Jim Cornette trended on Twitter during Monday afternoon after a series of exchanges with wrestlers and fans led to people accusing him of being sexist. Here are some of the messages that generated the controversy:
Terry Funk has said “I can’t make them believe pro wrestling is real but I can make them believe that I’m real.”
I believe in Terry Funk. I don’t believe in what’s her face.

It's amazing how you can be better than Vince Russo in so many things…except being a decent person. And that's baring in mind all the casual racist and homophobic shit Russo has said.

Is this a scene from a new science-fiction movie about alien spores who come to Earth and grow into cosplay rasslers? https://t.co/lNto6UV1JJ

Come on, Satin, just because YOUR wife doesn't rattle the pots & pans around at your house, you can't say that's not the normal place for the average American housewife! That's not sexist, it's just stating facts!

Jim Cornette’s way of helping:
-attack popular wrestlers who don’t do things the way it was done down south in the 1980s
-use homophobia & transphobia to dismiss a wrestler’s presence
-use misogyny to dismiss a prominent & successful female wrestler’s opinion on wrestling https://t.co/rRyK78gdQ1— (((David Starr)))? (@TheProductDS) August 19, 2019
