    I wasn't paying attention. But the Universal title is on a blue strap now. It's still not pretty, but I like it better than red.

    I’m the same. Been a few weeks since I actually watched. Decided to give it a shot. Once I got to Lana completely fumbling through her words and accent and had to have Lashley.....LASHLEY correct her I had to shut it down. Jeez how the mighty have fallen. But now I know canceling the network and now after this, Canceling my DVR times for main brand shows wasn’t a mistake. Wow. Just wow.

    Sooooo... anybody else hear about Cornette's commentary during the Aldis vs Murdoch match on last night's NWA Powerrr? I'm going to forego quoting it because... yeah.
    Anyway, so Cornette is out of NWA now (they're saying he resigned), which is a proper result. The problem here is NWA filmed this stuff like 2 months ago and it made it through editing without anyone thinking it was bad. What?

    Corgan and Lagana are both trash as well, so i'm not really surprised it got through when they are the people signing off on stuff there.

    I'm generally not much of an Aldis fan, but he came across the best in this situation by far and he isn't even to blame for any of this shit since he was just the dude that happened to be in the ring at the time.

    I am a Cornette fan, but... Yeah. That comment was insensitive at best. I can see why it upset people and think that the proper steps were taken to help smooth over the issue.

    I'm honestly going to miss him on NWA as that's my favorite wrestling show at the moment and I think he does add to it. However, I'm interested to see if they can get another "old-school" wresting personality on board to keep the same feeling.

    I'll probably skip Friday's Jim Cornette Experience podcast just because I know it will mostly be him bitching about how people can't take a joke anymore.

    I disagree that the proper steps were taken. Were this from a live broadcast, yeah dumping Cornette would be enough. But this was a taped event that was filmed at the beginning of October and that line wasn't caught by anyone in the editing process.

    *shrug* The powers that be/editors may not have thought the statement was a big deal. They may have taken the statement as merely insensitive and not racist. They found out otherwise when people complained after the show was released. Upon hearing the complaints, they pulled the show and removed the statement. I would say that they handled the situation just fine.

    I'd expect nothing less from Cornette. He's a good ol' southern boy after all.
