Jeff Jarrett Reacts To The Passing Of Toby Keith

WWE, TNA Hall of Famer and AEW star Jeff Jarrett took to social media to share his thoughts on the passing of his friend Toby Keith.

“I don’t believe in coincidences…only convergences. I woke up at 4am to a message on my phone of Toby’s passing. I just finished my media day in Huntsville, Alabama — for an event in the same arena where I busted his song and he suplexed me on TNA’s 1st ppv. The reason I tell this story is to explain what a friend Toby was to me — after he had already committed to my show, he was asked by the President of the USA to come to the White House to perform his new smash hit, Angry American, on the day of the event, June 19, 2002.

Toby said a “diplomatically no” to them.

Toby was a man of his word, honor and integrity to his core, and I’ll never have a friend like him again.

T, love you my friend, Rest in Peace…”

Country singer Toby Keith died Monday night at age 62, more than two years after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.

Konnan on his podcast, said he spoke with Jeff Jarrett & that Jarrett will be making an announcement this week about a new project. Konnan said Jarrett told him that TNA is in really bad shape & he doesn’t know or doesn’t care if they see through the year. Konnan then pretty much stated that Jarrett would be starting a new promotion with Toby Keith.

Country singer Toby Keith was the main person who was looking to purchase TNA but negotiations apparently fell through. Jarrett was expected to have a key role in the promotion if the sale happened. Shortly after talks between Keith & TNA fell through, Jarrett announced that he was parting ways with TNA.
