It\u2019s still sort of surreal to me. I\u2019m incredibly humbled by the amount of the exposure that\u2019s gone with it. It\u2019s an honor. There are less than 200 wrestlers in there and I\u2019m one of the lucky ones in there. It was a shocker. Without question, a lot of our history is quite documented if not quite accurate. In 2001, when Vince [McMahon] acquired Turner\u2019s organization they went their way and I went my way. I didn\u2019t think it would be in the cards . I don\u2019t believe in coincidences. It\u2019s going to be 32 years from the day I started my career to the day I get inducted into the Hall of Fame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Has he spoken to Vince:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m very excited about the weeks to come and I\u2019m very looking forward to seeing and speaking with him [Vince McMahon].<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Thoughts on NXT:<\/strong>\u00a0NXT is growing; it is truly a third\u00a0brand. The [WWE] Network gives it a platform that is so unique. It\u2019s a live touring business with merchandising. In essence, almost an entirely own promotion. Cudos to Triple H and his staff and all the hard work that\u2019s gone into it and certainly all the talent. No wrestling promotion has any wheels unless talent drives it. And all the names that have gone through NXT and the crop that they have there now including my close personal friend Eric Young. Triple H and NXT have their pulse on the talent and I\u2019m interested to see where that continues to go. The growth in a relatively short period of time is amazing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The WWE success of former TNA talents:<\/strong>\u00a0I remember being in a car driving back from an event when A.J. [Styles] made his WWE debut at the Royal Rumble in Orlando with chants in the arena at deafening levels. It\u2019s well documented in our careers how we worked together professionally and personally. His days at TNA and then working with him at New Japan. Now here we are heading into WrestleMania in 2018, I\u2019m getting inducted to the Hall of Fame and he\u2019s the WWE Champion. Bobby Roode has worn WWE gold. Samoa Joe, injured now but the prominence that he\u2019s had. I\u2019m very very happy for those guys and excited for Wrestlemania weekend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Jeremy Borash: <\/strong>He\u2019s a guy who\u2019s worn many hats whether it be ring announcer, backstage announcer, creative side, production side, a little bit of everything. I\u2019m so excited for him and we\u2019ve had some communications over the past month. I think this kind of opportunity is a refresh for him. The creative, production, and talent juices in whatever role they have him play; he will exceed their [WWE\u2019s] expectations. Had a lot of great times and created a lot of great stuff with him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Thoughts on the current TNA\/Impact Wrestling regime:<\/strong>\u00a0I wish them nothing but the best and will leave it at that. The company has had lots of up\u2019s and down\u2019s. That goes without saying. The wrestling industry needs as many thriving promotions as possible and I wish all those guys nothing but the best.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Rumors of AAA\/Roldan family\u2019s interest in purchasing Impact:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019ve worked with the Roldan family for many, many years. Antonion, the founder of that organization, we had a great relationship. Also a great working relationship with Dorian creating the talent exchange [with Impact] last year, there needs to be as much of that as possible. Nothing but love for AAA and the Roldan family.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT ARTICLE:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/03\/01\/interview-highlights-shelton-benjamin-talks-x-pac-funny-first-words-said-jordan-gable-met-nervousness-two-big-stars-promos-gun-rental-car\/\">Interview Highlights: Shelton Benjamin talks to X-Pac about funny first words he said to Jordan &amp; Gable when he met them, nervousness against two big stars, his promos, gun in rental car<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1293938851\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2599280779\"><div id=\"pwtor-3396332007\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The following are highlights of Jeff Jarrett&#8217;s appearance on &#8220;Main Event Radio&#8221; discussing with host Ryan Rider getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
