Jeff Jarrett didn't see this coming.
In recent weeks, fans have rallied around Jeff Jarrett. The groundswell began with his emotional promos about the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, as Jarrett opened up about his bond with Hart. Hangman Page eliminated Jarrett from the tournament, but he played a part in the finals, as he was the enforcer and he took over when the referee got knocked down.
Speaking on My World with Jeff Jarrett, the WWE Hall of Famer was asked to share his thoughts on the way fans have been embracing him.
“I assume a very, very, very small fraction have kind of seen the Owen Hart interviews. So I don’t expect this overwhelming [reaction]. I’m grateful for it, I think it’s unique, the timing of it all. I will embrace it, I’ll do whatever I need to do. But I just think that I have been a heel for 30 years. I just don’t think overnight, ‘Oh, man.’ I don’t know. More than anything, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, I’m very curious to see where all this goes. I really am. I don’t want to say reinventing yourself because it’s not that because the people have to accept it and the twists and turns. But me being in a babyface in 2024, who would have thunk?" Jarrett said.
