The wrestling world mourned the loss of legendary figure Ole Anderson. Meanwhile, Brooks Jensen apologized for wearing an Ole Anderson shirt after learning about his racist allegations, but he still got backlash and this prompted him to take a sabbatical from social media.
Brooks Jensen paid tribute to Ole Anderson, who recently passed away, by wearing a shirt with Ole’s image and name. However, Jensen faced criticism as Ole had been accused of racism.

He emphasized his stance against racism, hate, or bullying, stating that while he respected Ole for his wrestling, he was unaware of the associated allegations at the time.

”Guys after everything that has happened I’m gonna take a break from social media. Just gotta think on some stuff… Thank you for the love and support #WWENXT”
Brooks Jensen did what he felt was the right thing to do for his mental health but there are many fans who feel the whole order was overblown for no good reason. Nevertheless, Jensen won’t be back on social media anytime soon.
