Wow, that's a pretty big one. Best wishes to his family.

One of the most famous promoters who had a major influence on the business along with the rest of the family. I'm guessing Jeff won't be on Dynamite or Rampage this week, understandably.
RIP.

Condolence to the Jarrett family. This is a massive loss in the wrestling world. Jerry had done it all and done it well. I love me some Memphis & he was a huge part of making it what it was.

Awful, RIP sir. His story on the first episode of Not Dark Side of the Ring show was awesome.

I'm just really glad Jeff got to reconcile with him over the past few years.

I'm just really glad Jeff got to reconcile with him over the past few years. Very much same considering how extremely messy the TNA breakup was. Thoughts to Jeff and the rest of his family. Hell of a legacy, though.

Horrible two weeks for Memphis wrestling fans. At least Lawler seems like he'll be okay, but still.

RIP. Say what you want about Vince, but it really says something that Vince was going to give the keys to the company to Jerry if he would have been convicted in the steroid trial.

Hell of a loss. I suspect we'll see tributes for him all around wrestling, as we should
I hope Jeff's ok in this time, RIP

Jerry led an interesting life. Honestly, the Jerry Jarrett Memphis Coup is one of those wrestling stories that'd make for a great movie.

Also, I assume it's a typo, but there's an irony that Jarrett is misspelled in the thread title when Jeff spent years specifically telling us how to spell it.
It's J-A-Double R-E-Double T, ha ha!
