Jeff Jarrett Talks His Relationship With WWE, Provides Minor GFW Update

Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett is having a pretty good start to 2018, and with the news of his Hall of Fame induction, the possibilities could be endless for him with the WWE.

Jarrett recently spoke with Nola.com to talk about various topics including his induction into the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame class, which is slated to go down on Friday, April 6th in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Smoothie King Center. Bill Goldberg will headline the class. Other names that have been confirmed to be inducted this year include Ivory, The Dudley Boyz, and Hillbilly Jim.

“It was a Sunday morning in early January. It was all in about 60 seconds. I was shocked. It was a very surreal moment. And then pretty quickly, I had a real sense of gratitude and am very grateful and humbled. My family has been in the business for three generations. For me to get this honor, I’m just incredibly humbled about this situation.”

When pressed about who would be inducting him, Jarrett responded by stating, “Stay tuned for the announcement. I’m very excited about the guy that has been chosen.”

Jarrett added when he was asked about his relationship with the sports entertainment company, “It’s been nothing but spectacular reconnecting. Really looking forward to getting to New Orleans and not just seeing faces we see on camera every week but people behind the scenes.”

After departing from TNA Wrestling (now Impact Wrestling), in 2014, Jarrett founded another new promotion, Global Force Wrestling (GFW). During this interview, he was asked about what’s going on with GFW after he cut ties with Impact Wrestling last year.

“I’m working on some international projects as we speak. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best I’ve been in years. Feel great. And not just physically. Mentally and emotionally and spiritually as well. I’m really excited about the next chapter of my career. The international wrestling scene has so much growth opportunity – Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, all around the world.”

Jarrett also talked about wrestlers that were created in TNA and more. You can check that out by reading the full interview here.
