Tony Schiavone is happy that Jeff Jarrett is still performing at a high level.
WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett signed with AEW in 2022. He has had a resurgence in recent weeks, as he has been feuding with former world champion "Hangman" Adam Page. He also had a role in Bryan Danielson's final countdown, as he gave "The American Dragon" a pep talk and later faced him in an Anything Goes match on the August 7th episode of AEW Dynamite.
Speaking on his What Happened When Podcast, Tony Schiavone discussed the match between Jeff Jarrett and Bryan Danielson on AEW Dynamite. He went on to praise both Jarrett and Danielson, and he noted that he has loved everything that Jarrett has done in AEW.
“Double J just put it all on the line. Bryan always does, that’s no surprise there. Double J did. [I] went back and talked to him after the show and saw that he was bleeding, and I said, ‘I want to thank you for putting your health on the line to give us a good show.’ He looked at me and kind of smiled. I said, ‘No, I’m serious, I really am,’ and I shook his hand, it’s something I do all the time. He just stepped up big time, which is not a surprise [to] anyone who knows Jeff Jarrett. The longevity in the sport for Jeff Jarrett is because of how great of a performer that he has been throughout the years. I know obviously his family was involved in wrestling, so he was kind of born into the business and he ran TNA at one time, so he’s kind of been in charge. But he comes back to AEW and I think performs admirably. I’ve loved everything that Jeff Jarrett has done since he’s arrived. Jeff Jarrett, you don’t think this, but when you get to know him, you realize how much of a pro he really is. He’s the ultimate pro, and I’m so glad that he is able to perform on a high level still, and so happy I’ve gotten to know Jeff and Karen and Cody and the whole crew. It’s been great. Congratulations [to] Jeff Jarrett to give us this match leading into Wembley," Schiavone said.
Schiavone recently said that he loved the use of special guest Ricky Steamboat in the match between Jarrett and Danielson. Check out his comments here.
