During the most recent episode of AEW Dynamite Chris Jericho met MJF in the ring for a contract signing, and at one point a fan tried to storm the ring, but they were stopped by security while Jericho took a swing at the fan. Following his appearance on Dynamite the fan tagged Jim Cornette in a tweet, and he also said that he did what he did for “real wrestling fans” and that “wrestling is no longer a safe space” when he posted the following on Twitter:
@TheJimCornette @GreatBrianLast, how did you like my #AEW debut? I did this for all of us real wrestling fans, wrestling is no longer a safe space for friends to dance around and play dress up. Reality can hit at anytime, did they think it is going to be fucking playtime forever?

The tweet caught the attention of Chris Jericho who asked the fan whether or not he actually thinks Jim Cornette would condone his behavior.
“Do you really think @TheJimCornette would condone this you f**kin loser? Jimmy would’ve shoved a tennis racket up your ass and smashed your car windows.”

Jim Cornette also weighed in on the incident when he told the fan he would have turned then “into a tennis racket popsicle.”
Got news for you dipshit, the ring is sacred ground for US, and even if you and a lot of others THINK you can kick the shit out of the Young Bucks, I would have turned you into a tennis racket popsicle, & you're lucky someone there didn't gut you like a fish. And you're blocked. https://t.co/hRRiJH0mOg
