Jeff Jarrett and MJF Segment

Jeff Jarrett:
He says the last few weeks have been humbling for him.

MJF interrupts

MJF:
He says he offered Jarrett the opportunity of a lifetime. Calls himself a living legend, he puts emphasis on the last In ‘the last outlaw’ claiming Jarrett is the last thing you see before your favourite wrestling company dies, he calls Jarrett a raging alcoholic then quickly says recovering, he says he’ll send Jarrett back to rehab but asks if “that sexy milf” Karen Jarrett can stick around but he’ll send her back to him once he’s done so he can find out what a generational talent and Olympic gold medalists balls taste like.

Jeff Jarrett:
He says everything MJF said was prude and stupid and all been said before thousands of times. He knows his best years are behind him but in the Owen Hart Tournament the fans made him feel passionate about wrestling again. He tells MJF he was doing what MJF does with the insults and zingers way before him and did it better than him. He calls MJF a dumbass and a scumbag, he feels sorry for Max being raised by a call girl mother and when his dad knocked her up, she still made him pay for it. He calls Max’s girlfriend a Canadian call girl ans when Max went 60 minutes with Will Ospreay she went 60 minutes with 10 other wrestlers in the parking lot (car park). He claims MJf is a scared little boy inside, scared to enter the casino gauntlet last week, scared his best years are behind him at 28 years old and scared of being a one hit wonder.

MJF:
He says he’s nothing like Jarrett. He’s the one to thank for records pay per views buys, the biggest event in company history All In 2023. He was screwed out of the AEW World championship and had everything ripped from under him. He needs to win it back. He says no wrestling fan ever cares about Jarrett but what pisses him off is Jarrett is a leech, riding the coattails of his deceased friend,

Jeff Jarrett attacks MJF, referee tries to stop him, Karen Jarrett comes out and tries to talk sense into him, MJF grabs Karen to help him retreat.

(sorry it’s a lot more than I usually write for promos but it was full was zingers)
