Rob Wolkenbrod of dailyddt.com recently interviewed Jeff Jarrett, who hyped his new Golbal Force Wrestling promotion and the upcoming Wrestle Kingdom 9 PPV on January 4, 2015. Below are some interview highlights:
Why he left WWE for WCW:
“During those times they were called the Monday Night Wars. I went to WCW for a year and back and it was just because there were better offers on the table contractually.”
His experiences with Vince McMahon:
“He has no fears; he’s the best marketer and promoter the business has ever seen, his track record speaks for itself. He went national after purchasing his father’s business in the 80’s and he just went about it in the best way possible. He’s a smart guy, a workaholic and even though he’ll make you work hard, too, he’ll reward you very well. I respect him as much as anyone.”
His all-time favorite match:
“I had a series of matches against Shawn Michaels in the 90s that I’m proud of. Just three or four years ago I had a lot of great matches against Kurt Angle. Earlier in my career I had some tag matches with Jerry Lawler that were a completely different style than today. Really early in my career, I had some matches against Curt Henning that were very, very special. It would be hard to nail down just one though.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
