Wow...
Daaaamn.
Soooo...
We'll probably never know what made him go there.
But it must have been pretty bad.
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.
Right? Am I missing something?
Reeks of bullshit to me...
Jim Cornette is from Kentucky. He basically said he didn't see the comment as racist because he's "from the south"... suspicious.
Billy recently had a horribad heckling experience on his solo tour during his Kentucky show...
Maybe this is his way of getting back at people by making Jim Cornette say some fucked up shit on air, and then blame it on Cornette being "from the south" and therefore inherently racist or something.
Either way this is making me want to unsub NWA altogether.
