David Lagana has announced on Twitter that this week’s episode of NWA Powerrr titled, Episode 7 - “The Phoenix Rises” has been pulled from YouTube because one of their talent said something offensive on the broadcast.
He tweeted:
"On tonight's episode of NWA Powerr airing on November 19th 2019, one of our talents made comments which some viewers found offensive. We deeply regret the error and apologize.
We have temporarily taken the program down while we correct this error."
The person who wasn't named is Jim Cornette, he said: "Trevor Murdoch knows how to survive! He's the only man that I've ever known that can strap a bucket of fried chicken on his back and ride a motor scooter across Ethiopia!" - You can listen to the comments below.

This isn't the first time Cornette has been in trouble with the company. NWA issued a statement recently that condemned Cornette for comments he made making light of suicide when he suggested PROGRESS announcer Jim Smallman hang himself over the way he dresses.
