• Jeff Jarrett Says WWF Legend Never Being World Champion Is A “Head Scratcher”
On an episode of his weekly ‘My World’ podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett talking about signing fellow WWF/WCW Legend Scott Hall for TNA’s debut PPV in 2002.
Here’s what Double J had to say about ‘Razor Ramon’:
“I don’t recall exactly but my gut tells me I would’ve reached out to him. The Jeff Jarrett/Razor Ramon relationship was pretty deep and travelled a lot of miles with him and all that.
When he became available, I definitely remember I was super excited. I think to this day for him not to have been a World Champion, to me is sort of a head scratcher.
He had it all. I was very excited and my dad and him always had a great relationship, I was very excited to get the opportunity to have him on board.
Me and Scott were, ‘Scott, we’re not talking about locking you up, you know creatively what I think about you, we’re going to take care of you.’ He wanted to know what I was doing, and I was like, ‘Dude, trust me.’ We knew each other, I was going to take care of him creatively and here’s the dates and here’s the money.”
We also recently reported that Jarrett also tried to sign legends like The Ultimate Warrior, Chyna, Ken Shamrock, Randy Savage and several other names to TNA in 2002.
