Swoll reposted a video of himself wearing a Hogan costume at the gym to send a tribute to the WWE superstar on the day he passed away. After posting the video, many people were unhappy due to some of Hogan’s actions. After speaking to others and doing research of his own, Swoll deleted the videos and issued an apology.

At the end of the video, Swoll vowed that he is done with social media but it seems that it was only a short break.
“Love me or hate me, I am not going anywhere and you’re not going to cancel me.”
Swoll shared a video on Saturday of a woman in the gym judging another woman because of the exercises she was performing. After a few seconds showing an empty chair, Swoll returned to the screen and began explaining that he is returning to spread his positive message.
Joey Swoll Back on Social Media After Receiving “Thousands” of Messages
It was a short break for Joey Swoll, who shared that he received messages from fans explaining how they believe in the good that he does each day.
“I just needed a few days to step back, breath, get my mind right, and over those few days, I received thousands and thousands of messages from people telling me do not quit.”
Hogan passed away last Thursday morning after going into cardiac arrest at his home in Florida. There were many tributes to Hogan, including from WWE during an episode of “Monday Night Raw.” Hogan was initially inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. He was then removed 10 years later following a scandal involving racist comments made while he was being secretly recorded.
This led to negative comments toward Swoll following his tribute video. There were also many who believes that Swoll should not stop just because of the video. This led to messages from fans and after a few days of reflecting, Joey Swoll is back on social media.
“How much I help them and inspire them, including messages giving me a good kick in the ass I needed to get back up. So I am not quitting and I am done apologizing. I’m going to continue to make videos calling out bullies.”
