WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett was recently interviewed on the Pancakes and Powerslams Show to discuss several professional wrestling topics. Jarrett revealed which WWE Raw star he thinks should be in the main event and also if he’d be interested in potentially becoming the SmackDown Live General Manager. Here are the highlights:
Which Raw star he thinks should be in WWE’s main event:
“I think Elias is a true main-event rivalry away from breaking to a completely different level,” said Jarrett. “Not to say that [Elias isn’t already] a main-eventer, but when they have that real rivalry, because if you look back and look at Stone Cold and Rock, Stone Cold and Vince McMahon, Hogan and Savage, Hogan and Warrior, you can just go all the way down that line.
“You gotta look at where Lex Luger was at [in WWE] and when he jumped to WCW. Overnight, he became Sting’s ally, and Sting was on the fence in the nWo storyline. And so, all of a sudden, Lex was that personified WCW face that name his name there, and he really helped nWo a lot more than people give him credit for. Because, again, it was another rivalry made. Lex Luger against nWo, Sting against nWo. And I think Seth and Elias are right in that.”
If he’d like to become SmackDown Live General Manager if Paige was ever medically cleared to return to in-ring action:
“You would have to be a moron not to say [no],” Jarrett said. “Absolutely! Do I think it’s gonna happen? No. But, would it sure be intriguing? Multiple ways to go and, as a famous promoter has once said, ‘never say never.'”
