Jim Cornette was trending on social media this past week over a KZbin thumbnail he used for a video discussing Swerve Strickland. The thumbnail showed Jim Cornette as a gorilla, Swerve himself, and a Q-tip.
Many called it racist and slammed Jim for being insensitive, including wrestlers in the business. Let's talk about it.

you know cornette said rascist things in the past?

[@charlesbuckley5615]

Vince said the N-word on national television and people were still interested in WWE

This is why people shouldn't jump to conclusions

It’s the only exercise they get though

[@romariogayle5878]

A lot of black people are actually fans of Jim Cornette

[@snkfan7506]

Agreed. I'm one of them. Hated him when I was a kid. But as a 44 year old, enjoy his take on things. I listen to his podcast almost every day and I really don't watch wrestling anymore.

[@richardcollinsphotography1288]

😎🤌🏿

[@larryosselborn9009]

Someone only saw the picture and did not listen to the audio

[@jayjaybulldog9180]

See This is what happens when people overreact to things that they see on the internet and buy into it. If someone is actually racist they would’ve said something don’t just believe everything you see on social media.

[@Shisui5752]

Cornette doesn't even do thumbnails, and editing, nor does he run the podcast. He's just the voice behind it. He has said it many times on Twitter and the podcast.

[@ThePhoenix24]

People in mainly America are too quick to pull the race card, sometimes its a necessary thing and is very much needed, but most the time it is just to try and get someone that they do not like, which makes every other instance in which we try to call someone out for "racist behavior" look like nothing. Save the racist callouts for actual moments of racism.

[@kennythetrend3688]

Cornette has a LOT of other things to criticize him for. This isn't really one of them, but it is a bad thumbnail regardless imo.

[@brandonworkman9196]

Also as a white guy I see a lot of ppl my skin tone getting offended for black ppl it’s annoying

This is why it's always important to listen for contexts instead of assuming that's what's wrong with the Internet today

[@Queenlunaloveswolfking]

Its not racist nd I understood it! Did i mention im a mixed breed!

[@Thepunisher90thGaming]

CONTEXT MATTERS, I enjoy listening to Jim and his podcast partner. This thumbnail was entertaining to see, I understand exactly what he meant by what he was saying. In fact, Jim is big upping Swerve why would he be going against him? 😂 People run with, anything because they don't like him.

[@captainsteroid2454]

Oh, goodie. Jim's title card guy is trying to get him killed again. 😑

[@georgeogo771]

Only a true heel would be unbothered by haters😂

[@user-pj1kp3vw8v]

I love Jim carnette I met him a few years ago and there is nothing racist about him people now days needs to chill TF out seriously

[@7holesheartproductions]

if we're being honest, I think a aew stop being a serious wrestling company after Cody and Brandi Rhodes left

[@themachodan13]

Honestly if Cheeta was included in the thumbnail it probably wouldn’t have been as bad, but then again it’s twitter

[@Shadowjester1985]

After the NWA fiasco, I would think Jim Corndog would be more conscious of his public image. He's made that mighty joe young reference before, never included a gorilla in the thumbnail until it was Swerve. Even if he's not physically creating the artwork, it's his channel, he ok'd it.

[@marlock6573]

There's been all sorts of shit in the thumbnails, and they're usually taking the piss out of Cornette. In this case, the gorilla is obviously a caricature of Jim. How is that racist?

[@casnova0471]

The pic is crazy but if you listened it clearly wasn't racist

[@eliebechara3811]

Not racist

[@JCLopez209]

Honestly if I was Cornette I would've also included Chris Jericho in that video cause I also said that even Chris Jericho got a segment where he celebrated winning a title that no offense to Tazz but isn't really sanctioned/an official AEW belt and technically the least important/relevant belt in this company.

[@AKking27]

He is a lovely man I’d eat a burger with him any day

[@silentjp19]

Make sure it has tons of meat and extra cheese

[@treday8768]

While I agree that Cornette said nothing racist, I do think the artist knew what he was doing with that drawing.

he has before said something racist

I didn’t watch collision but I thought he was getting his celebration on collision because he was the lead in from nba I’m not sure tho cus nobody watches collision

Yeah it didn't work though. More than half a million people were like hell no and tuned out in the first 7 minutes.

Hey Alyx, I think your Instagram got hacked, got a message from you for a phone.

[@jonathanmercury1885]

Yeah I like that clown Brian Zane

[@brizzjoshi8454]

Guys context is a thing if you listen there was nothing racist about jims video further more he was saying that Swerve didn't got what he deserve

[@Burnstuff_]

Thank GOD Cornette hasn't been caught on mic being racist! Could you imagine the woke jokes if there was audio of him using the N word repeatedly???

[@garv04]

Go watch all embarrassment wrestling

[@juanky619]

Don fallis😂

[@blaizecunningham6080]

When you're trying to explain why swerve deserves better than this, and people still can't stop with the baiting. If you're the type of person than only cares about optics, then maybe it does look weird, but Jim content is audio, it's about your ears and Jim is actually insulted and appalled on swerves behalf. Jim saying even mighty Joe young or Cheetah shouldn't have gone 15mins with swerve. It's so obvious. Swerve is over, so keep him over by beating underneath guys in 4-6mins with no difficulties. That's what Jim's saying. It shows how well AEW fans are trained, the idea of a non-competitive squash if so anathema, they see it as racist. I know that's an over simplification, but you get the point.

[@jonathanlemonwrestlingshow9251]

Sigh 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@roostermcscratch9060]

For some reason, accusing people makes other people happy. “Hey we got a racist over here! Do you like me now??” Pathetic. I can’t like this video enough times.

[@brandonworkman9196]

Ok alyx I’m old asf what’s an sjw 😂

[@darnell16player]

I say it is and it shows the hate and out of touch nature of Cornette

[@KazamaFury]

The thumbnail itself just was in bad taste. I don’t have really nothing bad to say about Jim besides disagreeing with a lot of his takes and what not.

[@chadwilson5363]

The context of the thumbnail was just explained, how was it in bad taste?

[@KazamaFury]

@@chadwilson5363 because if you don’t know, Jim Cornette from a can of paint and you look at that thumbnail, what are you going to think? you know what? don’t answer that because you probably wouldn’t get it

[@chadwilson5363]

@@KazamaFury no need to get triggered. The context was explained, so stating that the thumbnail was in bad taste even after that is weird. Maybe you didn't get it.

[@KazamaFury]

@@chadwilson5363 you ever heard the expression you get only one chance to make a first impression? it’s still tasteless and even more, pointless

[@chadwilson5363]

@@KazamaFury in what way is it tasteless because if you look at that and assume racism without knowing anything about Cornette or even if you do, then that's stupid. Making assumptions is stupid, jumping to conclusions is stupid. If you don't like the guy, fine but don't make shit up.

[@kristofercarter9470]

Well he say lot of crazy shit also he was the one that hates reho and he bully her and he fans had lot death threats on her and Kenny and anyone who is in AEW he hate Vince Russo but he did nothing too fight him but he still talking shit about him now don't get me wrong what he did was not wrestling Vince made it lot worse than on the later part of WCW and TNA impact Wrestling but let's not gave jim for what he did he is amazing wrestler story telling person but he is very sad and old man screaming the clouds kind of a guy.
