The NWA has temporarily taken down this week’s episode of NWA Powerrr due to some racist comments made on commentary by Jim Cornette. NWA producer Dave Lagana took to Twitter to apologize for Cornette’s comments, saying, “One of our talents made comments which some viewers found offensive. We deeply regret the error and apologize. We have temporarily taken the program down while we correct this error.”
With that being said, how this goes without being noticed on a show that is taped weeks in advance is beyond us.
During a match between Trevor Murdoch vs. Nick Aldis, Cornette said, “Trevor Murdoch is the only person who can strap a bucket of fried chicken to his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia. Trevor Murdoch can take care of himself!”
