AEW has officially hired Jeff Jarrett as the Director of Business Development for the company. Tony Khan announced the news during this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.

Jarrett appears to be headed toward an in-ring run with the company as well. He made his television debut this week on Dynamite and crushed Darby Allin with a guitar shot to the head. After, Jarrett cut a promo and said he would be taking over AEW and that his family’s history and fingerprints are all over the company.

Jarrett is a WWE Hall of Famer and multiple time world champion, Intercontinental Champion, and tag team champion across WWE, WCW, and Impact Wrestling.

1. Has Jeff ever actually successfully developed a business before?

2. Tony has Jeff Jarrett debut as a seeming outsider cutting an anti-AEW promo... and then announces that they have hired him to a management position. Dude... you don't have to tweet everything! Some news is best coming out quietly from reporters asking about it, and this definitely qualifies because Tony's tweet works against the angle he is hoping to draw money with!

I would call what he did with TNA to be successful for the first few years at least.

Was it, though? Didn't they pretty much never make a profit and needed Panda to stay alive basically entire time until Corgan bought them?
