Jeff Jarrett Discusses Returning To Universal Studios
That was the time when WWE was going through its worst time period and it was not easy for Jeff Jarrett to adjust with the style of the promotion. In 1996 Jarrett left WWE for their rival promotion World Championship Wrestling.
But he did not continue his WCW Run for long as he returned to WWE after just one year. In 1997 Jarrett return to WWE as a solid mid card. He won a handful of titles including the WWE intercontinental championship and the Tag Team Championship for a number of times.
After WWE bought WCW, the owner of WWE Vince McMahon decided not to keep Jeff Jarrett in WWE and he publicly fired him. Jarrett then formed his own professional wrestling promotion, and named it Total Nonstop Action aka TNA wrestling.
He remained the boss of TNA Wrestling for over a decade and he parted his ways with the promotion in 2014. He made his return to WWE back in 2018 as he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He worked as a backstage producer in WWE and after a number of broken spells in WWE, once again he departed from the promotion in August, 2022 and joined AEW for the first time.
Jeff Jarrett who is a former four times WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on his My World podcast where he talked about his returning to Universal Studios for All Elite Wrestling Dark Tapings. He said;
“I had a little time to reflect, it was really cool on Saturday morning. Flew down to Orlando, how many times have I done that? Getting in the car, going to Universal Studios, and how many times I’ve done that in my life. Folks will see the outcome in front of the camera, Tuesday night on Dark, me and a gentleman by the name of Satnam Singh, who I found out wears a size 23, 24, 25 shoe. That’s a big foot.
“Me and Satnam, I make my premiere on Dark. Universal Studios, obviously a long history. It was surreal. It was one of those special moments. From a personal point of view, I’ll call it my day job with AEW, a lot of exciting things, we’ll talk more about that in 2023. To get the opportunity and see some of the faces. I pulled up to the guard shack, still in the car, and getting my bag out.
“A gentleman walked over to the car, and I couldn’t see him. The first words he said, ‘Hey, where is Karen?’ I recognized the voice. There were so many faces that I got to see that I hadn’t seen in five years. The last time I was there was 2017. Folks I’ve been working with since 2005. It’s cool. The parks are still going on. I remember the cool nights in the winter in Orlando. We had a Dark taping there, and as far as me personally, getting to see all kinds of folks that I hadn’t seen in years and years, it was special. Just a cool experience.
“Something that, at this stage in my career, I do not take for granted, and I think we’ve all taken for granted certain things in our lives and you don’t even think about when you’re doing it, but the relationships, we were down there every other week for years. The relationships we’ve built. They ask about Karen, the kids, and they remember them by name. These are all, not AEW employees, but Universal Studios and freelancers. It was a cool deal,”
