Speaking on a recent edition of his “My World” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett discussed his future in the wrestling business and eventual retirement. Jarrett has been working behind the scenes and on-screen for AEW.
Jarrett, who is 56 years old and has been in the wrestling business since the 1980s, said the following,
“Honestly, I have not [thought about retirement]. I don’t, I truly don’t. We’ve said this. Rewind to even 2018, when I did the Royal Rumble and did a couple of things before I went into my full-time with those guys. I even thought in my head, I thought okay, that’s probably it. Maybe a cameo here and there, but I thought that. That’s six years ago. It’s crazy. So I would have never dreamed, Ric’s Flair’s last match, how all that rolled out. Would have never dreamed that. So I definitely have no idea. Don’t give it any thought. I used to take things one year at a time. Now I just kind of take it a day at a time. I’m enjoying the hell [out of] what I’m doing. I think we, the group, it is an unusual group that has a dynamic that I’ve really never been a part of. Satnam, he is truly one-in-a-billion, and Jay’s skill set, Karen’s skill set, Sonjay’s skill set, it’s a unique package. We can be in a single, you can take any three of us, Jay was in the Continental Classic tournament just fine. You can take Satnam and give him a single run. You can give me the one-offs like I’ve done against Orange Cassidy or the Texas Chainsaw. You can tag me and Jay up, and I think you can tag me and Satnam up, or Jay and Satnam up and let me manage. Just the climate in 2024, I think we’re diverse, and can plug and play just about anywhere. We did a flaming tables match on Collision. So no, I really don’t give it any thought.”
