Disco Inferno comes under fire for his critiques

Three-time WWE tag champ and current AEW star Dax Harwood has hit back at criticisms levied by Disco Inferno.

Harwood's tag team, FTR, came under criticism from the WCW veteran during an episode of Keepin' it 100, where Disco bemoaned a lack of story in the clashes between the ROH tag champs and the Briscoes. In his criticism, he quipped that the former WWE stars were looking to cement a legacy of matches rated highly by Dave Meltzer.

Not one to shy away from a Twitter spat, Dax retorted with a jibe at Disco's own legacy, jokingly referring to the veteran as a Hall of Famer.

"The HOF'er Disco Inferno said I don't punch, I'm a thigh slapper, and I wrestle my matches for Meltzer," Dax tweeted.

The AEW star went further to post a clip of his battle with the Briscoes, where he engages in a stiff exchange with Jay Briscoe, more than likely in defiance of the claim that he didn't punch. Harwood captioned the clip by saying, "I will take his advice and work to be better."

Where did fans stand on the former WWE star's retort?
