I wasn’t aware of that part of the story. If that’s the case, he’s immediately run to another promotion and just shrugged off that advice, which is his prerogative, but a bit of a warning sign.

He's just come off a run as manager of live events for WWE and into a similar role with AEW, so as they start increasing the number of house shows they run and regions they run in, he has the experience, the knowledge and the contacts to help that run smoothly - that was a dealbreaker for WCW turning business around, getting someone on board who actually knew the live events business.
If they're set on breaking India, Jarrett has the experience there with Ring Ka King to help them. If they want to strengthen relationships with AAA, here's Jeff Jarrett. Expand local outreach and charity programs? Jeff Jarrett. He's a fantastic backstage signing.

There’s plenty of smart people in AEW that could have value backstage. They’ve had JR and Arn Anderson signed since the beginning. But it’s like hiring college professors to teach kindergarten.
