So is next year's Saudi show gonna have a triple threat with one team coached by Hulk one by Flair and one by Cornette? They're gonna fight over who gets Lars Sullivan. |

Warning: EXTREME racist language I don’t consider myself easily offended but listening to that made me nauseous. Go away Jim. For the good of wrestling, for the good of your fans, your haters, and for yourself. f*** off. |

This happening so soon after ACH (before shooting himself in the foot) tried to start discussion about racism in wrestling is kinda wild btw. He didn’t go about it in the best way, but he was 100% right pointing out how backwards not just WWE but the whole industry’s been on this stuff. |

What's the bet if he's canned, he'll find 100 other people to blame for it. Just like he did every other time he's been canned. Always the victim, it's never his fault. "Yeah, I sent a death threat but, it's TERRY TAYLOR'S fault for reporting it!" "Yeah sure, I drove out a lot of talent out of ROH. Yeah, I booked Smokey Mountain storylines 20 years too late for them. Yeah, I used the most bland OVW guys I could. But, I swear it wasn't my fault my ROH tenure didn't work! It was Greg the office boy! I'll keep saying office boy just like my other cute elementary nicknames to drive home the point!" would fully expect a NWA Power is bullshit trying to cash in on a promotion that hasn't meant shit in 20 years! Rant coming from him if he gets fired. Cause again wherever is paying him is the greatest ever the one that fires him is a garbage heap. |

After listening to Billy Corgan on Busted Open this morning, he’s already so carny you’d think he’d been in the biz for decades. Cornette probably is the most influential person in their entire organization. Corgan & Lagana would no sooner edit him than they would Vince himself. Is it by accident Lagana referred to him as “talent” rather than by his name? The only good that can come from this is if fans make sure to let them know that this won’t be accepted. Their show has actually been really good. I for one would hate to stop watching, but I will if they don’t fix the problem. Billy is under the learning tree of Vince Russo. He might be stupid enough to try to use this |

How sad is it that the champion's apology is better than Lagana's, and he doesn't really have anything to apologize for?

You want to feel like taking a long shower, take a look at some of the replies to the Aldis tweet.

You know the other reason it's racist as hell? Because this is Ethiopia. Does the place have problems? Sure. But this poverty porn we've been sold is a gross generalization of a really complex, interesting country with a whole heap of other stuff going on.  |

"Oh, it's Ethiopia, so they have to be starving. Therefore, he must be tough!" "Don't you get it? They love fried chicken. It's a popular food in the South." "I'm certain he would have to drive it through Ethiopia, given how many hungry people would be chasing him. After all, he would be carrying a bucket of fried chicken, and you know they would be starving." And, stuff like that makes me want to blow my brains out. You know the other reason it's racist as hell? Because this is Ethiopia. Does the place have problems? Sure. But this poverty porn we've been sold is a gross generalization of a really complex, interesting country with a whole heap of other stuff going on. Oh, when I say "poverty" about Africa, I'm talking about Somalia and the Central African Republic, and take your pick of which side of Sudan you're on; they're both poor. I not once have ever considered Ethiopia to be in that sorry of a state. So it boils down to some ignorant schlub throwing a dartboard at a map and going... "I can't pronounce this 'Mozambique', but 'Ethiopia' sounds easy enough." |

Shows how seriously he takes his role as World Champion and the face of the company. Seriously, there are people who could learn a thing or two from him. Being the face of the company doesn't mean just spouting the party line, it means you are the spokesperson and the representative of what the company is. All class by Nick Aldis. |

It's a damn shame that NWA Powerrr finally trended on Twitter and the thing it is trending for is Cornette being an asshole
It's been a damn fine show and he's tarnished it, dude really at this point needs to step off all promotions.

I know people say TNA was the most cursed promotion in History but given the lineage and how far it's fallen, NWA is without a doubt the most snakebit company in the history of wrestling. It keeps trying to stick around and even reinvigorate itself with new owners and even new shows like Powerrr and just when it looks like things might finally turn around just a little, something like this happens, and it just falls the hell apart.
What should amount to being one of the most must-booked promotions, having one of the most prestigious belts in all of wrestling, devolves into this carny ass bullshit, where all they had to do was change one thing, had months to do so, and had to wait for it to actually happen for it to be a disaster. Cornette's an idiot but NWA are idiots too, finally getting some good will only to tank it for this horseshit.

Okay, so my jaw dropped when I heard the line in that Powerrr clip.
Then I saw Arik Cannon's video, and I wanted to bang my head a against a wall.
If Cornette loves the "old school" mentality so much, they should lock him in a room with some of the boys in the back and let them "sort things out".
