Former WWE Superstar Lance Storm noted on social media that he turned off tonight’s edition of WWE RAW as a way of protesting the show after watching The Ascension’s promo.
Storm made it clear that he took exception to The Ascension mocking the legendary Road Warriors tag-team during their pre-match promo on the show. He mentioned that it wasn’t a nice move to have someone mock a wrestler who has passed away.
Below are some of Storm’s tweets.
Nothing like making fun of a guy who has passed away. #BadTaste #RAW

To be clear because people seem clueless. The Ascension doing a Road Warrior gimmick is not offensive to me. “What a Rush…What a Joke” is

Hey everyone, I Don’t Care about your opinions. I knew Hawk and considered him a friend. Don’t tag me in your thoughts I don’t care!
