There have been many fans wanting pro-wrestling to feel more “real” than it has the past few years and there is not a situation that is more real than the rivalry between Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle. It’s been a big role in the career of Kurt Angle since he walked in the door in TNA Wrestling. Angle and Jarrett seemingly have never nor will ever see eye to eye which isn’t a good combination. But, the real turning point in this situation is when you factor in: Karen Jarrett, the former Mrs. Karen Angle. Yeah… it just got real… damn real.

MrTheShelldon’s Impact From iMPACT!
Filed Under: Shows , April 16, 2011 By
I’m back and this time I’m only doing one impact from iMPACT! I want to put all my focus on the best segment of the show.
Okay I’m not going to lie, but I did not watch much of Impact this week. However, what I did see was the six man tag. I thought it gave three single matches some well needed exposure; especially Hernandez and Morgan. The Mexican America storyline is slowly growing on me. It’s no LAX but it’s doing its job of exploiting some cheap heat, which is what wrestling heels were built on.
The Angle vs. Jarrett match is the match I’m most looking forward to, and the fact that there hasn’t been much interaction between the two makes me looks forward to it even more. Seeing them both compete in the same match, beating on each other just builds the tension.
Samoa Joe and The Pope needs a lot of help TNA has dropped the ball on this one. They could have done a lot more. The concept they are pushing on TV is Street vs. Submission. Does this mean that it’s a street fight and a submission match? I’m unsure. And while we are talking about ball dropping, where is Okado? One match and one backstage segment and he is gone?
So this is why this match became my number one impact from iMPACT!
TNA History: The Begining
Filed Under: General , April 9, 2011 By
“Our show fills a void currently in the marketplace. With its fast paced storylines and Total Nonstop Action, we will give fans, as well as those who might have topped watching wrestling in the past year, a new entertainment experience.” – Jeff Jarrett, May 9, 2002 Press Release announcing NWA Total Nonstop Action.
The news hit the wire (Internet sites) on March 11, 2002 that Jeff Jarrett and his father, Jerry, were set to launch a new national wrestling promotion and had reached a deal with In Demand to air weekly pay per views (PPV) at $9.95 a show. It was a new concept in PPV television that they hoped would revolutionize the wrestling and PPV industries. The idea was based on the premise that there was a certain group of wrestling fans that were dying for an alternative to the WWE (formerly WWF) and would be willing to spend their money every week to do so. It was a very risky proposition since PPV buy rates have been down at the time, but the Jarrett’s were believers. Each weekly show was scheduled to run approximately one hour and forty-five minutes in length and air live one week and taped the next. The Jarrett’s believed that they would need roughly 50,000 buys per week in order to break even and stay in business.

There is one man that we can all thank for TNA Wrestling and that man is, Jeff Jarrett. If it wasn’t for Jeff Jarrett we wouldn’t be here talking about TNA Wrestling and I wouldn’t still be a wrestling fan at this point. Jeff Jarrett has seen highs and lows inside along with outside of the ring. TNA released their first four disc set dedicated to Jeff Jarrett featuring a documentary and his best matches from the seven years of TNA Wrestling. My review is right after the break!

“I have unfinished business here in Japan. I want to win the IWGP title again. I also have unfinished business in the United States. The only title I’ve never won is the NWA World Heavyweight Title.” – Hulk Hogan, October 13, 2003. Post Match News Conference for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
“I was getting ready to go to TNA, was hoping of working with Jarrett and those guys, and giving Vince (McMahon) a run for his money one more time.” – Hulk Hogan, December 2006 Main Event Radio
As October 2003 rolled around, TNA had a plan for their first ever three hour pay per view. Jeff Jarrett was working feverishly behind the scenes to bring in the biggest name in wrestling history to TNA, Hulk Hogan. The two sides began talks in September and had come to a preliminary deal to work together on a three hour pay per view event scheduled for November 30. The show would be headlined by Jeff Jarrett defending the NWA World Heavyweight title against Hulk Hogan in a rematch of the 2000 Bash at the Beach match for WCW in which Jarrett laid down for Hogan and Hogan was then publicly fired by Vince Russo. The match had an immediate back story, immediate heat, and immediate appeal to wrestling fans.

TNA History: Jarrett vs Killings, The Match That Changed TNA
Filed Under: General , January 19, 2011 By
November 20, 2002: Up until this point in TNA’s existence, Jeff Jarrett had kept himself busy feuding with Scott Hall, BG James and Curt Hennig. Jarrett made sure fans knew that he was chasing the NWA World title, but he had yet to get a match for the belt. After what many considered a failed run by Ron “The Truth” Killings as NWA champion, TNA held a short tournament to decide who would be the next challenger to face Killings for the title. After three weeks of tournament matches, Jeff Jarrett finally became the number one contender. Here is how he got to the finals:
October 30, 2002: Jeff Jarrett pinned Curt Hennig
November 6, 2002: Jeff Jarrett defeated Curt Hennig by Disqualification (Yes for some reason they wrestled again!)
November 13, 2002: Jeff Jarrett defeated Syxx-Pac by forfeit
November 13, 2002: Jeff Jarrett pinned BG James
As you can see, Jeff Jarrett wrestled the same guy twice, advances to the finals via a forfeit, and then defeats BG James to earn #1 Contender status and earn a shot at the NWA World title.
Something happened in the one week period from when Jarrett was named the #1 Contender and the night the match happened; Jeff Jarrett became a good guy, and Ron Killings a bad guy. Killings’ character had slowly been turning more and more into a heel, but Jarrett had been a bad guy since the start of TNA and up to his defeat of BG James the week before. As Jeremy Borash settled into the ring to announce the competitors and the champions music began to fill the arena, Ron Killings came out and began to rip on the fans in a rap. This was not too big of a deal, but it immediately set the fans against “The Truth” for the rest of the match. Jarrett’s music began to play and the fans began to cheer him; it was a bit strange for those who followed the shows week in and week out.
The Difference Between Television and Reality
Filed Under: General , January 18, 2011 By
There has been a lot of “hate” for Karen Jarrett, the former Karen Angle. The hate isn’t even for the the character she portrays on television, it’s for the person that Karen Jarrett is. I’m going to take an honest look at the people who want to be disrespectful to her and the situation she is involved in currently. There is truly a difference between television and reality.
I have been looking at recent articles on the Internet regarding people’s thoughts and opinions on the return of Karen Jarrett [formerly Angle] to TNA Wrestling. There seems to be a general disdain for her return, but people aren’t looking at the way fans should be… as fans. You’re taking your personal feelings of her and clouding your judgement to why her return to TNA Wrestling is a good move all around. If you follow me on Twitter than you have seen me stick up with Karen, not because I’m trying to start drama like people claim, but because there is a fine line between your opinion and generally being disrespectful.
