Jeff Jarrett: There’s More Opportunity Today In Pro Wrestling, The Possibilities Are Endless

Jeff Jarrett talks about today’s wrestling.

Compared to the way it was back in the day of other legends. Pro Wrestling has not seen the big boom it’s had in quite some time, and with social media and companies finding new ways to bring in more fans and keep the ones they’ve had, it has become more evident that today’s pro wrestling has an endless amount of opportunities for talent, including Jeff Jarrett who opened up about this subject recently.

“Without question, the opportunities that exist today. I believe there’s more opportunity today in professional wrestling. I know that’s a very broad [statement], but whether it’s promoting shows, running shows, action figures, video games, streaming opportunities, the almighty social media strategy that continues to evolve, you can just kind of look — I don’t care if it’s CMLL, AAA, New Japan, other promotions in Japan that are popping up, UK. India opportunity is the last frontier I’d say in a lot of ways. The possibilities are endless and that is something that I am well aware of. In 2002, launching TNA, yeah there was an opportunity but I mean it was such a different path. 2013, when I resigned from TNA, there was opportunity but it was still, I think the business was just in a different place. Fast forward eleven years later, the landscape, entertainment is very very different. The music business is different, look at Amazon Prime and Apple and Netflix and linear television and everything goes with it. The world of professional wrestling, there’s never been more opportunity in this business then there is today and that is absolutely what I’m most excited about.”

Jarrett and the AEW roster have been looking to save the company from the full takeover of the Blackpool Combat Club.
