This is likely in response to an article published by Pro Wrestling Torch's Bruce Mitchell last week, featuring speculation so harmful, it prompted the grieving Amanda Huber (Lee's widow) to issue a statement on Instagram, slamming the heartless conspiracy theory just days after her husband's passing. Mitchell was let go from the Torch shortly afterwards. Former WCW midcarder Disco Inferno has since made similar comments on a recent episode of Konnan's Keeping It 100 podcast.

Disgustingly a fake Brodie Lee Jr. Twitter account also emerged last week, though this was quickly shut down after being outed.

It's amazing that even during this time of immense grief for the Huber family. professional wrestling has still found ways to be repugnant.

Jon Huber passed away at 41 years old on 26 December. He had been hospitalised since late October 2020, having spent time in Jacksonville, Florida's Mayo Clinic for a lung issue unrelated to COVID-19, as confirmed by multiple negative tests.
