Honest question here. What does Corgin do? Does he can Jim? If he does, I assume they have more shows in the can. Do they not air or do the dub over with new commentary. If they do dub over them, do we trust it could be done right?
Btw if they can Jim, what 80's legend would be a good replacement.
Last thing, this torpedoes any hope that the midnight express will ever have of getting in the HoF

Nahh, definitely not present day. I'm not sure when it was but my guess would be a 2000s interview cause it has that sorta tone. But still though, just finding out that this exists is like...holy shit. What amazes me is that I felt myself reacting even worse to the last part of the clip just due to the breathtaking ignorance it displays. It’s like he thought that makes it okay. The stupidity of this man is astounding. I kept saying I think his “character” is not far from his real life persona but I never thought it was even worse then I thought |

But still though, just finding out that this exists is like...holy shit. Never mind I listened. HOLY SHIT!!! He used the f***ing er at the end of the N word and repeated it multiple times I’m someone who hears the N word daily just from living in NY and being black and I have never felt as offended as I do now cause that shit left his mouth so casually like it was so matter of fact F*** him Once he specifically said "500 Years Ago", that shit was the nail in his coffin. I'm typically not the "You should never be allowed to work again, and you have to die naked and homeless!" type... ...but that statement from Corny is starting to get me there. |

Everything else Is secondary and can be figured out but you can his ass ASAP because that’s way unacceptable |

In the comments on that video is another one of him making the exact same fried chicken joke in 1995.

2 weeks from now: Cornette says the N word. "Are we sure that Cornette meant that?" Should have said 2 hours. |

Okay now with Lagana's tweet and this new use of the N word it's time to see if they dig in or flee like so many rats.

The stupidity of this man is astounding. I kept saying I think his “character” is not far from his real life persona but I never thought it was even worse then I thought This is why the defense of "He didn't MEAN to be racist!" is always so hollow. MOST people don't mean to be racist, because they think racism is bad.... but they also define 'racism' as "stuff I personally wouldn't do." because "I'm not racist." Jim Cornette, the man in that audio, legit doesn't think of himself as racist. His behavior doesn't cross the line, because if it crossed the line, he wouldn't have done it. |

Has Corny, Lagana, Billy, anyone NWA affiliated commented on this in any way besides the Lagana tweet mentioning they're taking the episode down?

If Jim has any decency he’d fess up and throw himself to the mercy of the people over this. You won’t be forgiven but at least it would show some human decency
What I expect is him to act like this is a witch hunt and act like he did nothing wrong

Also, why's it always polka dotted?
Black, white, brown, purple, or polka dotted. I guess it flows well.

I don’t see how anyone can ever defend this man again. This is worse than Hogan, and all the past comments Jim has made is made even worse because you know he has this darkness in his heart I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes a big thing in the morning and everyone has to react to how blatantly ugly it is. He’s got away with a lot of stuff but he’s not getting away with this |

I just realized Bruce Prichard was completely correct about Jim Cornette and Vince Russo being basically a Northern/Southern version of each other.
They're both out of touch racists.

I expect him to go on his next podcast and offer another Dave Lasagna (yeah, I'm stealing this) apology, and then say something weird about the Joshi again within the hour. |

twitter.com/JANELABABY/status/1196983330635468802?s=20Saw this tweet and knew I immediately needed to come back to this forum. Just read the whole things and...WOW. Like, I already hated the mfer, BUT HOLY CRAP. Props Madison for deciding to post that video here. As stomach turning as it was, it encapsulates everything wrong and racist about that man and is, imo, completely defenseless.
