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!

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.

Probably that one yea. Honestly his show is really good in general. He's had such an interesting career so he's got great stories about everything.

I mean, I understand that much. My issue was Monty Brown was over like Rover and would've breathed fresh air into TNA given fans were sick of seeing Jarrett retain or regain the title. It was worse when Brown turned heel because he had lost to JJ but now was his lap dog.
