Jim Ross Shares His Thoughts on Jeff Jarrett's Personal Struggles and Impact Wrestling's Future

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross used a portion of his weekly blog to comment on the status of Jeff Jarrett, who reportedly entered a WWE sponsored rehab facility to battle his alcohol addiction.

The legendary broadcaster also shared his thoughts on the future of Impact Wrestling.

“Troubling to hear that Impact Wrestling has severed ties with co-founder Jeff Jarrett within the past few hours. Jeff had taken a leave of absence, which generally isn’t a good news sort of thing, and then was permanently separated from Anthem, the now parent company of Impact Wrestling. I am pulling for Impact, their talents, and personnel in a big way, but as long as they have a weak USA TV clearance, any success that they may have in the future likely will be limited. If they can create some new stars and produce solid TV shows, who knows in this wacky world of TV with so many options for a company to utilize, including digital. In the meanwhile, I hope that Jeff Jarrett resurfaces as he’s expected to do. Jeff is a wrestling lifer, like me, and this is what he loves and knows best. Regarding any other issues that may or may not be prevalent, I can only hope that all these issues are remedied in a timely manner for Jeff and all involved.”
