Jeff Jarrett Downplays Criticism Surrounding AEW’s Women’s Division

Jeff Jarrett recently addressed the perceived outrage surrounding the presentation of AEW’s women’s division. In conversation with WrestleTalk, Double J illustrated the toxicity of social media, saying that it forms a big part of such negative and intolerant perception surrounding everything from A-Z. He said,

“The way social media, to me, has progressed and evolved – in my opinion, you have to have an understanding on reading it; in that, it’s not just the professional wrestling industry – here in the United Kingdom, I hear there’s a hot button called politics. I’m saying that sarcastically, but in America, the political… the divisiveness.

The ability to (say), ‘Hey, I’m gonna tell you something, and you better agree with me, and if you don’t agree with me, shame on you;’ that permeates society now. So that’s obviously in social media.

So, I think you have to take whatever opinion is given on social media, you have to take that with a grain of salt, and really try to drill down and say – and I’m a data junkie, I’m an OCD guy, I’m dialed into that – but Twitter has an audience that has one mindset. SnapChat, Instagram, YouTube comments, they’re all diverse, they’re not universal opinion. You can break it all up. So, the criticism you have to take as one metric.”

Jarrett added that while the ability to accept criticism and using it as a guiding light is necessary, it is also imperative that it is filtered out and does not affect one negatively. He said,

“So, as it relates to the AEW criticism, they’re gonna criticize it this week, and next week they could be universally praising it. So you have to take the yin and the yang, you have to take the good and the bad, and just kind of move through it. You cannot discount it.

If you just completely sweep it under the rug, that doesn’t do your business any good. But you also have to learn how to filter it as well.”
