[1997-11-10-WWF-Raw] Interview: Jeff Jarrett

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

We get old clips of Jeff Jarrett. He talks about how he's been in wrestling for 12 years, he's never taken steroids and has no skeletons in his closet, so he thinks the WWF is getting him at a bargain. He says he wants to lock up with Bret and it's obvious they do some creative editing. They play name association with a few guys. I crack up at him calling HHH a tag along. They clearly had big plans for this guy at this point and are positioning him to be a big star.

Jarrett had high praise for Savage. Tag along for Triple H! I just didn’t see Jarrett as a top level guy when he showed up in WWF at this time.

I would assume this was filmed before Montreal as we get a lot about Bret even setting the seeds for a potential feud. We even get a Savage reference and Jarrett puts them over. I think Jeff looks like a star with this interview and he gives pretty poignant opinions on most of the individuals.

It's funny that the only guy Jarrett said bad things about (he had praise for Savage and Hogan and was diplomatic about Bischoff) is HHH. In addition either at that show or at Survivor Series there was a clearly visible sign saying "Hunter Hearst Hemlsey - Career Midcarder". It's really easy to see why HHH got so protective about his main event spot, once he got it.

Jarrett puts Savage over, which I guess is a creative way of trying to get him over as someone who can be trusted to speak his mind. The best of the Jarrett interviews, but it still doesn't and wouldn't translate to the ring.

[Exposer]

Good interview. The best Jarrett stuff yet since he's been back. A lot of it is funny in hindsight though with him saying he'll be a great WWF Champion. The discussion about Bret is funny too. The highlight though is Jarrett calling HHH a tag along while doing word association. That's hilarious.
