Jerry Jarrett meeting with WWE Officials
 
What's up with Jerry Jarrett meeting with WWE officials? Is he no longer working for TNA? Is TNA going under? This is weird as shit.

The Naitch 10-28-2005 01:24 PM

Booker T looks pissed

TerranRich 10-28-2005 01:26 PM

What the fuck? This is interesting.

blake639raw 10-28-2005 01:32 PM

I hope this isn't some kind of "working arrangement" between TNA and WWE. It might get them some exposure, but Vince will shit all over them. Besides, they don't need his help. He's the motherfucking antichrist of pro wrestling.

LK 10-28-2005 01:34 PM

...and he was not alone. This could be interesting to say the least.

Jarrett: Oh god, Vince and HHH, please help us. TNA needs a glass ceiling, Jeff is running wild!

Jaton 10-28-2005 01:45 PM

Lame, I know. A for effort?

Pepsi Man 10-28-2005 01:49 PM

What the fuck?!

TerranRich 10-28-2005 01:56 PM

Booker T: He isn't here. TELL ME he is not really here!

LK 10-28-2005 02:06 PM

There's a new Striker promo there as well, which I thought was pretty good.

Vince McMahon is pro wrestling. No matter what way you look at it.

Yeah, I know. But that doesn't change the fact that he's a no good, heartless, son of a bitch with no fucking scruples.

wow, don't know what to even think here. I'm changing the Title of this thread cause I would of never come in here if I didn't see the news on another site

loopydate 10-28-2005 03:31 PM

This is weird. This is like Russo-meeting-with-WCW weird.

Loose Cannon 10-28-2005 03:31 PM

I'm thinking it has something to do with thier wrestling library. Probably some of the Memphis footage they want now.

Kane Knight 10-28-2005 04:09 PM

Where's Shadow when we need him?

Anyway, TNA really isn't doing so hot. Besides, how long can it last built around "Slapnuts?"

Boondock Saint 10-28-2005 04:43 PM

Interesting.

Mr. Nerfect 10-28-2005 04:45 PM

It is probably the Memphis footage, but I hope it is something more. Wrestling needs competition, but I like it when things get shaken up.

Maybe if they actually kept TNA, RAW & SmackDown! seperate, but under the WWE banner, things could get pretty interesting. Hell, I can easily see TNA becomming a cruiserweight show while all TNA's heavyweights get brought up to RAW & SmackDown!.

It won't happen, though.

PullMyFinger 10-28-2005 05:02 PM

Maybe he'll give away the Memphis footage for trademark rights? New Age Outlaws, and other future shit like that?

That seems to be the most probable explanation, and it would make sense. It would benefit both sides.

Disturbed316 10-28-2005 05:34 PM

Holy shit.

That would be bloody smart on the part of TNA, sadly I cant see TNA relenting and doing it or WWE accepting it because it would mean givintg TNA an inch.

Vince has an eye on TNA and this will be very interesting, although I highly doubt a WWE takeover is on the cards. Perhaps Jerry will sell his percentage in TNA though in return for a Jarrett WWE return. It's certainly interesting and very puzzling news, although odds are it is just about the Memphis archives.



- Edit - Jeepers I finnaly hit 1,000 posts, only took me like 3-4 years.

Innovator 10-28-2005 05:37 PM

Jerry Jarrett isn't really powerful backstage I guess anymore, AND I read that if McMahon got indicted in 1994 for the Steroids Trial, Jarrett was the one tapped to take over.......verrrrry interesting

LK 10-28-2005 05:53 PM

Apparently Jeff is with him although I do say apparently

Right here laughing my ass off as you clowns finnally see the truth.

Kane Knight 10-28-2005 06:34 PM

Sorry, a retarded conspiracy theory with no proof possibly panning out by dumb luck does NOT equal you being right or us "seeing the truth."

Kane Knight 10-28-2005 06:35 PM

E.G. You're guessing, so if you get it right, it's hardly grounds to gloat. :)

Jarrett doesn't own the Memphis footage anymore.

The story is he was there to negotiate with WWE for a big Russian he was representing, but at the meeting, made it clear he was unhappy with TNA. Virtually nobody, and that includes the people closest to Jeff, were aware he was going. The "other guy" that the WWE web site doesn't say but wants everyone to believe was Jeff, would have been the Russian, whose name we're not aware of. The way the story is being slipped out on the internet is a very public FU to TNA from WWE, and no doubt, Jerry perhaps even more, knowing it'll shake everyone up. To say people in TNA are pretty furious at Jerry for how he played this game would be an understatement.


Xero 10-28-2005 06:54 PM

First of all, how much power does Jerry still have in TNA? Does he still own it?

And why, IF he owns it, is he selling his libraries to WWE? Wouldn't it be smarter to keep them and market them himself through TNA? That just doesn't make sense to me...

Jarrett brings mountain of a man to WWE
Oct. 28, 2005

Longtime wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett met with WWE officials this morning in Stamford, Conn., and he was not alone.

By Jarrett's side throughout his meetings with Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis (Vice President of Talent Relations for WWE) was a 6-foot-6, 310 pound monster of a man called Oleg Prudius.

"I know they were both impressed with Oleg, as is anyone that meets him," said Jarrett as he left WWE Headquarters Friday afternoon. "He's an exceptional person and a special athlete."

So with Jarrett's backing, is Prudius on his way to WWE Superstardom?

"He's a future prospect who is very interested in WWE," said Laurinaitis after meeting with Jarrett and Prudius. "He comes from a very highly-regarded amateur background. And hopefully, if things work out on both sides, we can maybe do business together."

Be sure to check back here for more information on this potential Superstar.

It was just a Hoss oragsm today I suppose

There is proof. Most of which is buried like Wil Wheaton's carrear.

PullMyFinger 10-28-2005 09:08 PM

Well, anyhow, it doesn't matter. I read once in the past, and one of the moderators on the TNA board (take it for what you will though) stated that the Carter family have the first and last rights to purchase the shares from Jarretts.

PullMyFinger 10-28-2005 09:21 PM

Also...this is another reason why I say technically speaking...WWE and TNA are in a war somewhat.

This was all purely Vince trying to put down TNA, and making it look like shite. In my opinion, it worked somewhat. Also, if Jerry doesn't want to be part of TNA, then he can sell his portions to the Carters then since like I said, they have the first and last rights to purchasing it.

However, this is why Vince is at the top of the wrestling world...all these games is what made him the #1 guy that he is today.

Yes. Proof of a megaconspiracy that amounts to Bigfoot sightings.
