AEW’s Jeff Jarrett Comments On Being Subject Of Wrestling Documentary

“The Jeff Jarrett Story: Heart of a Promoter” was recently released by Jarrett himself through his podcast partner Conrad Thompson. The documentary focuses on his journey through the industry from WCW to the creation of TNA Wrestling and GFW.

In a special episode ahead of the release of the documentary, Jarrett went into some behind-the-scenes commentary about the industry during his rise and how it felt like to be the subject of the documentary. 

“I feel honored, humbled, but uncomfortable,” Jarrett admitted during an episode of his “My World” podcast. “Man, oh, man, it was the wild-wild west. I know, as a talent, and travel, a lot of grind going on.” 

Jarrett is notably not the only veteran to enjoy a documentary about his life and career in recent years. The late Sabu was the subject of a documentary filmed right before his final pro wrestling match on April 18th at GCW Spring Break 9. At the time of filming, Sabu was still alive, so the documentary features the ECW legend commenting on several aspects of his career. Despite his in-ring ability and willingness to put his body on the line, Sabu never picked up many accolades, and, based on the trailers released before the documentary, this was a central point of his story.

Tony Khan Promises Follow-Up On Unresolved AEW Storyline

One of All Elite Wrestling’s biggest mysteries can be traced back to the March 3, 2021 edition of “AEW Dynamite,” during which NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and Jade Cargill defeated Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet in mixed tag team competition. En route to victory, O’Neal crashed through a pair of tables, prompting officials to load him into an ambulance. When AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone later checked on O’Neal’s condition, though, he was nowhere to be seen.

Speaking with “TMZ’s Inside The Ring,” AEW CEO Tony Khan addressed O’Neal’s yet-to-be-solved disappearance. “Stay tuned,” he said when directly asked what happened to O’Neal. “One of these days it is going to happen. It is a good reason to stay tuned. It has been years, but I know eventually that mystery will be solved. Shaq and his whereabouts when they went to check the ambulance, they will find him. People ask me every day, I get all the time, ‘where is Shaq?'”

Rhodes caused himself and O’Neal to plummet through the tables when he delivered a crossbody over the top rope. From there, Cargill managed to survive a spear from Velvet before laying her out with a Jaded for the team victory.

Years before his in-ring “Dynamite” debut, O’Neal stepped into the ring to compete in the 2016 Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WWE WrestleMania 32. In 2011, he officially retired from basketball after memorable years with the Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, and other teams.

“For me, growing up as a big Lakers fan and now not only having been able to go to so many Laker games over the years there, but now to bring AEW there,” Khan said. “For me, one of the highlights of everything we’ve ever done in AEW was to have Shaq in AEW.”

WWE Reveals New Premium Seating Concept For WrestleMania 42

WWE has officially revealed a unique new viewing option for WrestleMania 42, giving fans a chance to experience the event from a completely different perspective inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

In collaboration with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, WWE confirmed that for the first time ever, select seating will be installed directly on top of the WrestleMania set. These premium seats will offer an elevated vantage point, providing a distinctive way to watch the action unfold across both nights of the event on April 18 and April 19.

Tickets for these limited premium spots are scheduled to go on sale Friday, March 20, beginning at 1 p.m. ET and 10 a.m. PT through Ticketmaster. Due to the unique nature of the seating, availability is expected to be extremely limited.

WrestleMania has long been known for its elaborate, themed stage designs that transform each host venue into a spectacle.

AOP Exit Linked To Backstage Incident During WWE Holiday Tour

The departure of The Authors of Pain from WWE in early 2025 has been linked to an incident that took place during a live event tour in late 2024.

Gzim Selmani, known to WWE fans as Rezar, recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show following his successful Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut. During the interview, he shed light on the situation that ultimately led to AOP’s exit, pointing to a backstage issue that stemmed from a house show match in December 2024.

At the time, AOP had been working a series of matches against The Wyatt Sicks during the holiday tour loop. According to Selmani, tensions arose when one member of the opposing team attempted to alter the structure of the match while it was already in progress.

“Yeah, there was an incident. Very unprofessional from one of those guys, I don’t know their names,” Selmani said. “I don’t want to go into it too deeply, but there was an incident at one of the Holiday Tours that we did. Somebody tried to switch up the match during the match. And that’s just a no-go for me, especially if you’ve just been in the company for a little bit and we were already there for a long time. You know, you don’t do that. And, yeah, I just had to let somebody know. And that was the end of it.”

He did not reveal which member of The Wyatt Sicks was involved but clarified that the disagreement had nothing to do with the outcome of the match. Instead, the issue centered around certain planned spots that one performer reportedly no longer wanted to take, which led to a confrontation backstage after the bout.

“They tried to switch up the match in the middle of the match,” Selmani added. “So, you know, I’m a professional, even if I gotta take a beating in the wrestling ring, I do it. And if you’re going to be a scared little, you know, b*tch, then it’s not my fault, you know? I will let you know backstage.”

Despite the abrupt ending to their WWE run, Selmani expressed satisfaction with what AOP achieved during their time in the company. He admitted that professional wrestling was never something he felt completely at ease with and believes his future lies in combat sports such as BKFC.

The Authors of Pain had two runs with WWE, with their most recent stint seeing them aligned with Karrion Kross as part of The Final Testament. Selmani also spoke candidly about Kross, suggesting the company failed to fully capitalize on his potential.

“Same thing with him, man. He got promised so f***ing much,” Selmani said. “They dropped the ball on that guy. Very sad.”
