The fan wrote, “Always loved him. His theater incident was a little bit. Shameful somewhat lol but he also had a variety of allegations and I believe charges regarding child. You know what on his computer. Just hearing about that today on the news as a recap of his life, which definitely is totally effed up.”

This comment made the WWE Hall of Famer irate, and she slammed the fan with a strong reply. She wrote, “@mjpcomics maybe don’t talk about what you clearly don’t know about and let those honor and pay tribute who know what his contributions did give to so many.”

Reubens not only spread laughter on his TV show, but he also tickled the funny bone of thousands of WWE fans during his visits to the WWE events.
