9. What Will His Role Be?

No one is sure at this time if Jeff -- or Karen for that matter -- will play any part in GFW outside of founding and running it. There€™s always the chance they could have on-air roles -- whether as authority figures, public relations ambassadors, or as active competitors. Good ole J-E-Double F is a well respected figure within the wrestling world, who possesses a wealth of experience and knowledge both inside the ring and behind the curtain. The Jarrett name has been associated with sports entertainment for decades dating back to Jerry€™s running of the Memphis territory in the €˜70s. (Even before that, Jerry Jarrett briefly competed as a wrestler and worked as a referee -- in all honesty, his roots within the wrestling world began when he was just seven years old handing out programs during local matches.) Jeff€™s great deal of history within the world of sports entertainment definitely lends credence to his new promotion€™s potential. Because of his expertise and experience, it may be a smart choice for Jarrett to climb between the ropes. Beyond a role as an active competitor, there are numerous other on-air positions that Jeff would be quite adept in. He could also be potentially well placed as a booker or creative team member. However, only time will tell if Double J decides to enter the squared circle or simply work behind the curtain.
