included. We are mourning the loss of an icon… a legend. My love goes out to his family,” Green wrote in a now-deleted Twitter/X post.

Some felt that Green shouldn’t speak out in “support” of Hogan due to his racist remarks and links to Donald Trump, while she was a big advocate of the LGBTQ+ community.

Green says she tried to acknowledge Hogan’s death in a respectful way, but still doesn’t condone racism.
