Ring Ka King was fun while it lasted(I still remember how Steiner got the crowd angry).
Cant wait to see Sting no sell JJs guitar shot like at BFG 2006.
I mean, they already have Santam Singh and if they're able to make a 26 episode series over there with some of the undercard talent, that might not be the worst thing. Would help build the brand and get them on more television.

I mean by most accounts he was doing a good job in his role.
Yet he was fired because Triple H wanted his buddy Road Dogg in that position.
Say what you want about Jeff, but in this case he has a reason TK br bitter.

Why is this dude still taking shots at the Indies? Like does he know tripling down on bullshit isn't a smart idea? Because Braun is a Ryback-level dumbass who's also incredibly insecure. I think deep down he knows he basically did nothing to earn his spot, but that doesn't square with his rugged alpha male view of himself, so he lashes out and tries to play puppet master on social media. Only he can't even do that well because of his aforementioned dumbassery, so it leads to him pissing off his fellow wrestlers as well as "da smarks."

I wish Jarrett was paired with someone other than Lethal. Even putting my personal distaste for Lethal aside, Jarrett would do an amazing job of getting a young, up-and-coming heel over if they were teamed together. He's a great promo and hype man. Lethal is where Lethal is and he doesn't need Jarrett to be there.

It's so interesting hearing people have such Jarrett PTSD. I get it but as someone born in the mid 90s, most of my memories of him were in TNA 2007 and beyond where he was mostly just a dude on the roster (I did love his MMA gimmick). I get why people would be sick of him given his early TNA run and his years in WCW but he's cool in my book.

Lethal is where Lethal is and he doesn't need Jarrett to be there. That shit was terrible. I agree, it’d be wiser to put him with someone it can benefit. Jay..Double J ain’t gonna elevate Jay Lethal. The hell is Tony’s obsession with Lethal?? Lol..like, for real: does he have incriminating pictures?!? Maybe Karter’s the end goal, iono lol

I really do hope Double J moves on from Lethal after this tag match with him vs. Darby and Sting. Putting him in a feud with a young guy or as a mentor figure would be great.

Following this Darby/Sting program, for whatever reason I don’t see JJ hanging around on AEW television constantly and if anything he’ll probably pop up super rare like when he guested on Raw about a year ago. Who knows, I could be totally wrong but I have a sliver of faith that King Of The Mountain TNA Jarrett is deader than flagpole sitting.
….that’s Darby’s next spot, isn’t it?

Owners' Belt era Jeff Jarrett has been gone for a long time. I like that unlike that nameless giant with the red skinny pants or whatever he called Braun, he has a respect for the indies.

I’m actually of a similar mindset from a different segment of time: I’ll always have a soft spot for Double J’s initial WWF run. He was a great midcard heel, basically Honky Tonk Man as a much better in-ring worker. Jarrett as a dominant world champion, didn’t watch but sounds bad. Jarrett cackling as he spells his name, I’m here for it.

I assume he's working with Lethal due to preference, given he and Lethal recently worked with Flair. Obviously Lethal has a lot of trust to work with veterans.

If Tony were putting him to work backstage, where there are clear deficiencies , I’d call JJ a great catch. But I don’t that’s the capacity Tony has in mind for him.

I have stated over and over hiring Jarrett in any managerial role is idiotic given how he's responsible for so many of the issues that dogged TNA, I shan't repeat myself, just kinda shake my head in bafflement at how this snake oil salesman keeps on finding employment.

Most of the issues were in the creative aspect.

Because it wasn't "so many of the issues", it was booking, it's always been his booking Arena planning isn't where he lacked, he was great in India, booking TNA in the UK, he was great when he was doing it in WWE THIS YEAR, and now he's doing it in AEW (They're already booking venues they've never been to) The shit aspects of Jeff Jarrett are in fact shit, but what they hired him for is his strength.

Tremendous line from Dave in the Observer:
"I mean, even though Jarrett & Road Dogg go back decades, it’s one thing to be replaced in an administration change, but to be replaced in a position that requires brains by Road Dogg, yeah, I could see being mad about that one."

Even then the problem was less his booking overall and more how he booked himself. I think he'd actually be a decent booker if he's not an active performer. The vast majority of bad TNA business decisions were Dixie Carter-related.
