Double J in a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett shared his thoughts on stars like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe and how much of a hand they have had in changing the landscape of wrestling.
“I was in the position and I’m very thankful I was to give ‘phenomenal talent,’ pardon the pun, like AJ Styles, like Bobby Roode, like Samoa Joe…we could go on and on down that list of guys an opportunity to shine. But at the end of the day, Riju, they are the ones that picked up the ball and ran and scored and worked hard and busted their a** and made a name for themselves. I was very blessed to be in the spot that I was.”
