Former WWE star switches off TV in protest of Raw segment, Why Lilian Garcia was absent

The Ascension promo offended former WWE star Lance Storm

Former WWE and WCW star Lance Storm noted on Twitter that he turned off tonight’s RAW broadcast as his way of protesting the show after The Ascension mocked legendary tag team The Road Warriors in their in-ring promo. Storm was upset because the Road Warriors were mentioned and Road Warrior Hawk is no longer with us.

Elsewhere, WWE in-ring announcer Lilian Garcia missed tonight’s episode of Raw from Corpus Christi, Texas as she was replaced by Eden. She noted on Twitter that her dad was in the hospital and she was by his side.

Here is what Storm tweeted in protest of The Ascension segment:

Nothing like making fun of a guy who has passed away. #BadTaste #RAW

#RAW has seriously pissed me off #Respect #RIPHawk

May not mean much to others but I'm turning #RAW #RAWCorpusChristi off! #Respect #RIP #Hawk
