La NWA vient d’émettre un communiqué de presse concernant une remarque douteuse émise par Jim Cornette, commentateur de NWA Powerrr
Statement by National Wrestling Alliance on Jim Cornette
Over the last few days, a situation was brought to our attention in regard to comments made by Jim Cornette that have been taken as making light on the subject of suicide.
We’ve addressed the situation internally with Mr. Cornette and made it clear that any comments in regards to this subject, joking or serious, are not endorsed by Lightning One and the National Wrestling Alliance.
Mr. Cornette understands the seriousness of this situation and with that he will remain the color commentator for NWA Powerrr.
Mental Health and Suicide Prevention are very important to the NWA President Billy Corgan and myself. If you’re ever needing help or need to speak with someone: The National Suicide Prevention Life Line is 1-800-273-8255 or online at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org
Sincerely,
David Lagana
VP / Lightning One & National Wrestling Alliance.
Le commentaire controversé de Cornette en question était relié à l’ancien annonceur de la promotion britannique PROGRESS Jim Smallman. Cornette a en effet affirmé que Smallman devrait se pendre tellement selon lui il était mal habillé lors d’un événement de lutte.
Cornette avait par la suite répliqué vivement à Glen Joseph, président exécutif de PROGRESS, qui critiquait ses déclarations.
“Write it down & shove it up your ass so it’s always close to you. You & the disheveled-looking hobo bum ring announcer are the most sensitive butthurt people I’ve ever seen.”
Et quand quelqu’un a fait valoir à Cornette que le suicide ne doit pas faire l’objet de blagues, le coloré annonceur a répliqué que quelqu’un peut fort bien aider Smallman à se pendre… (“I didn’t say he had to do it himself — it was left open that someone could do it for him.”)
