Jeff Jarrett was never particularly interested in looking back at his career until Conrad Thompson, a renowned podcast host, persisted in asking him to join the podcast space. Through the podcast, Jarrett has been able to look back at his career and reflect on it from both a performer and promoter perspective.
While Jarrett has not always been a fan favorite, that perception has changed with “My World with Jeff Jarrett,” which proves that listeners have come to appreciate Jarrett’s unique perspective on professional wrestling.
On a recent episode of the Wrestling Perspective podcast, Jarrett revealed how people’s reaction towards him has changed courtesy of his podcast.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On people changing their minds about him do to the podcast: “I do find it fascinating launching the podcast, they’re like, ‘I had no idea Jeff did this, this or that. I had no idea what his viewpoint [is]. I’ll see often on Twitter, ‘I used to hate I grew up hating Jeff Jarrett’ and I’m thinking, ‘yes.’ That was kind of by design too.”
On having a chance to tell his own story on the podcast: “I used to have three to five minutes on Saturday morning at Memphis TV that would bicycle around. That was really my only exposure to the fan base and then [I’d] go wrestle live. You didn’t have any personal [window]. Now with social media, I’m at the gym, go Instagram live or whatever it may be, I can connect with the fan base instantly. That’s huge.”
