Jeff Jarrett Talks About Owen Hart Continuing To Work For WWE After Infamous Montreal Screwjob Incident With Bret Hart


As noted, Jeff Jarrett recently launched his own official podcast, "My World with Jeff Jarrett."

In addition to some of the highlights we have posted from the initial episodes of the new show hosted by the WWE Hall Of Fame legend and the founder of IMPACT Wrestling, the current WWE agent also spoke about Owen Hart continuing to work for WWE after the infamous Montreal Screwjob incident involving his brother, Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

Featured below is an excerpt from the interview where he touches on this particular topic.

"We didn’t get into the ins and outs of the specifics of the deal. I can remember having conversations with agents and others, and, again, my delusional optimism, but I was really optimistic about Owen’s career, that , ok, this is a real opportunity because no matter how you sliced and diced it, he was the little brother. The story was played out on TV. Naturally, the brother went south, and a lot of controversy. Now, all of a sudden, what a platform. I guess in those days you can say I put on my promoter mentality or booker mentality, and what a great opportunity for Owen."
