Kenny Omega Works The Ass & CM Punk's Speedo Weirdos: 10 Things You May Have Missed In Wrestling In August 2021

3. No Heart For The Highlander

One of the best new additions to the wrestling podcast genre is My World with Jeff Jarrett.

Double-J and host Conrad Thompson continually bring the quality content while looking at Jarrett's long and varied career. A few weeks back, we got the first 'Ask Jeff Anything' episode, where fans were encouraged to pose questions to the former WCW, WWE and TNA star. 

One listener wrote in to ask if Jarrett had any regrets about showing WWE's Robbie (of The Highlanders fame) on camera during a March 2008 episode of Impact, since that was largely attributed as the reason he got fired from WWE very shortly afterwards. 

"I don't, and the reason being is that there were so many things going on. 

In 2008, and this was WrestleMania season, I remember hearing the buzz. They were like, 'Hey man. This WWE talent is out in the crowd'. I said, 'Why isn't he back here?'. They said, 'He doesn't want to come back here'. 

I couldn't put that together. I do remember being asked, and I said, 'Of course you're going to show him on camera. What is the downside?'. I didn't think the guy would put his job at risk by coming to a show, so I thought, okay, if he's going to be here, he's at least willing to take the risk, or he has taken the risk.

Does he think we're going to shoot around him? He knew the industry. I hate that he got fired, but that’s all post mortem".

Seems to me like the wrestling business has made J-E-Double F J-A-Double R-E-Double T a little bit C-A-Double L-O-U-S.
