Jeff on TNA and his career regrets/future
It would be almost impossible to talk to Jeff Jarrett and not mention TNA/Impact Wrestling in one way or another. All I wanted to know was whether or not he still keeps up to date with Impact, especially now that it's moved to Canada and is in the process of rebuilding.
Obviously you founded TNA and were with the company for a long long time. You have now left that company, but do you still keep up to date with Impact Wrestling, do you follow the roster and the guys there?
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Jeff Jarrett: I keep up with Ring of Honor, with Impact, with New Japan, with All Japan, with NOAH, obviously AAA, CMLL, the independent scene. There's a lot of content being created, it'll be impossible to keep up with all of it, but I do with quite a bit of it. I've got, I'll call it a network of three to five others and at some point or another, we're pretty aware of most things going on around the world. And with my partnership with Fite, I'm in tune with the independent scene and the events coming up. So yeah, I keep up with all of it.
You've been a massive driving force as a wrestling promoter, you built up TNA to be a rival to WWE, you've expanded wrestling to other countries like India and you've given countless wrestlers opportunities they wouldn't have had otherwise, but is there anything you haven't done yet, or that you wish you could have done or perhaps would like to do in the future.
Jeff Jarrett: The opportunities today are more so now than other because of technology. And with fight and the stream that they can provide and the technology and everything that goes with it. So our partnership, Global Force and Fite's partnership. We've got a very exciting third/fourth quarter for 2018 and we already have the building blocks for 2019.
So I'm very excited because technology is providing opportunities that weren't available, even two or three years ago. So the simple answer to that question is stay tuned because there's new events coming up that I'm just as excited about, quite frankly more excited about than things from the past because they will be new, it's different, it's fresh.
So there you have it. It would be easy to sit back and think you've made it after being inducted into the most prestigious Hall of Fame for the career you've spent your entire life doing. But Jeff Jarrett is clearly a man who won't settle and has big plans for the future. Jeff Jarrett is clearly a man who, after taking some time out, is well and truly back!
