The wrestling world came to Gisele's defense and denounced the remarks made by Steiner. A YouTuber caught up with Rick while he was at the airport with WWE legend Lex Luger.
YouTuber "Joy.Of.Everything" approached Rick Steiner at the airport and attempted to ask him about his comments. The YouTuber followed Rick around the airport for a while and continued to ask questions about the incident, but Steiner refused to comment.

Gisele Shaw called out WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner
Gisele Shaw shared her experience with Rick Steiner at WrestleCon and the Hall of Famer has been banned from the event.
Shaw was at an autograph signing at WrestleCon and heard someone making hateful comments but opted not to look to see who it was. Gisele returned to the area once again and noticed that it was Rick Steiner.
The 34-year-old was in shock as Steiner got louder and continued to disparage her in public. She took to Twitter to discuss the incident and added that she was disappointed in the reactions of those around her.
"Another disappointing part about this whole incident was that there were other wrestling legends who just sat there, turned their heads away, did not want to get involved, or stand up for what's right because it involved 'one of the boys'. Judging from that experience, it was more important for them to watch something wrong go down as supposed to standing up for someone who's been bullied and doing what's right," tweeted Gisele Shaw.
Rick Steiner's controversial comments have caused the WWE legend to be banned from WrestleCon for life and have likely offended many of his fans as well.
