Controversial talk show host Nancy Grace will be doing another segment on professional wrestling this Thursday to follow up on her original coverage of The Ultimate Warrior's death. Grace sparked so much hatred during the Warrior-themed show with WWE wrestlers and fans that the hashtag #CancelNancyGrace began trending worldwide on Twitter.
As a result of that tasteless Ultimate Warrior episode that came off as misinformed and grossly insensitive, reports have indicated that Vince McMahon himself has informed all current and former WWE talent to avoid Nancy Grace. That must be why the only booked guest for Thursday's episode is Lucha Libre USA wrestler R.J. Brewer, and no one from WWE.

The reason for such vitriol towards Nancy Grace from Ultimate Warrior fans and friends is that she decided to capitalize on his sudden death right after it happened by brigning in doctors to implicate steroid use as the cause of his demise. She also had a scrolling list of wrestlers who died young that ran across the TV screen while talking about steroid use in pro wrestling, yet wrestlers like Owen Hart -- who fell from the rafters to the ring in a freak accident in 1999 -- did not die from drug abuse.
Grace also brought in Diamond Dallas Page for what DDP thought would be a discussion about Ultimate Warrior's life, but instead he ended up having to defend the entire pro wrestling industry.

At the end of the day, Nancy Grace should simply stay away from covering pro wrestling. She is obviously not going to do the proper research and instead of blindly jumping in on a subject she knows nothing about, I'd prefer it if she steered clear of discussin it altogether.
