As seen during the April 29th 2024 edition of WWE RAW, general manager Adam Pearce wore a suit that was inspired by veteran wrestling personality Jim Cornette. Pat McAfee commented on the attire by saying that Pearce should get a tennis racket which was the prop that Cornette used during his time as a manager.

Pearce received criticism for wearing the attire. One Twitter/X user, @MattKoonMusic, wrote that “it’s a bizarre business when you circle the wagons around a racist, homophobe, and misogynist.”

Pearce addressed criticism that he received…

“One person decided to buy a horrible red jacket to wear for fun and quote Sweet Stan in a tweet referring to it. Another person decided that it must mean solidarity with bigotry, among other terrible things. Why do I block people online? Same reason I flush the pot. Touch grass.”
