Rick Steiner’s Transphobic WrestleCon Rant About Gisele Shaw Covered By Atlanta Media

WrestleCon banned Rick Steiner after he allegedly hurled transphobic slurs at Impact Wrestling star Gisele Shaw.

The story was covered by a news station in Atlanta as 11 Alive News reported the incident, which Shaw later revealed in a Twitter post over the weekend.

Steiner is a member of the local school board in Cherokee County, Georgia which is the reason behind the Atlanta news station’s coverage of the bitter incident.

Steiner refused multiple requests to comment on the story and the school couldn’t issue a statement due to Spring Break.

Shaw had multiple witnesses in Impact referee Daniel Spencer alongside on-air Impact personality Gia Miller, both of whom supported Shaw’s allegations.

WrestleCon informed Steiner on Saturday that he would not be allowed to enter or partake in the remaining WrestleCon events.
