Kenny Omega Rips Into Jim Cornette, Says He Has Backed Himself Into A Corner With Hateful Speech

Kenny Omega still isn’t a fan of Jim Cornette.

It’s safe to say that a lot of pro wrestling talent aren’t Jim Corentte’s biggest fans. Cornette is one of the most controversial members of the pro wrestling industry and has made his disdain for several fan favorite wrestlers part of who he is.

While on Twitch with “CEOGaming“, former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega discussed Jim Cornette, Cornette’s followers, and his opinion on Cornette’s situation.

“I think Jim Cornette has backed himself up into a corner where, now, he’s found this group of extremely pathetic human beings who have no other thing to aspire to become, or no one to base their life off of, no one to listen to, no one to adhere to their commands,” Omega said. “And so, when it became a character that he could play as though he was still traveling up and down the strip in the indies, like back in the old days, now he’s got this group of people hanging off his every word. And all he has to do is sit and talk on a podcast with some other guy.”

“When he realized he could make money by delivering hateful speech, he backed himself into a corner, and now, if he wants to make rent, if he wants to buy his fancy McDonald’s double cheeseburger meal, he has to talk about the things that are going to get attention and a lot of the time, that’s going to be your’s truly.”

“That seeps into our locker room too. Yeah, it does. Everyone is so afraid of the f*cking cult of Cornette army and people that have like, you know, anti-AEW sites that they want to be — they want to do whatever the f*ck they can to stay safe.”

Omega hasn’t wrestled since November of last year as he had been recovering from several injuries since. He has had 5 procedures to repair his injuries. Time will tell how Cornette will react to Omega’s comments.
