WWE Hall of Famer and AEW Star Jeff Jarrett, who is also the Director of Business Development in AEW, had a conversation with Good Karma Wrestling on a variety of topics such as he still has an emotional connection with the audience and that is why he deserves TV time on AEW programming.
Jeff Jarrett said:
“Emotional connection with the audience (is why I deserve AEW TV time). It’s just that simple and it’s something that, you know, it goes without saying and the naysayers, ‘Oh, he’s done this, he’s done that.’ All you have to do is listen to the people in the arena. They love me. There’s some kind of ‘F you Jarrett’ that they get going on but I think that’s a term of endearment. They absolutely love me but it’s the emotional connection. That will never go away.”
Jeff Jarrett also talked about how sports entertainment is all about connecting with your audience as well as how emotional connection with the audience existed 70 years ago and it’s gonna exist 70 years from now.
Jeff Jarrett said:
“The moves will continue to get more and more aggressive and more and more athletic. That’s just the nature of the beast. You look at things that will happen (at AEW in the ring) and I don’t use this word lightly, revolutionary. But at the end of the day, the emotional connection with the audience existed 70 years ago and it’s gonna exist 70 years from now. That’s what entertainment is all about and I don’t care if you’re playing NBA basketball, if you’re playing NFL football or if you’re in a Hollywood blockbuster. It’s all about connecting with your audience.”
