During the 2022 Oscars ceremony, Chris Rock made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head which led to her husband Will Smith walking up to the stage and slapping Rock.
Several wrestling personalities commented on the incident via Twitter:
Mick Foley: “Chris Rock no-selling Will’s offense like he was Billy Gunn during a TV loss!”
MJF: “I can’t believe Wardlow told Will to do that.”
Don Callis: “If you are an entertainer and plan to make a Will Smith – Chris Rock joke this week….for goodness sake have some self respect and be more creative. That sort of lame sad blather is why Late night talk shows died years ago. Creative black hole.”
Mark Henry also tweeted the following:
Looks like there’s been enough talk! https://t.co/JJVf6YNBPk
