cheers for the content
Good content.Great channel name = 1 new sub💯
Good to be here. When is lunch?
I need to fart
You can see how much he genuinely loves Owen Hart. They were great friends.
Owen Hart was always my favorite of the Hart foundation. May he rest in peace and life forever in our hearts.
Yea... im sure he was lol
Hey Jesus loves you. Acts 2:38. Upci church locator for a church. He was a talent
love how honest and genuine Jeff's answers are! Jarrett looks like he's a very humble person, and I like that.
Seems a really good guy which is amazing as I absolutely hated him in wwf back in the day. Obviously done his job well as a heel
damn. what does a not so humble person "look" like? flashy? poor? please tell me so i know what to do
Wow. Just to hear Jeff describe his friend Owen Hart brought chills to my soul. Because I had the pleasure of hanging out with Bret and Owen and as I walked away I too thought that Owen was unlike anyone I ever met. He was special. RIP brother
You can see the change in his face when the interviewer brings up Owen 😢😢😢😢😢 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭
Yeah it was a heart tugger no pun intended
Owen is highly underrated in the business but not by fans. He deserved more opportunities than he had championship wise.
Well technically he was udner rated by fans when he was alive. It wasn't until he died people started praising him and claiming he was their favorite.
@@joshuaa1605 For some yes, but he was a lot of people’s favorite (one of their favorites) wrestling in the 90s.
@@kevinwoolrich1326 dude... owen was nobodies favorite back then lol
@@joshuaa1605 Uh..... except he was, but keep pretending you somehow know who every wrestling fan’s favorite wrestlers were....
@@kevinwoolrich1326 🤣🤣🤣 man u people are sick. Just because a guy died all of a sudden he was everyones favorite. Whatever u say brah 🤣🤣
It was always a honor and pleasure anytime I got to work with Jeff. Just a great guy,always a good attitude and a super good worker. Thanks for the fun memories Jeff!
Had to cut a live promo and have a match mere seconds after seeing one of his best friends laying dead in the very ring that he now had to go and perform in. Professionalism is an understatement.
The most heartbreaking thing ever
I’m not his biggest fan but I’ve always had a spot in my heart for Jeff Jarrett after that night. Him and Owen were such good friends, so Jarrett having to go out and perform in the same ring where you could still see Owen’s blood on the mat must have been unbelievably painful. Professionalism on Jeff’s part, downright heinous and callous on Vince McMahon’s part, making his employees go out there and work after a tragic (and in my opinion avoidable) accident.
Rip, Owen, a lovely Man,
I met him Canada.
Sad bit of irony.
Jeff Jarrett’s first wife, Jill, died on May 23rd, 2007, exactly 8 years to the date after Owen’s death.
Jeff looks great for his age! He seems to be a pretty chill, humble person! And how he speaks of Owen is pretty consistent with what other WWE Superstars have said.
Jeff comes across really well. Excellent answers all around, cool guy!
Met Jeff a few years ago, didn't speak much but came across like a genuinely nice guy.
Until he tries to sell you gold
@@krewciaI people forget wrestling came from the carnival and circus industry, Jeff is of that era when you made your money schilling and doing anything to make some coin.
@@Ginric99 should've met his father
@@CSAccetura welllll, you know, you take the chicken and the salad :).
Double J's breathing changed when he asked about Owen.
Great answer by Jeff. We all want Owen in the HoF but we shouldn't judge his family for not allowing it.
SCREW MARTHA. THE ENTIRE HART FAMILY WANTS HIM IN
His family wants it, his widow doesn't. I don't think there's a brother or sister of Owen that would object
Not just Martha, his kids too.
@@That90sShow the carelessness by WWE left her a widow and her children without a father. she has allowed him in other pro wrestling hall of fame's but her or her kids will not allow that and i cant blame them
@Old Age WWE are bullish about building a Physical Hall of Fame in the future and if you look at Martha's comments, she said she wouldn't let Owen into the WWE Hall of Fame because it isn't a real place right now but if it were to become real in the future, it would be more likely. Besides, there have been more unlikely inductions over the years like Bruno Sammartino, The Ultimate Warrior and even Jeff Jarrett.
3:12 is when Owen comes up
Jeff looks and sounds great. I am glad he is doing well.
He is so underrated as a worker. Could have a good match with anyone.
Easily one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time! Should've been inducted into the Hall of Fame 10 years ago
Great interview and questions. Jarrett always seems like a really, really nice guy
Played a great heel for many years
Altough his southern accent is real, it's very surprising how he is in real life in contrast to the Double J persona he played in the early 90s...
God Damn I miss 90s WWF. The Owen talk choked me up a little.
I love these interviews even if it's a touchy subject, it's brought back my love for wrestling and I don't even watch wrestling but I'll listen to these all day long
Great interview. I feel Jeff’s answers were very organic and honest.
True fans of Owen Hart don't ask when he will be in WWE hall of fame.
Coz in our hearts he already is a Hall Of Famer.
I'm actually glad that Owen isn't in the WWE hall of fame, he is better in off in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame. The WWE hall of fame is a joke now.
The interviewing technique on display here was exemplary. Wonderful job!
Jeff Jarrett to me is someone who never quite made it to the top but is loyal to his great mind about what's good about wrestling and sticks to his philosophy
You must not have ever watched or heard of WCW or TNA wrestling then
@@jarlwhiterun7478 he was at the top in WCW at a time when David Arquette was at the top, being at the top in WCW in the late 90's is definitely not a legitimate benchmark, and I was 100% a WCW guy
Owen was better then Bret and had a great mic game, he didn't get the respect he deserved from Vince and its a shame that the show must go on with one of your best talents being killed on the show smh. OWEN your still top 5 wrestlers to me overall rip and we won't forget
he didnt have Bret's ambition thats the only reason he wasnt bigger
It was because of Bret that he finally got a push. Bret insisted that Owen should be in the Brother v Brother angle. Before that Owen was stuck in tag teams with koko b ware and jim neidhart.
Ok, don’t get too far ahead of yourself. Owen was amazing but Bret is arguably the best in ring performer of all time
@@Junketsuadidas dude u don't know ?? When someone is dead it makes them one of the best ever lol
"...and that's why I kicked your leg out of your leg!" - Owen Hart
A flubbed line, but memorable.
I watched Owen when I was boy back in 1992
Blue blazer lol
@@greyjedi6430 Owen wasn't the Blue Blazer in 1992
@@stedarkside1529 was just making the reference , that's why the lol , think he was in the tag team with Koko b ware then high energy
He wrestled skinner at mania 8
I Rember when it happened. was watching it live. RIP Owen. He should be in hall a fame. He died doing what he loved!
I was watching the night Owen died. I'm so glad it wasn't shown live.
It was actually down to HHH. He was the one who convinced Vince Mcmahon to put the past with Jeff Jarrett and Vince agreed. Then when Jeff needed to go to rehab in January of his Hall of Fame induction it was actually the WWE who paid for his stay in rehab and then when he came out they inducted him into the WWE hall of fame. A lot of people think HHH is just in the job because he is part of the Mcmahon family, but if it wasn't for HHH a lot of the superstars WWE have signed wouldn't have been signed including AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Samoa Joe. Vince was convinced AJ was past his prime when WWE signed him.
Say what you want about HHH, but the man definitely knows what he is doing. A lot of bridges between WWE, Vince and former talents were mended thanks to him. And a lot of new guys were given an opportunity thanks to him too. The future of WWE definitely involves HHH doing what he's doing and Vince letting him do it.
@@rickylyon3846 I've actually defended him a lot from fans who forget what he has done.
I have to admit I love it when wrestlers break kay fabe it's nice to see the real people actually come out instead of character.
I hope one day someone thinks of me like Jeff Jarrett thinks of Owen
Funny how as I get older that I realize all the heels I hated as a kid were some of the nicest in reality, and the babyfaces can be real arseholes.
Jarrett is a good guy
He was entertaining classic enjoyable lovable underrated hardworking passionate talent influence humble testimony of being respectful successful wrestler
Never a fan of JJ but after this and the interview with Conrad man...
This is the character he should have played a babyface with.
Awesome
I was 11 years old that day, that it one of the reason why I am afraid of heights.
Well said sir, thank you...
I remember when I first found out that they hired former WCW guys to set up the equipment that Owen ultimately died because of. Then seeing how flimsy it was on Dark Side of The Ring.
Between that, the heat that already existed between the Harts and Vince but it left Owen there by himself with Bret, Neidhart and Bulldog gone.
I have a lot of questions/doubts to this day
They didn't actually hire the actual people WCW used. The idiot that DID do Owen's stunt, was only one person that had some involvement I think but he was not qualified to be in charge of choreographing such a stunt. He also should have known better than to agree to WWE's insistence on using that sail boat clip.
@@filmbuff2777 if only Owen had refused to go to the arena and stayed at that bar....he wouldve been fired but im sure Vince wouldve forgiven him eventually
Really looking forward to the new podcast with JJ and Conrad.
Jarrett needs to be on stone colds broken skulls session
he left it all in the ring
class act
Owen was entertaining classic enjoyable underrated amazing hardworking smooth likable but funny passionate athletics skillful showman wrestler
I was thrilled and excited to see Jeff Jarrett be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame but I didn't like what they did with him afterwards. Having Ellias beat the snot out of him repeatedly was horrible 😢 what they should have done was have Jarrett become Elliases manager. They could have gone along time with it. Jarrett could have hit Elliases opponents with a guitar 🎸 and made Ellias an Intercontinental Champion! They could have tagged together against people like Lashley and MVP or Randy Orton and Rick Flair!
We all know how close Jeff was with Owen Hart, so it confuses me how he can be tight with Vince Russo, who a lot of people (Cornette) blame for Owen’s passing...
That confuses me too. That's an armor piercing question if there ever was one.
JJ for the win!
I hated Jeff's gimmick but he seems like a genuine dude listening to him talk. Never judge that book by the cover.
Listen up slap nuts
Did any one else laugh when he said "you know" and think of Bruce Prichard 🤣😆😄
Jeff channeling his inner Dusty Rhodes "If you weeel".
1:09 y'know
What year is this
2021 and Trump was president from 2016 to 2020. Glad you are out of that coma
@@BeeBumper Yes, emerge from a coma only to wake up to the bizarre reality the last five months.
Kinda helps when your dad works for the only promoter left in pro wrestling, huh, Jeff?? I am sorry, not the only promoter, also a dictator!! Loved working for your dad and it is SAD to see Vince as only show in town. It has taken our sport to new lows. All competition bought or put out of business...
Not good and will NOT make it through next generation. Just my opinion.
They should let double j be the Booker in the wwe think he could turn things around if not can't get any worse
I lost my child because of hospice nurse making weekly visits and she basically had me murder my child. She gave me a medication to give to my daughter to help her only the meds were something she shouldn't be taking being it was a seizure med. I will never forgive her and if ever I saw her part of me still has that anger that I want her dead by my hands being she had me watching as my child died in my arms. So for the fact WWE and vince did this to this family that Owen had been a part of daily and being known as a family man that will do anything for his family. Of course I would never allow a company to make money off a death of my loved one. And I'm glad over the years the family of Owen has stood strong on their morals. Yes for fans it sucks that we cant have a amazing person inducted into the hall of fame. But I for one believe in watching old matches and promos of his to remember his legacy rather than some company making more money off a person they wronged.
I've 😊 always felt Owen's wife feels betrayed she didn't live out "the dream life." And is bitter because of it. She grieves Owen, true. She just wanted the lifestyle more than she loved him. There. I said it.😮💨
I always wonder, out of every young guys under his management Aj was the only one whom he put over, does it have anything to do with how he is a prodigal talent whose style resemble Owen Hart whom he consider a brother
cant wait for his my world podcast
"terrible performance" is an understatement!
If you will
WWE RAW 2021
"If you will"
I'm thinking Dusty had some influence on a young Jeff Jarrett 35 years ago.
How did JJ get in the WWE HOF? Not knocking him as a star but I thought Vince had a problem with him.
Him and Vince made peace
He got in because of Triple H
Damn he got old
Ah yes the FAMOUS tag-team of NUGGET and JOBBER. A.K.A. Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett. Boy talk about 2 guys who NEVER DESERVED to be a World Champion....
Jeff is a good worker and he seems like a really cool dude, however I never really was interested in his angles or matches for the majority of his career. The slap nuts angle was the only time I found him the least bit interesting.
Jeff Jarrett looks like a male version of Martha Hart
How come he doesn’t ever mention Debra anymore ? Without Debra no one was ever gonna give af about him
If he mentioned Debra in his podcast, Jeff tells you the real reason why he ended his relationship with Debra and well, here is the link so that when you read it tell me what you think of what Jeff says.
Link:www.sportskeeda.com/amp/wwe/news-jeff-jarrett-confirms-real-life-heat-steve-austin-on-screen-relationship-debra-ended
@@erickgarcia6379 I’m not surprised. Debra said on the Stevie Ray podcast a month ago, that Austin forced WWE producers to pull Debra from going to the ring, and from TV altogether after a while. I wish she never got with him it ruined her entire career.
@@SnowWhiteTheU2 But you know that if Debra hadn't been with Austin, she most likely would have stayed with Jeff and gone to WCW with him. And his career would have continued with him since they were a good couple, but Austin split them up, do you wish that had happened with Debra staying with Jeff?.
@@erickgarcia6379 I don’t think she’d really go to WCW. I think she’d stay with WWE. I mean who knows what could’ve happened ? Ultimately I’d prefer she stood with WWE and trained to wrestle more. She was my fave ever
Hey Jesus loves you. Acts 2:38. Upci church locator for a church.
Does anyone know why Owen never apologized to Stone Cold after the botched piledriver? Heard so many great things about him, so that aspect never made sense.
Jim Ross said he had conversations with Owen where he said Owen just didn’t know how to put it in words
@@pdc2268 It is regrettable, because he essentially ended Austin’s career. And since Austin and Bret were close, Owen apologizing to Austin should not have been at all difficult. It is sad and unfortunate that he passed before he ever could apologize. But I’m sure Austin understands that Owen did not have a bad heart and that it was an accident, devoid of ill-intent.
@@westyraviz Austin ended masahiro chonos career with that same pile driver. As for Owen, after that I think that ended any possibility of him ever making it to the big belt. A shame too, because his initial impact after survivor series and being the sole survivor, the black hart had massive potential. I think everybody who watches that now, in retrospect can see Shawn pulling the strings behind the scenes to relegate Owen to the mid carder HHH.
According to Stone Cold, Owen being the jokester that he was, he wasn’t the kind of guy to go deep into serious things like that. I guess that’s why JR said Owen couldn’t put it into words. Stone Cold felt Owen could have tried though.
@@matsong5134 i agree they should’ve had that conversation
granted far from being only guy that did it, but nobody benefitted more from steroids than jeff jarrett
Was Owen really that good? i always found him sloppy & dangerous.
Why is it Martha's decision whether or not Owen gets into the HOF, anyway? Shouldn't that decision be made between the remaining siblings? If Martha chooses to not go, or not condone her kids going to see Owen get inducted, that's fine. But the decision to induct Owen should be made between the siblings and NOT Martha.
If WWE ultimately does induct him, they should completely leave out and eradicate any indication of the "Blue Blazer".. Even the match he had with Kurt Henning at WrestleMania 5
@@Nostalgicguy2242 Curt* Hennig*
He will get there, no doubt in my mind
@@greyjedi6430 Maybe after Martha's dead, he might. I don't see it happening in the near future.
@@christian4u69 No, Oje & Athena (their children), are also against it. Owen is in OTHER Hall of Fames anyway. WWE only want to exploit Owen for profit, which they don't deserve to anyway.
