Karl Anderson Slammed For Comments In Bad Taste Following Daffney's Death

WWE has reportedly reached out to all their talent to remind them that mental counseling is available if they are in need following the tragic passing of WCW/TNA star Shannon “Daffney” Spruill who took her own life late last night.

Here is what that text message said:

"As a reminder to our Talent, if you are dealing with a difficult personal matter and would like to speak with someone to get the support you need, please don’t hesitate to contact [Counseling Company Name Withheld] at [NUMBER DELETED] or WWE Medical."

AEW star Karl Anderson responded to a tweet from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful which made mention of the text above and said, "They suck bro", in reference to WWE. Anderson was under contract with WWE from 2016-2020.

As you can imagine Anderson has come under intense criticism across social media for using a time like this to call out WWE, especially when they are offering help to their talent around such a sensitive topic.

Anderson has continued to tweet, calling out and insulting some of his followers with some tweeting AEW President Tony Khan directly to take action against Anderson.

You can see some of what Anderson has posted below:

Former WWE Superstar Jake Atlas revealed the company saved his life with therapy. He tweeted the following:

"I certainly don’t want to make this about me but this is important to speak up about. WWE paid for 6 months of my therapy & quite literally saved my life. Not everything is what it seems. People who are truly suffering from mental illness learn how to to hide it well. Reach out."

It's really sad seeing a 41 year old fully grown man like Karl Anderson call people out and inviting them to fight him. Using the death of Daffney to further his anti WWE agenda is not something I expected to see, even from someone as bitter as he. Send the guy his P45 already...

Karl Anderson shows he’s a piece of shit.

Fans tell him that’s not cool.

He calls them fucking marks repeatedly.

That response is the standard snowflake reaction from losers that are salty as fuck that they’re irrelevant combined w/clearly not knowing what that term means.

You want a conversation @MachineGunKA? I'll tell you who I am if it makes you happy. I think it's a good idea we have a talk about tact, decorum and empathy. I'll wait. I ain't attacking you, but I could brief you on being a human real quick.

WWE offering counseling to their talent after what happened with Daffney is a rare good move from the fed and I cannot believe Karl Anderson shitting on it. come on dude
