AEW’s Jeff Jarrett opens up about the wrestling legends he wishes he had faced in the ring.
In the world of professional wrestling, few names resonate as profoundly as Jeff Jarrett. With a career spanning decades and multiple wrestling promotions, Jarrett has faced a plethora of legends in the squared circle. Yet, even someone with his extensive resume has a few “what ifs.” Recently, Jarrett opened up about two wrestling titans he wishes he had the chance to face: Andre the Giant and Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Intriguingly, both these legends are set to feature in the upcoming video game, WrestleQuest.
Jarrett’s journey in wrestling is nothing short of legendary. He’s seen it all, from the glitzy arenas of WWE to the intense rivalries in WCW and TNA, and now making waves in AEW. But there are gaps in this illustrious journey. Jarrett fondly recalls the times when Andre the Giant worked with his father in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Despite their paths crossing backstage, they never locked horns in a match. Similarly, Jake Roberts, known for his psychological warfare and iconic snake, is another legend Jarrett missed out on.
The world of wrestling is filled with dream matches that fans conjure up, and for Jarrett, these two stand out. While he can’t turn back time, the world of video gaming offers a semblance of that dream. With both Andre and Jake featured in WrestleQuest, fans might get a virtual taste of what a Jarrett showdown with them might have looked like.
But Jarrett’s journey isn’t over. When probed about current wrestlers on his radar, he played his cards close to his chest, teasing potential surprises for AEW Dynamite viewers. One thing’s for sure, though: fans are in for a treat with his upcoming “Texas Chain Saw Massacre Deathmatch” against Jeff Hardy on August 16, a promotional event for an upcoming horror game. And those who can’t get enough of Jarrett can relive some of his iconic moments in the WrestleQuest video game, set to launch on August 22.
