While calling a match between Nick Aldis and Trevor Murdoch, Cornette seemingly tried to praise Murdoch for his toughness, saying "Hes the only man Ive ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia." Wednesday, the that 58-year-old Cornette had resigned from his position as a result of that remark. As an announcer on the November 19th edition of NWA Power, Jim made remarks during a singles match between Nick Aldis and Trevor Murdoch that were both offensive and do not meet the high standards of decency and good faith of the National Wrestling Alliance, wrote the organization. To ensure that such an error can never happen again, we've established new procedures of review for all NWA programming going forward. We sincerely regret our failure in this regard. Cornettes comment was made during an episode of NWA Power. The episode was originally uploaded to YouTube with the comment included. However, it has since been taken down and replaced with an edited version of the video, Poster Comment: Trailer Park Twitter in full meltdown Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top Page Up Full Thread Page Down Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 1.

This has got to stop. They're killing freedom of speech, thought and commerce with this one stupid tactic!

I'm imagining the Evergreen State chapter of BLM retreating to a safe space filled with puppies and fuzzy binkies after being traumatized while watching pro-wrastling.
