Jeff Jarrett recalls his match with Bryan Danielson.
On the August 7 edition of AEW Dynamite, Jeff Jarrett and Bryan Danielson faced off in singles action for the first time ever, competing in an Anything Goes bout. The match was received well universally, with some fans even stating that it was some of the best work of Jarrett's career.
On the latest edition of his My World podcast, Jarrett talked about how he only started feeling sore on the Friday and Saturday after the match.
“Today, [I’m feeling] much better. My partner Jay Lethal texts me on Saturday morning — so match on Wednesday, Thursday, it’s funny, just not being in that regular cadence of working twice a week or whatever it may be, it’s just kind of a whole different thing. I’m not gonna say my biological age has anything to do with it, I’m not going to speak that into existence. Thursday, I was fine. Friday morning, I woke up and I went okay, here’s the soreness, gotta work off through that. Saturday, I was still sore. Chin is now an issue, but I was pretty sore."
Jarrett then explained why he had to get five stitches on his chin after the bout.
“If you saw that finish when the American Dragon did his high knee with the steel folding metal chair, I took one on the chin. As he hit me, it wasn’t the initial impact, but as the chair fell to the floor, my chin caught it on the mat. All good, five stitches. It comes with the territory. It is what it is."
'The Last Outlaw' then went on to say that the entire evening was special in so many different ways.
“As somebody pointed out, I thought it was pretty cool. The photo of Steamboat raising both of our hands? That is a very cool moment for this old kid from Nashville, Tennessee. It was cool, who would’ve thought man? It was a special evening in so many ways. It was definitely a special night.”
With Jarrett behind him, Danielson is now focused on his AEW World Championship match with Swerve Strickland at AEW All In. Check out the updated lineup for that show here.
