Backstage News On Why Jeff Jarrett Is Working With TNA
Loaning TNA talent to GFW as part of the deal.
Jeff Jarrett's working with TNA Wrestling again because TNA has agreed to send some talent to Global Force Wrestling's TV tapings on July 24, according to PWInsider. From TNA's side, they get to bring a former top guy in Jarrett back into the mix and will likely be inducting him into their Hall of Fame this year. The deal for Jarrett to return to TNA really came together within the last week, reports Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline. It wasn't finalized until Wednesday, just hours before Jarrett returned to TNA for the first time in about 18 months. It was also noted by Meltzer that the morale of the wrestlers in TNA wasn't good and that they felt like the company wasn't being honest with them. Management already had major credibility issues with talent due to some of them being paid late. Most of the talent, including Kurt Angle, had no idea that Jarrett was even there until five minutes before Jarrett did his promo. A big TNA name that appears to be working the GFW taping in Las Vegas is former World Champion Magnus. There will likely be some other names announced for it officially soon. There's no TV deal yet, but Jarrett has hinted that there will be something announced in the near future. Jarrett's competing in the King of the Mountain match at TNA Slammiversary this Sunday. The match has been built up very poorly because they didn't even announce the names of the other competitors on television. They were announced on ImpactWrestling.com as Eric Young, Bobby Roode, Eric Young and Drew Galloway.
