During a TV appearance, Green was asked about Hogan after his passing and subsequently had to clarify her comments on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting Hogan’s past controversies and expressing her firm stance against racism. WWE legend Booker T defended Green on his “Hall of Fame” podcast, suggesting that critics simply want to “cancel” her for speaking honestly. He emphasized Hogan’s undeniable contributions to wrestling while supporting Green’s right to share her views. Booker T praised Green’s journey and resilience in the wrestling industry, pointing out the harsh realities of “cancel culture” on social media today.
