Jim Cornette resigned from his position as NWA’s color commentator Wednesday after making a racist comment on Tuesday’s episode of NWA Power.
During the episode, Cornette called Trevor Murdoch “the only man I’ve ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia.”
The episode was originally uploaded to YouTube with the comment included, but it was later taken down, and an edited version replaced it.

NWA Worlds champion Nick Aldis, who was facing Murdoch at the time, released his own statement condemning Cornette’s remark.
Meanwhile, Cornette suggested he will address the situation Friday on the next episode of his podcast, The Jim Cornette Experience.
