Jim Cornette is setting the record straight after a fake AEW press release started circulating online, claiming he was banned from the promotion. Cornette addressed the phony statement on his podcast, pointing out how some fans actually believed it was legit.
Its cute and somebody, you know, mocked it up and everything to where it looks like one of their press releases, Cornette said. He noted that the fake release included bizarre claims, such as AEW extending 14 cordial invitations to him over the years, all of which he supposedly declined.
Cornette didnt hold back as he mocked the fake statement, especially a part that claimed Donald Trump would be attending AEWs Double or Nothing pay-per-view. There was the second red flag that this was a [__] rib, Cornette said. Of all people that he would not be somebody that that crowd would ban.
Cornette also expressed disbelief over how many people fell for the parody press release. People gloss over, they dont read with attention, they just kind of scan for words they like, he said.
