WON: More on Jeff Jarrett's WWE departure and speculation on Bruce Prichard's future in WWE
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that for the time Jeff Jarrett worked in that position, the live events business went up significantly. He also said with Jarrett departure, Triple H may soon have to question the Prichard's position in the company:
Ironically Brian James was hired a few days after Jarrett was fired, as Vice President of Live Events. Not that I’m crediting him with this, but during that four month period the live events business has gone up significantly. We’ve also heard mostly strong reports from those at the live events. This was a surprise, but in talking to people at the company, it shouldn’t have been. Bringing Jarrett back to the company was believed to have been a move Bruce Prichard suggested to Vince McMahon, and he’s not a member of the Paul Levesque team. It opens the spot up to someone that Levesque hand-picked from his own team.
This will lead to questions about Prichard in his spot and time will tell. Prichard is a guy who gets that his job is to service his boss. Talent thinks he’s a Vince McMahon guy with more of an idea of the entertainment side and that Levesque (Triple H) is more wrestling, but I think Prichard will service whatever vision Levesque wants. Nobody expects a lot of changes in a hurry but they do expect changes as Levesque will more and more bring in his guys.

Bruce knows part of his job is to give the boss's pillow a good shake to make sure they're comfortable, and to preen the boss's feathers. You could say he's a fluffer. |

There's a reason they call him Brother Love.

Jeff Jarrett finally draws a dime… and immediately gets fired. Life truly is one big practical joke.

So he was doing a really good job and got fired mainly just cause he wasn't a Triple H guy?
That's...concerning.

Hhh- Bruce, a word?
Bruce- Sure what’s up?
HHH- Well it’s a bit obvious I’m going in a different direction, and that means tough choices have to be made…
Bruce- I LOOOOOVVVVEEEE YOU!!!!
HHH- Alright, never mind

Man if Road Dogg is The Nutter that really gives his whole gimmick a new layer.

Right, like unless it's a case where he's doing it well, but in a way that's contradictory to the direction Triple H and co. are moving in. I guess we don't know yet, but yeah, that's not a good omen in and of itself. |

Plus, most events sell the bulk of tickets months in advance and he had this job for less than 3 months. |

"Prichard is a guy who gets that his job is to service his boss." Is one of those lines so good a whole thread could just be that copy pasted over and over.

HHH: ...hahahaha
Jarrett: Hahaha, yeah, it's a good one, isn't it?
HHH: Hahahahahaha, get the f*** out of here.
Jarrett: Wh...what?
HHH: Get. THE f***. OUT. NOW.

HHH: hey Jeff, got a minute?
JJ: sure, what’s up?
HHH: live event business is doing great right now and I want to thank you for all of your hard work. (slides him an envelope)
JJ: a bonus!? You shouldn’t have, I was just doing my job!
HHH: that’s good, because I didn’t, you’re fired, I need to give Road Dogg a job.
