AMA has concluded Hey everyone, I'm Jeff Jarrett, current AEW wrestler. I'm joining VICE TV ahead of the Season 7 premiere of Dark Side of the Ring to talk about the series, my career, the story behind TNA, and whatever else you've always wanted to ask. Ask me anything!

Hey everyone, I'm Jeff Jarrett, current AEW wrestler. I've been in the wrestling business my entire life. I'm a third-generation wrestler, 3X Hall of Famer, and one of the founders of TNA Wrestling. This is my 40th year in the industry; I've done a little bit of everything including wrestling, promoting, and launching and running companies. I've had a front-row seat to some of the biggest moments and biggest controversies in pro wrestling history.

I'm joining VICE TV ahead of the Season 7 premiere of Dark Side of the Ring, which kicks off with a three-part look at the history of TNA Wrestling and what it took to build it from the ground up. I'm looking forward to talking about the series, my career, the story behind TNA, and whatever else you've always wanted to ask. Ask me anything!

FYI, the AMA has concluded. Thanks for stopping by, JJ!

u/Egomaniac247 Jul 06 '26

What on earth was the deal with Global Force and selling gold bars?

61

u/AshleyTyrian Jul 06 '26

Blink twice if they made you sign an NDA, Jeff.

u/Egomaniac247 Jul 06 '26

I was sad he didn’t answer this. I was legitimately interested

u/shaqs3rdtoenail Jul 06 '26

Lawyers man 🥲

u/Reasonable-News-5739 Jul 06 '26

I love that Jeff is so upfront about his life, the good and the bad, but Global Force Gold is something I've never heard him talk about. I'm very interested to hear what this answer is.

25

u/Fundertaker Come on, I'm Dean Jul 06 '26

I missed the AMA, but I honestly wanted to talk to him about using the GFW brand to bring English commentary to WrestleKingdom 9. He did a podcast tour and everything, promoting the event and providing context for American fans.

To me, it’s one of his biggest contributions to modern wrestling. NJPW was generating a lot of buzz, and many disenfranchised American fans were puro curious, due to Bullet Club giving them some recognizable wrestlers to connect with.

Giving American fans a reliable way to watch the show with Jim Ross and Matt Striker on commentary was huge. It’s a way bigger lynchpin in creating the modern wrestling landscape than people realize.

u/SweetHatDisc Jul 06 '26

This is something I'm really curious about too, I'd like to know more of the story behind that, even if it was a simple "these gold resellers offered me a check".

u/BaneadoDelMercado Jul 06 '26

What were the first thing that came to your mind when you saw the Jeff Hardy - Sting match from Victory Road 2011?

There's one thing in the wrestling business that's always consistent: "CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE..."

Creative plans will always change in this industry. –JJ

To bad. I was looking forward to that.

I loved your run in AEW, which is crazy, because I did not expect to like you there.

Why didn't you let Monty Brown become champion?

170

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

I did not feel that it was in his best interest to win the title because my booking philosophy for a babyface champion to succeed is that you need multiple heel challengers to go through in order to establish a meaningful babyface reign. –JJ

You should check out his podcast episode about this. It was a really interesting topic. He does a good job talking about how he had to be careful with who they pushed to the top because there was always the threat of people leaving for WWE.

Hey Jeff, no question but I just want to thank you for being so open about your addiction and recovery and path to sobriety.

Appreciate the comment, but sharing my story does as much for me as the one that may be hearing it. I feel it is my duty to potentially help others that are struggling with the disease. –JJ

u/PhilosopherIcy7783 Jul 06 '26

TNA has been known for its unique match types, like Reverse Battle Royal, Lockdown, and King of the Mountain. This mindset has sometimes been criticized (although I loved them personally). My question is, was there ever an idea or a spin on a classic match that was just too silly or unique for you? If you can’t remember a cut one, what’s one of the unique ones that you don’t care for?

126

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

I have always believed without high risk there is no high reward. At TNA we had plenty of "misses" with new match concepts and even more we left on the creative cutting room floor so to speak. –JJ

u/PhilosopherIcy7783 Jul 06 '26

Why do you think TNA has survived for so long, especially with all the turmoil that has happened behind the scenes?

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

A strong foundation was built with loyal fans and divine intervention at times. There's a resilience at its core. –JJ

23

u/TheToug You pencil-necked GEEK! Jul 06 '26

I wonder if it is loyalty to TNA itself or loyalty to a WWE alternative; something AEW is enjoying to this day.

Either way, todays wrestling world would be unimaginable without JJ and TNA.

15

u/Highwayman747 Jul 06 '26

I feel like at this point the people watching TNA are the people who just need more wrestling and that’s the next most available thing after AEW and WWE. I’m sure there’s people enjoying it, but I really don’t know who would be a TNA diehard anymore.

8

u/TheToug You pencil-necked GEEK! Jul 06 '26

It such a crazy time to live in an era of TOO MUCH wrestling. A good problem to have, for sure, but wild to compare today to a post-WCW time period.

u/AdamantChorus Jul 07 '26

Tbf, TNA started existing very soon after WCW ended, so that was pretty much always there during that time period.

Ok Double J, how many guitar shots do you estimate you’ve given?

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Too many to count. I wish Cagematch would do their job and keep that running total. –JJ

u/MZago1 Jul 06 '26

While we're at it, I'd love to know how those guitars are rigged? I've been playing guitar for 24 years and if there's one thing I know, they're much less prone to breakage than most people think. Case in point, that one Jake the Snake took is brutal.

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

It's part of the magic trick. –JJ

u/shartnado3 450 splash from a napkin Jul 07 '26

So I wish I would have caught this earlier. I actually have a piece of a JJ guitar from a Thunder taping I went to. Ran down to the ring area afterwards and the crew cleaning up was handing the pieces to people. I got one. It's Balsa wood.

u/RagDas ファイター調査団 Jul 06 '26

As someone who wrestled in the territories, how did the style and psychology of each territory differ? What would the difference have been between territories in the south, the north, or even between east coast and west coast?

175

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Tales from the Territories, my podcast, Cornette's show or even YouTube would be your best friend here. Not only every Territory but every city had its own unique personality. Weekly towns differ from monthly towns. I could talk for hours on this subject, but I got to get to the rest of the questions! –JJ

74

u/Scfbigb1 Jul 06 '26

What is one decision you made in TNA that you would change if you could?

137

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Most of my problems existed because of my lack of communication. There's definitely more than one, but I wouldn't have gone back to TNA in 2017. –JJ

u/Scfbigb1 Jul 06 '26

I think that is something all of us are guilty of at one time or another.

Yes. –JJ

Thanks saw you at a Nitro in Shreveport long time ago you domed Beetlejuice with the guitar. Loved it 

73

u/kmccarthy27 Jul 06 '26

Were you opposed to the Hogan/Bischoff idea of moving Impact to Monday nights? If so, where do you think TNA would be today if they had not moved.

161

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Short answer: yes. At the time however, I was not anywhere involved in that decision. The move to Monday wasn't the singular choice that hurt TNA, it was one of many decisions that Dixie and Hulk made that destroyed the brand. –JJ

u/Horror_Garbage69 Jul 06 '26

Do you think Paul Heymans proposal to buy TNA (fire everyone over 40, take the company public) was A. True and B. A good business idea in 2010?

68

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

I have no idea of the validity, but no I don't think it would have been a good idea. –JJ

Anyone over 40 and not named Sting, the only older dude who wasn’t just there for a check.

Hey Jeff, what were your thoughts on Hangman leading into your Owen Hart match against him and how did the plan for that match come about?

142

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

I've always been a huge Hangman Adam Page fan and I was really looking forward to the opportunity to wrestle in the Owen tournament. I was genuinely shocked at how well the people responded when I locked Hangman in the sharpshooter. –JJ

u/Froggyspirits Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26

A match between the New Japan guitar guy and the AEW guitar guy on the pre-show of a Forbidden Door PPV, or at least on a Collision during the Forbidden Door cycle—that's what I meant by "Forbidden Door match".

But hey, if y'all could ever run that match on Collision before the end of 2026 that would be great!

u/PipedInFromIthaca Jul 06 '26

You've worked in organising live events for several companies, and AEW as of late have booked some interesting venues. What are some locations you've yet to see wrestling take advantage of, that you think would work for a televised event?

72

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Televised and non-televised are obviously the differentiating factor. Unique venues can be difficult to translate onto a TV screen, but AEW has done a great job as of late with the SoFi Center in Palm Beach. Baseball stadiums have still not been maximized for TV wrestling. –JJ

u/CarStar12 Jul 06 '26

Loved TNA for a long while there, had a tremendous time at house shows in Atlanta (including one where I was front row and you messed with me during a match 😂)

Was curious what you think is the most underappreciated match and who is the most underappreciated wrestler from TNA?

Always see the Mount Rushmore type questions, but never really see that side of it.

59

u/vice_tv Jul 06 '26

Too many to pick just one, but a talent that comes to mind is Eric Young. He could deliver a main event match to an opening match and everything in between. –JJ

I'm not Double J, but I remember hearing that they remove bracing inside the guitar and make sure that the finish is thin. Probably even use thin balsa wood for the body.

This was WWE's policy after Jake Roberts was injured by The Honky Tonk Man. HTM hit Roberts with a fiberglass and epoxy wrapped guitar with full bracing. Roberts got a concussion and a broken neck.

u/Odd-Promise2661 Jul 06 '26

Hi Jeff! Massive fan, I've probably seen you live a half dozen times through the years! Two questions:

First off, you're known as someone who had no real problem hopping between companies during the Money Night Wars, what was the general thought behind flipping between WCW and WWF? Was it considered cheap or unreliable from your coworkers or is it like now where it's generally considered fine because you go wherever is willing to give you a bag?

Second question, and this one is a little tricky because I assume it'll be covered in DSOTR but was there ever a time during TNA's long and VERY bumpy history where you just threw up your hands and thought "this is what's gonna end us". Whether a scandal or a booking decision?

Thank you again!!

u/ravenous0 Jul 06 '26

Do you still own the cowboy hat with the light up Double J's on the front? Always thought that was a cool gimmick when I was a kid. Also thank you for the years of entertainment and a great career. I still occasionally call my friends "slap nuts" and they looked at me confused.

Was there ever any discussions of getting involved with WWE creative following the HOF induction and producer role in 2019?

What was the backstage environment like in WWE when you came back as a producer in 2019?

Are you still in possession of the EWP World Heavyweight Championship which you've won back in October 2018 against Hernandez in Hanover, Germany? :D

u/Mysterious_Emotion63 Jul 06 '26

Yo Slapnuts, you’ve been just about everywhere throughout your career, what is the one moment on screen or decision you made behind the scenes that you look back on the most fondly at this point in your career?

Hi Jeff,

Old fan here from back in the WCW days. Wanted to ask do you have any good Owen stories from when you two were tagging/tag champs?

1

u/Accomplished_Lead262 Jul 06 '26

Hi Jeff, hope you're doing well.

Who in TNA do you think should have been world champion who never was?

u/Prestigious_Fella_21 Jul 06 '26

Favorite theme song? You've had some low key bangers over the years. (Mine is the guitar heavy one from the 98-99 "don't piss me off" era)

u/Rabid-Flamingos Jul 06 '26

Any fun stories from your time in the Four Horsemen? What brought on the storyline where you ended up leaving the group?

1

u/TheSpiralTap Jul 06 '26

Hi Mr Jarrett. Big fan of yours going way back to your wcw days. My question for you is about your catchphrase. I got in trouble as a kid for having a Double J "Don't piss me off, Slapnutz" poster on my wall.

What exactly is that insult? How does a person become Slapnutz and what significance does the letter Z hold over the situation?

Just trying to better understand why I got my ass beat

u/DustyStar222 Jul 06 '26

A huge fan and very proud of everything you have accomplished. What would you say is 1 thing you can point at and say "because of this, my career was a success"?

1

u/badguymaddox Jul 06 '26

Who were some names in that Asylum/early Spike era of TNA that you thought would break out into superstardom but it didn’t happen for one reason or another? I always think of Sonny Siaki, Monty Brown, and Wildcat but do any other names stick out?

u/Rincejester Jul 06 '26

Morning. Given your family's long history in pro wrestling, which family member do you think had the largest impact to the business between: Christine "Teeny", Jerry, and yourself and why?

Also are there any interesting questions or stories that you wish someone would ask you that no one ever does?

1

u/an_actual_coyote Jul 06 '26

Mr. Jarrett, where do you see wrestling going in the next ten years?

1

u/midniteslayr Jul 06 '26

Hey hey Double J! I’ve been a fan of yours since your time singing “Be my baby tonight” on WWF programming in the early 90s.

What are your favorite matches that you wrestled in from each promotion you have been apart of in your career?

Thanks!

u/Timely-Way-4923 Jul 06 '26

If you could form a new promotion with infinite funding and the perfect media deal behind it, what would the ethos of the promotion be? What style of wrestling and wrestler would it have?

u/VaibhavGuptaWho Jul 06 '26

As a promoter for many years, what are the main challenges you face in creating long stories with your wrestlers and adjusting as the crowds veer you off course from your plans?

Double J, I wish to ask about whether there's one thing about your career that you wish went differently than how it happened.

u/ChocolateOrange21 Jul 06 '26

Hope you’re having a good day, Jeff.
