So I contacted Jim Cornette about this and (among other things) he said to listen to his Friday podcast for an explanation.
I dunno though... if you listen to his statement in the video at that TMZ link, it didn't sound like something he came up with 'off the cuff'. Nothing in these wrestling matches is real anyway, it's ALL scripted... every last bit of it.
Surely the NWA didn't think it'd be a good publicity stunt to throw a racist joke into the program?? The shows are pre-taped so it's not like they didn't know what he said. That shit isn't live, it's recorded and then released on YouTube as a premiere.
