MJF, Mick Foley, Trish Stratus and Others React To Will Smith Slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars

As we previously reported, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars after the comedian made fun of Jada Pinkett-Smith, Will’s wife. It was the most talked about moment from the ceremony, even more than Smith winning Best Actor ten minutes later. Several wrestlers reacted to the news on Twitter. Mick Foley took a shot at Billy Gunn. Trish Stratus took credit for starting a trend (she slapped Becky Lynch at a live event that same night), while MJF blamed Wardlow. You can see several posts below.

I can’t believe Wardlow told Will to do that.
