why hasn't jeff jarrett hosed off forever already, did anyone in the span of his WCW/WWF/TNA career actually give a gently caress about him? I can't think of a single memorable thing he did besides constantly thinking he was hot poo poo. he's a C-Tier wrestler and a poo poo-tier promoter

Jarret is fine as a upper mid-carder, he's just not a main eventer.

Yeah jeff honestly isn't bad as a mid-card heel and most of his in-ring work is fine, but he should absolutely not be on top of a company

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Jeff Jarrett helped launch a wrestling promotion that's been alive and on national television (for the most part) since 2002 and has somehow stayed alive by hook or by crook in a landscape where many others have failed. Now he's here again to take his creation back and soar to unfathomable hates. Stop the hate.

I'm the exact opposite - if Jarrett were to give Grado the Stroke into a pile of thumbtacks I'd watch every TNA show from now until they finally go under.

In a little fairness to TNA, nitro was on a massive cable channel, even compared to Spike.

No he wasn't, his upper mid carder career was mostly boring and awful. He had a good feud with Angle with some funny MMA skits.

The actual consistently funny upper mid card act was Lex Luger who was loving hilarious as a heel in 1995-6 and 1999. People must just confuse blondes.

whiteyfats posted:

The difference in ratings between the lowest Nitro and best Impact is .3-.4 depending how you round. Near the end Nitro was regularly doing a 2.1, TNA's best run had some regular 1.3s, so it's not even close to double even if you take out the outliers.

Drawing a huge Rumble buyrate after Directv pulled out and a million buys vs Batista = NEVER A DRAW.

quote:

In an interview with Newsweek, Jeff Jarrett and Impact Wrestling President Ed Nordholm spoke about trying to rebuild TNA after the recent troubles the promotion has had. Here are highlights:

Jarrett on TNA’s issues under Dixie Carter last year: “It was a black-eye on the industry. It wasn’t fruitful for anyone—whether you’re a fan of, a wrestler, an employee. It was a really ugly, unfortunate situation. It wasn’t good for the industry.”

Nordholm on Dixie Carter’s not being involved going forward: “The buck has to stop someplace. The reality is the company got into a dire position and she was CEO. There was never any question [she wouldn’t be involved in the day-to-day operations], but not out of any particular animosity. If we’re going to invest…we’re owner-operators, we’re not passive investors. If we’re going to own it, we’re going to own it.”

Popular culture has passed you by.
Does the wrestling industry in general give a single poo poo about TNA? They seemed to be in their own little microcosm of terribleness for years now, it's like saying Troma affects the movie business except that Troma is good.

TNA hasn't been relevant since getting punted off Spike. It has one hot product in the Hardy Family but have no ability to turn it into money because of how their schedule works (while Matt and Jeff are probably making a killing).
