Jeff Jarrett explains his shot at The Monster Of All Monsters.
WWE Hall of Famer and AEW talent Jeff Jarrett’s opinions were featured on a recent edition of his My World podcast. On AEW Dynamite, he addressed his recent comments where he took shots at Triple H, Braun Strowman, and WWE.
I love the industry because if you’re not into social media, that’s The Last Outlaw just kind of taking a dig at a blanket statement of big men in wrestling and red skinny jeans, just an outfit and a circus and all that. Here is a legitimate megastar from India. In my mind is, ‘How am I going to put this guy over,’ but also, you call it old school heat, get a reaction, be the antagonist, and put this guy over.
I had no idea about Braun and showing up late. I didn’t know any of that, but I was aware of him being kind of, I don’t know if it’s naive or whatever you want to call it, when he takes a shot at the ‘flippy flop’ stuff. It’s almost tone-deaf. In 2022, when you look at the landscape of all of pro wrestling, you want to resonate with your audience. Hats off, I think Corey Graves made a great statement that Braun is happy that him and Omos had a great match.
At the same time, he didn’t put just one, he put both feet in his mouth and is knocking ‘flippy flop,’ which I take offense to because this industry, whether it’s the X-Division or Lucha Libre or whatever, if we don’t have a diversity of genres and styles of wrestling, it’s a different appetite. For him to take a shot at it, I thought, ‘here’s a perfect opportunity to draw an analogy, and Braun, whether he’s a former softball player or strongman, he’s got some accolades, but he’s certainly not a NBA player.

Jeff Jarrett again called himself The Last Outlaw, which may have some heat with Dustin Rhodes. Let’s see what Jeff has in store for us next in AEW, but it is surely to be an exciting time in the company.
