Rick Steiner Removed from WrestleCon Again
Rick Steiner is once again banned from WrestleCon, after briefly being reinstated recently.
Steiner was removed from WrestleCon during WrestleMania weekend this year after he directed derogatory and transphobic remarks at Impact Wrestling Star Gisele Shaw but was recently announced to be returning to an upcoming WrestleCon event in Detroit.
WrestleCon officials said they invited Steiner back because they initially had no official code of conduct requirements that they can hold talent to, and that Steiner made an immediate apology to anyone who would hear him out during the event.
After speaking with representatives from LGBTQ support groups and learning of the lasting effects of Steiner’s comments, WrestleCon officials decided they would only move forward with Steiner’s return to the event if he made a public apology for everyone to see, within 24 hours.
Steiner did not make that public apology, and therefore will no longer be appearing at WrestleCon. In addition, WrestleCon has drafted an initial Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy that convention performers must adhere to.
WrestleCon has also partnered in solidarity with other Wrestling industry Convention leaders, notably Starrcast, Wrestlecade, and The Gathering (Charlotte Fanfest) who also agree to adopt and adhere to a similar code of conduct for their events.
