There aren't many Holy Grails left in the shoot interview world, but RF VIDEO is proud to exclusively give wrestling fans the very first shoot DVD with Jerry Jarrett! One of the most elusive men in the wrestling business, Jarrett was the "get" of all "gets" as he has literally been everywhere on the wrestling map and was an integral part in many of the biggest, most successful, and controversial companies. WWE. WCW. Memphis. TNA. Jarrett was a key member of management in four of the most newsworthy companies in wrestling history, and for the first time EVER he talks about his experiences to RF VIDEO!
Wrestling historians are going to love all the time that Jarrett spends talking about what it took to turn the Memphis territory into one of the most significant wrestling promotions of the 20th century that drew television numbers that dwarfed even the best Raw and Nitro ratings. Jerry Lawler. Nick Gulas. Jackie Fargo. Andy Kaufman. Bill Dundee. Eddie Graham. Lance Russell. Roy Welch. Working with the NWA. You won't believe all the wonderful stories involving Memphis. But that wasn't the only territory Jarrett worked for, so you'll also be getting a ton of stories involving Bill Watts, Junkyard Dog, the Von Erichs, Rock N Roll Express, Jim Cornette, Paul Heyman, Hulk Hogan, and every single big name you can think of.
Working high up in both WWE and WCW, Jarrett has a unique perspective on the two biggest wrestling companies of all time. He saw first hand the highs and lows and has a lot to talk about. Jarrett also gives his side to the creation of TNA, one that is wildly different from the History of TNA DVD which TNA put out. Jarrett walked us through the first year of TNA and all the pitfalls, including Jay Hassman, Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, The Johnsons, and of course the delusional Vince Russo. TNA fans are going to be mesmerized by this section as it is truly much watch material.
On a personal note, this interview was emotional to be a part of as Jarrett explained what happened to his family and how they have become divided. Wrestling has given Jarrett so much in life, yet it has also taken an equal amount away. Each and every viewer will come away from this incredible interview with a new understanding of the man that is Jerry Jarrett. You've heard the second hand stories. You've read all the third hand reports. Now hear it all, everything, straight from the man himself.
