Jeff Jarrett Interview: "My World" Success, Starting In Podcasting, TNA Stars In WWE & More

Were you surprised by the recent nomination?

Jarrett: I told Karen this morning. To get nominated, are you kidding me? It blows me away. We did a podcast movement here in Nashville and I got to see some of the data on how many podcasts are actually done and it blew me away.

What were your thoughts on getting your own action figure with Conrad Thompson as part of Major Bendies?

Jarrett: It's so cool. I'm partners with a gaming company and I'm not necessarily a tried-and-true gamer. I'm also not an action figure collector so to speak, but I've been around the game and seen the business side of both for years. Brian and Matt are good friends of mine and we collaborated on that and they approached me on that.

There's two bendables of me that go with the different eras. When I saw the prototype of Conrad, it crystallized to me that there's My World in action figure form. It was cool. Conrad and I have done ad reads and the success off of that and the feedback and all the good stuff that's come out of that, but when you see action figures of the two hosts of "My World", it's pretty cool and we're excited about it.
