Karen Jarrett Shares Photo Of Jeff Jarrett In Rehab

Jeff Jarrett has been seen for the first time since entering a rehab facility last month, as his wife Karen shared a photo via social media.

Karen Jarrett posted the below picture on Instagram and captioned it with heart emojis.

As we previously reported … Jeff made the decision to get help following a situation in which a promoter says he insisted on wrestling, despite most people believing he was drunk.

Rehab facilities typically make family/friends wait a few weeks after someone has entered treatment before visitation is allowed, so it’s possible this was their first time seeing him since.

Praying For Jeff Jarrett

All of us here at Wrestling News Blog (Trevor, John & Vanessa), would like to let Jeff Jarrett know that we are praying for him as he deals with his problems. We believe God can see him through this.

As we previously reported Jeff  has checked into a rehab facility, after news that He was fired from his position at Impact Wrestling this week while on a leave of absence. The next day a promoter in Canada accused him of passing out in the locker room over the weekend due to drinking, then insisting on wrestling a match.

 

Promoter Claims Jeff Jarrett Passed Out From Drinking In Locker Room And Insisted On Wrestling (Video)

Jeff Jarrett allegedly passed out from drinking in a locker room at an indie show on Friday, then insisted on wrestling — and this video sadly shows he was in no condition to be in the ring.

Real Canadian Wrestling promoter Steven Ewaschuk tells Pro Wrestling Sheet Jeff showed up to the venue late on Friday and appeared to be slightly intoxicated, while claiming his tardiness was due to a customs issue.

Jarrett allegedly said he had trouble at the border and an agent allowed him into Canada under the condition that he’d be back at the airport by 6am the next morning to handle everything.

Ewaschuk claims Jeff Jarrett continued to drink and ultimately passed out in the locker room during the show. When intermission began, he had to be woken up for pictures.  Jeff then got ready for his match, despite suspicion that he was still drinking, and attempted to wrestle a twenty-minute match.

Before the match, Double J’s music hit for his entrance but the wrestler didn’t come out. His opponent then got on the microphone and said Jeff was upstairs getting drunk. Jeff finally hit the ring moments later and for about ten minutes the two wrestlers stalled for time.

After the event was over, the promoter paid the 50-year-old and expressed his unhappiness over the situation. Jarrett said he’d update them on the border situation, but never did. Instead, they found out the following day when JJ never arrived in Edmonton for his next booking with them.

It’s unclear if this situation had anything to do with his Impact Wrestling termination.

The video below was provided by RCW and features parts of the match. At one point Jeff picks up his opponent for a bodyslam and falls over. Moments later he does his strut in a wobbly line.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reached out to Jeff for comment and he denied passing out in the locker room. He also referred to the promoter as an “amateur.”

News On Jeff Jarrett Incident With Independent Promotion Over The Weekend

We reported on Impact Wrestling terminating its business relationship with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Entertainment, Inc. New details have emerged about an incident involving Jeff Jarrett at a Real Canadian Wrestling (RCW) independent show over the weekend.

Sources say Jarrett didn’t appear to be in condition to perform when he wrestled a 25-minute main event in Calgary at the show on Friday night. His performance was so lackluster that some of the people in attendance walked out of the main event before it was over.

Jarrett was scheduled to appear at RCW’s show the following night in Edmonton. RCW took to its Facebook page to offer this update for the people who were planning on attending the show:

JEFF JARRETT will not be appearing at Rise of Legends: War Games tonight in Edmonton.RCW has the unfortunate news to report that Jeff Jarrett will be not appearing at tonight’s event in Edmonton due to reasons beyond the company’s control as Jeff Jarrett has boarded a plane and left the country on his own accord this morning. Jeff Jarrett did appear last night in Calgary at the RCW event but again has chosen to leave the country due to his own issues.

There will be a special announcement at the start of tonight’s event to explain the situation and details of Jeff Jarrett’s cancellation.

After returning to the company in January, Jarrett took an indefinite leave of absence from his position as Chief Creative Officer of Impact Wrestling on Sept. 5 “to focus on personal matters.” Here’s the statement from Impact on Jarrett’s termination:

Jeff Jarrett Says GFW Is Looking At Taking PPVs On The Road, Will Add Another PPV To Their Lineup

Jeff Jarrett did a media conference call earlier this week to address a number of topics involving Global Force Wrestling. WrestlingINC.com owner Raj Giri was on the call and asked Jarrett if GFW had discussed moving pay-per-views out of the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida.

“It has to make financial sense,” Jarrett said. “It goes without saying that, you know, taking Impact on the road several years ago was a financial disaster and so you have to methodically look at every decision and make sure that it makes financial sense.”

The then-branded TNA Wrestling saw growth from 2008 to 2009 before taking Impact on the road in 2010. They have tried to regain traction ever since.

“But you know, we’re going to start with our live events and again, I’ll say put our toe back in the water. We realize that we’re not going to put an event on sale and it’s going to go clean and sellout. Quite frankly, the WWE doesn’t do that for live events. But they’re out there, they’re touring. An organization, publicly traded, been around 50-plus years, so they’re brand awareness in every market they go they don’t have that situation.”

Jarrett explained that GFW has to build brand awareness, so it’s important to get back out in key markets.

“We’re obviously in a re-branding situation in every sense of the word,” said Jarrett. “And so we’re getting back out in the markets and we’ve got to make the right decisions. That’s why we’re excited to partner with NOAH, partner with AAA, get into these markets.”

Jarrett then revealed that they do plan on taking pay-per-views out of the Impact Zone and to add one more pay-per-view next year.

“Raj, to go back to answer your question, absolutely we’re looking at taking [pay-per-views on the road],” Jarrett said. “Not just Bound For Glory, but we’re looking at adding another live pay-per-view to our schedule in 2018.”

Reby Hardy Angrily Responds To Jeff Jarrett’s Recent Broken Universe Agreement Claim

reby hardy matt jeff jarrett broken universe

The “Broken Universe” dispute between Jeff Jarrett and The Hardys isn’t over yet … despite the two sides reaching an agreement last week.

Yesterday in a teleconference call, Jarrett claimed that no deal had been reached with the Hardy family and that GFW still owns The Broken Universe trademark.

Reby Hardy took to Twitter to respond shortly after and said, “I’m going to have to start “clarifying” things by recording phone calls, apparently. Everything out of this loser’s mouth is BS. Why tho ?”

The wife of Matt Hardy continued, “We had agreement terms as of LAST WEEK. Included non-disparagement clause to the tune of 5k every time I tweet something about TNA… …but according to @RealJeffJarrett, there is nothing ? OKAY !”

For now, it appears that the Broken references on Raw this week will remain just that.
