WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently joined the WrestlingINC podcast to discuss his return to WWE. The former TNA and WCW World Champion talked about a variety of topics, here’s some of the highlights.
When asked about the plan for his surprise Rumble appearance Jarrett said “Some things are better left unsaid….” Jarrett stated that it was always the plan for him to square off with Elias at The Rumble and then at Raw. “Heck, I didn’t even know the plan of anything. All I knew was: show up because Double J’s in the Rumble. So, don’t ask me about a plan!”
“Sunday Night Was Special”
Jarrett also mentioned just why the Rumble was a special moment for him. “Sunday night was special for a lot of reasons, but as things were transpiring the Roadie/Road Dog and Double J had not appeared on camera in a long, long time in that set of circumstances,” stated Jarrett. “I knew that was gonna be special, and Nick, I can not tell you what an incredible moment personally and professionally it was for me and [Road Dogg] to be on stage.”
Changes to WWE
The WWE HOF Superstar also commented on the changes WWE has made since he was last in the company. “It’s amazing. Obviously, they’re publicly-traded,” stated Jarrett. “I left the day before they went public… So everything that goes with that – not that they were a small organization, by any means, in 1999. But they are an enormous operation with NXT in Orlando and one in the UK. The international business – India…My time in TNA, I was working extensively in the international side of things – India properties, the UK properties, Africa, all of that. So, I know the international business side quite well.” Jarrett elaborated further, saying “It’s amazing the footprint WWE has around the globe. When you look at the scope of the amount of live events they run, it’s mind-boggling.”
