Jeff Jarrett No Longer A Minority Owner In TNA
PWInsider reports that the recent deal that saw Jeff Jarrett return to TV storylines in TNA included Dixie Carter buying Jarrett out of his minority ownership of TNA. The deal also included Jarrett’s Hall of Fame induction, promotion for Global Force Wrestling and GFW having the rights to book TNA talents.
PWInsider notes that the Jarrett deal was put together just a few days before the Jarretts cut their Impact Wrestling promo back in June. The deal was precipitated by TNA and allows for both sides to part ways on good terms. Dixie and parent company Panda Energy get complete ownership of the company while Jarrett gets bought out and receives some perks for GFW. TNA can now make any moves they want without having to worry about Jarrett’s minority shares coming back to get in the way.
