THE TRANSCRIPT OF JEFF JARRETT'S THURSDAY APPEARANCE ON "BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW PERIOD"
Chris Rose: Our next guest has spent a considerable amount of time in the ring. He's a two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion and TNA's Executive VP and you know what? He'll definitely let you have it....
(Footage is show of Jarrett from TNA Wrestling)
Chris Rose: Please welcome Jeff Jarrett!
(Jarrett arrives onstage with a guitar in hand and shakes hands with Jim Kelly, Tom Arnold and Chris Rose)
Chris Rose: Jeff, it's a pleasure. Have a seat.
Jeff Jarrett: I brought Tom a present for Spike Lee (holding his guitar up)
Tom Arnold: You gotta teach me! You're so good at that, and you do it right. You hit them on the head with their head sticking through it.
Jeff Jarrett: That's the way I do it.
Tom Arnold: How did you learn that skill, honestly?
Jeff Jarrett: It doesn't take a lot of skill to be honest with you. You could do it.
Tom Arnold: Yes, my wife has done it to me.
Jeff Jarrett: So now I'm giving you the present to do it to Spike!
Tom Arnold: I appreciate that, thank you.
Chris Rose: Now, you actually live in Nashville...
Jeff Jarrett: Correct, born and raised.
Tom Arnold: What a great place that is!
Jeff Jarrett: Beautiful
Chris Rose: The Tennessee Titans call Nashville home as well
Jeff Jarrett: Yes they do
Chris Rose: We understand they were at a TNA event with the offensive line sitting in the front row, and we had a little problem as we'll see on this tape...
(Footage is shown of Jarrett screaming at the Tennessee Titans and the brawl that resulted from it)
Tom Arnold: That is the best thing I've ever seen! No matter what, that hurt!
(Jarrett turns to Jim Kelly)
Jeff Jarrett: You football players take high offense when you lose a Super Bowl and someone brings it up...
(Tom Arnold laughs)
Jim Kelly: Randy Macho Man Savage tried that one time too and he ended up on the bottom also. Hey look, Brian Urlacher - speaking of football - came to one of your events too. He got up in the ring and had some fun too, and I know the Bears couldn't have liked that. What was that all about?
(Footage is shown of Brian Urlacher throwing Jonny Fairplay over the top rope)
Jeff Jarrett: The GM didn't like it at all! That is Jonny Fairplay from Survivor: Pearl Islands. That's Hollywood vs. The NFL and I think the NFL won.
Tom Arnold: Now, David Aquette is a buddy of ours and you wrestled with David. Tell me about that.
Jeff Jarrett: Great guy, great guy. I came into WCW and he's a huge wrestling fan and he helped me win the WCW World Heavyweight Title. There was a movie that came out called "Ready To Rumble" and it featured a three-tiered cage match we used. He was up top and he helped me win the title, so David's a good guy.
Chris Rose: He's a good friend of yours and ours. Did you see him in the hallway before?
(A David Arquette lookalike is shown in the audience)
Jeff Jarrett: There he is! Hey David! He's here!
Chris Rose: Then there's The Hulkster as well....
Tom Arnold: Yea, what happened in Japan?
Jeff Jarrett: The Hulkster was running his mouth saying he wanted some of Jeff Jarrett and he wanted the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Instead of him coming to TNA, I took TNA to him.
(Footage is shown of Jeff Jarrett attacking Hulk Hogan in Japan)
Tom Arnold: Wow!
Jeff Jarrett: I flew to Japan and did it during a press conference and that's the last people have heard from Hulk Hogan - last I hear he's at Tampa Bay Lightning games cheering those guys on. So I think he's turned into a cheerleader now.
Jim Kelly: I just read that Hulk and Randy Savage were thinking about joining TNA. Is that true?
Jeff Jarrett: There's a lot of free agents on the market right now, and with our new show coming up...you know we've been in existence for two years, we do a Pay-Per-View every Wednesday night and we've got a new show starting here, so there's a lot of free agents on the market. You know a lot about free agency, don't you?
Jim Kelly: I've been a big wrestling fan since Bruno Sammartino's days, and I'm telling you these guys work out harder than any football player.
Tom Arnold: And you know it hurts! It can't possibly not hurt!
Jeff Jarrett: And we don't have an off season either - 52 weeks a year. We don't have time off.
Jim Kelly: That's unbelievable.
Chris Rose: Real quick, talk about the show that's going to be debuting here on FOX.
Jeff Jarrett: It's debuting June 4th at 3 PM on Fox Sports Net, the show is going to be called "Impact!"
Tom Arnold: Finally, a good show on Fox Sports Net!
(The crowd applauds)
Chris Rose: June 4th on Fox Sports Net!
Tom Arnold: I'll be watching!
Chris Rose: Jeff Jarrett, thanks for joining us here.
Jeff Jarrett: Guys, I appreciate it!
