Wow. When Tom Arnold is your biggest supporter you might as well pull the plug.

Such negativity is not appreciated here.

I don't think you should be banned from the TNA folder for posting negative things so much as you do it in EVERY thread. We get you don't like TNA. Stop posting negative shit in every thread. Plus you have this arrogant attitude about it all.

 

edit-This was to MikeSC by the way.

The company isn't good. My posts on SD are basically pretty darned negative, too.

Criticism tends to be misconstrued as arrogance. If you mistake it as such, have a blast doing so.

I'm getting tired of the negativity as well, maybe it's cuz I'm normally a positive person, but hey, Mike can say whatever he pleases. I don't have to agree.

 

And no one said Arnold was TNA's biggest supporter...he just said he'll be watching.

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!
