In a recent episode of his “My World” podcast, Jeff Jarrett shared some valuable insights regarding TNA’s transition to monthly pay-per-view events, in addition to discussing TNA Victory Road 2004.
These are some key takeaways from the podcast:
– Discussing the significance of TNA moving to a monthly version of pay-per-views with Victory Road 2004, Jarrett stated, “I’ve never been an enthusiast for excessive uplifting speeches. However, I am really invested in cultivating optimism. I always emphasize it’s not merely about winning, but about visualising a successful pay-per-view emerging from a well-fought match and channeling your passion… I am not saying it disrespectfully, but it was understood that day marked a complete shift in the wrestling game. It was clear, albeit uncertain whether for good or bad, change was imminent. For me, the transition from weekly to monthly, was accompanied with an ecstatic sense of, ‘Come on guys, let’s demonstrate to fans around the world that we are capable of a delivering a thrilling three-hour pay-per-view.’”
– Addressing TNA’s position as an underdog, he said, “While I don’t have the intention to exaggerate the scenario, I firmly believe everyone, from the talent to the production team and even fans, felt an undeniable ‘Little Engine That Could’ spirit that continuously grew from its inception in 2002. In my view, this spirit persisted until Hulk Hogan joined the team.”
The podcast also featured an intriguing discussion regarding the showdown between Hogan and Savage. You can watch that episode of “My World with Jeff Jarrett” below.
