Jim Cornette, no stranger to being outspoken about AEW, has revealed every AEW wrestler he would fire, and every one he’d keep.
During the latest Jim Cornette Experience podcast, Cornette went down the AEW roster page one-by-one to determine who he’d keep if he was running a promotion, and who he wouldn’t.
Due to the AEW roster being so large, he only got about halfway through, but promised to pick back up on a future podcast, so this list only includes male roster members through the letter N alphabetically for now.
We’ll update this article when he completes the list.
Here are the names Cornette opted to fire when going down through the roster:
- AEW World Trios Champions Death Triangle (Pac, Penta El Zero Miedo & Rey Fenix)
