Scott Hall’s Son Cody Hall Pulled From Japanese Tour After Racially Insensitive Tweet

Cody Hall, Scott Hall’s son is following in his father’s footsteps. He hasn’t reached the same heights as his Bad Guy dad, but he’s doing what he can. One recent social media post put a big halt in his plans.

Hall recently tweeted out: “Blah blah coronavirus. Welcome to the yellow fever.” The coronavirus is rapidly becoming an epidemic and a huge issue in China and the rest of the world is on guard as well. This was not a sensitive tweet at all and DDT Pro didn’t appreciate it at all.

DDT Pro sent out a public statement where they distanced themselves from Cody Hall’s comments. The Japanese pro wrestling company proceeded to pull Cody Hall from all of their future events as well as his “Anytime Anywhere contract.”

Cody Hall has recently made an inappropriate comment on Twitter, and we have contacted him regarding this situation. Cody Hall has apologized to us, and has also suggested withdrawing himself from the remaining dates of his tour as well as relinquishing his Anytime Anywhere contract. In light of the gravity of his comments, we have agreed to all of his suggestions above.
