In a recent episode of his podcast “My World,” WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett reflected on his professional experience collaborating with David Arquette in WCW. The podcast highlights are presented below:
Jeff Jarrett fondly recollected on his collaboration with David Arquette in WCW, describing David as a respectful, enthusiastic, and humble colleague who was intent on giving his best performance. Jeff evidently admires David’s earnest efforts and good nature, as he mentions a memorable photo of David perched on top of a three-level wrestling cage with a guitar, and talks about the enthusiastic crowd interaction during that match, despite acknowledging that the match wasn’t perfect. Moreover, a rehearsal mishap led DDP to develop his DDP Yoga regimen. Despite the controversial decision of making a non-wrestler like David the champion, Jeff appreciates David’s sincere efforts amidst a difficult situation, and remember him fondly as someone with a noble spirit.
On WCW in 2000, Jeff remarked that the organization was characterized by a sustained level of chaos. There was a significant lack of clarity in terms of who was in charge, with figures like Bischoff and Russo playing tug-of-war, and top stars like Hogan having ‘creative control’. The dilemma extended from uncertainty over priorities, such as whether promoting a new movie or an upcoming pay-per-view, to the fundamental confusion over who was the ultimate decision-maker. In the end, Jeff believes the absence of clear leadership and a consistent vision contributed to this chaotic period.
