www.pwinsider.com/article/94653/updated-whats-up-with-jeff-jarrett-and-tna.html?p=1[UPDATED] WHAT'S UP WITH JEFF JARRETT AND TNA By Mike Johnson on 2015-06-25 14:22:15 For those asking what's up with Jeff Jarrett and TNA, the story that he told last night on Impact Wrestling was pretty much the truth - TNA (I believe John "Big" Gaburick) reached out to him about appearing on the Slammiversary PPV. The appearance gives TNA a badly-needed hook for the Slammiversary PPV (although it comes at the last second) and for Jarrett, allows him to promote his GFW company. Jarrett will be working the PPV and I wouldn't be shocked to see the company announce him as this year's TNA Hall of Famer. They had attempted to get AJ Styles to agree to a deal where he would be announced as the Hall of Famer and wrestle but Styles declined due to his New Japan commitments and responsibilities, as NJPW works with ROH. There was talk last night about TNA talent being able to work GFW events as part of the deal. Update: 4:53 PM: PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources was that part of the deal was to allow TNA talents the ability to work GFW events. I am told that the Jarretts' promos last night, especially Karen's, were pretty much shooting from the heart and they weren't scripted by TNA beyond Jeff pushing that he would be in "his match", King of the Mountain at Slammiversary. The Jarretts' appearance was kept quiet, with most TNA talents not knowing they were even there until five minutes before they headed to the ring. We are told that even TNA champion Kurt Angle was pretty much kept in the dark over the appearance.

He is scheduled to appear past Sunday as of right now, the as noted earlier, Magnus is scheduled to appear on the GFW TV show taped on 7/24 in Las Vegas, so the sides are working together. The deal did just come through and it was hilarious backstage as all the people who had for the last year plus made fun of Jarrett were all acting like they were his long-lost best friend. The morale of the wrestlers wasn't good, feeling the company wasn't being honest with them by hiding it. They already had credibility issues with talent. The deal really did come together in the last week and wasn't finalized until the day of. While not confirmed, the belief is that Jarrett was brought in to be this year's inductee into the TNA Hall of Fame after A.J. Styles turned down the offer. --A real key thing which Jarrett clearly said to get insiders talking was mentioning how he had just talked with his friend Toby Keith two days earlier.
