Wrestling veteran slams suspended AEW Star for alleged comments in talent meeting headed by Tony Khan

Kenny Omega's reported comments at a talent meeting prior to AEW All Out have garnered a heated reaction from Jim Cornette.

The Cleaner has been involved in a recent controversy regarding his role in a backstage brawl following CM Punk's comments at the media scrum. Earlier, a talent meeting took place where Omega apparently showcased "tough love" as he addressed the locker room.

A recent report stated that Kenny Omega made a specific comment about not hiring "8 out of 10" people currently on the roster. This had seemingly rubbed a number of people the wrong way.

This has also elicited a reaction from Jim Cornette. Taking to Twitter, the wrestling veteran slammed Kenny Omega for his rather controversial comments.

"I bet more than one wouldn't have hired HIM either!"

@TheJimCornette Too bad, that he was one of the main reasons AEW was formed, and none of them.
Old man yelling at the clouds, nothing new here.🙈😂 https://t.co/vseXpE1wSQ

A few others also agreed with Cornette and slammed Kenny Omega.

@TheJimCornette The reason Kenny wouldn't have hired 80% of them is because 80% of them are better, more talented, and more over than he will ever be.
