Jeff Jarrett on the wrestling industry in India
One of the big things Jeff Jarrett did in TNA was making inroads into the wrestling scene in India, founding Ring Ka King and giving a spotlight to a number of Indian wrestlers. We ask him what his thoughts are on what is still a growing industry over there.

One of the other things you did quite heavily in TNA is you looked to branch out into India with Ring Ka King, do you think there's still a lot more that can be done in India when it comes to wrestling?
Jeff Jarrett: Absolutely, and if you can, put this in bold print. Absolutely yes! (There you go Jeff). It's truly an undiscovered resource, and I don't mean complete undiscovered because in TNA that was the first international market back in 2003 that we cleared so wrestling has been in India for many, many, many years.
But the economy, the technology, the independent scene, everything has come together that India is poised to explode. WWE is putting quite a bit of resource toward India and I can foresee in the near future a lot more being developed in India.
That would be a great thing. Obviously, we've seen some of the talent that you sort-of helped launch, people like Mahabali Shera. He is now in the WWE. It must be quite nice for yourself to see people like that, who you gave a platform to, succeed and go on to work in these other great wrestling companies?
Jeff Jarrett: Yeah, Shera is someone, and there were many people on the Ring Ka King roster, but Shera was someone that collectively by a group of us at Ring Ka King, and I was blessed enough to be a part of that process and a part of that opportunity and given the reigns on that but Shera was, I'll say, a unanimous pick.
He's got a great look but more importantly he really wants it, and that's proven, he moved to America, more specifically moved to Nashville Tennessee, adapted, learned the language. He really has done so much more behind the scenes to succeed in the professional wrestling industry that people will never know. There are no ifs, ands or buts or zero question marks whether Shera wants to succeed in the business and I personally, have a tremendous amount of respect for that.
The same goes with two other guys, who are of Indian descent but Canadian born but their parents are born and raised in India, and that's the Bollywood Boys. Currently with the WWE and those guys were a part of Ring Ka King. They were part of the early days of Global Force, and very, very successful.
They make a great package for the WWE so I'm very happy for their success and they're two other guys who have paid their dues, and really, really the stuff behind the scenes that people don't know about, they have strived and turned over every rock in this business and the success they're having today is truly due to their perseverance.
Coming up, Jeff Jarrett spills the beans on his future WWE plans, his thoughts on Elias and answers whether or not he will be 'All In'.
