During the latest episode of his “My World with Jeff Jarrett” podcast, AEW’s Director of Business Development, Jeff Jarrett shared his enthusiastic response to the premiere of AEW Collision. Jarrett emphasized the impact of a new show and set, expressing his awe at the impressive visuals both on television and in person. The electric atmosphere at the United Center, one of his favorite venues, added to the excitement. Double J said,
“As we have said many, many times on the program, creative is subjective. Wrestling is objective. Some folks don’t like to call it art, but professional wrestling is professional wrestling is professional wrestling, but one thing that, to me, is as real as it gets, is that when there’s a new show and a new set, and man, did it look off-the-charts-good, I think it looked more impressive there in the building. Yes, it looked great on TV, but live, it was just unbelievably awesome. The vibe in the United Center, one of my favorite venues all time.”
JJ acknowledged that while professional wrestling is scripted entertainment, there was a genuine sense of heightened competition within AEW, with the addition of two hours on Saturday nights to complement the Wednesday night programming. He believed that this increased competition would benefit both shows, adhering to the notion that a rising tide lifts all ships. He said,
“But yes, we’re scripted entertainment, but something that was real in the air that I love in professional wrestling is the competitive juices have turned up a notch in AEW, and I think that is an absolute great think. I’m not talking about any one thing. It is, when you have two hours on Wednesday night and now two hours on Saturday night, there’s a bit of a competitive nature within the brand, and I think the old saying ‘rising tide lifts all ships,” I think it’s gonna help both shows. I’ll just say that. I’m pumped, man. I am so excited for Collision to get off the ground and keep on rolling. You don’t always bat a thousand, but out of the gate, I thought Collision knocked it out of the park. Kudos to all the in-ring dudes who laced it up, and gals.”
Jarrett’s anticipation for the continued success of Collision was evident, and he commended the performers for their outstanding performances in the ring.
