Jim Cornette has questioned the Tony Khan posts that have got everyone talking.
Khan became one of the most talked about people in wrestling following his series of updates before and after the head-to-head between Dynamite and NXT on October 10th. Beginning with firing back at Triple H and Shawn Michaels, Tony Khan then claimed a win over WWE by stating how surprised he was that a show that featured John Cena and The Undertaker did not draw over 1 million viewers.
Speaking on Jim Cornette’s Drive-Thru, Cornette found it bizarre that Khan had the time to respond to fans and news reports when there were arguably more important things going on:
“He’s on Cagematch and he’s on Twitter – he just fired his biggest star (CM Punk), but he got another one to replace him, Edge, and he’s about to make his TV debut on a show that’s gonna get its f**king ass kicked in the goddamn ratings, and he’s got time to do this?”
Cornette continued to look back on Khan’s posts and referenced the controversial segment involving MJF and Juice Robinson during Title Tuesday. Noting that there was no reference to this by Khan, Cornette queried why the negative press the segment drew was not addressed:
“This is the day after the show. Has he addressed making mainstream news outlets for being anti-Semitic in the middle of a horrendous war where people have been butchered? Did he bring that up when he was fighting about numbers on Twitter?”
Jim Cornette Believes AEW Could Benefit By Signing Ex-WWE Star
Cornette recently spoke about the many names that were cut from their WWE contracts on September 21st. One of the names that was brought up was Shelton Benjamin, a wrestler whom Cornette knew there was something special in since Benjamin’s OVW days. When asked if the former Intercontinental Champion could be AEW bound, Jim Cornette stated that Shelton Benjamin is capable of outworking most of the AEW roster.
