Jeff Jarrett, a WWE Hall of Famer with decades of experience, recently shared his top advice for wrestlers who are new to the business. Speaking on his “My World With Jeff Jarrett” podcast, he explained what he tells up-and-coming talent.
Jarrett said he keeps his advice simple and to the point. “I say, ‘Hey, man, it’s this simple. If you get in it for money or fame as your number one, and you can put those either way, if that’s the reason you get into this business, you’re not going to make it. You got to get into the industry because you love it,'” he stated was his first piece of advice.
His second key point focuses on what truly leads to a long and successful career. “I say, ‘The second piece of advice is this. Your in ring work is less than half of your success,'” Jarrett explained. He used his own experience wrestling repeatedly in the same venues as an example: “There was no high spot I was going to do in front of the Mid South Coliseum on the 37th Monday in a row that I wrestled there that was going to get the people like, oh, wow. You’re going to run out of that, but man, if you learn how to talk and convey emotion and tell different stories, that’s it.”
