TNA Jeff Jarrett DVD Review

TNA Jeff Jarrett: King of the Mountain DVD Review

By Phil Allely

Jeff Jarrett has pretty much done it all in wrestling, working for the likes of Vince McMahon (WWE), Eric Bischoff (WCW) and of course the USWA alongside co-owner Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. He has also netted himself many headline runs, title wins and also had his fair share of stand out matches.

Jeff is now better known as the man who built TNA, personally funding the company in its beginnings and forging the partnerships that have kept it in business today. This four disc set takes a look at Jeff’s TNA career (2002-2008) and throws in a look at some of his earlier matches too.

In recent years Jarrett’s personal life has preceded his in-ring actions and although he now has no real say in the day-to-day running of TNA (Dixie Carter having majority control) Jeff is still a prominent character on and off screen and remains as an ambassador for the promotion in many areas.

The matches on this lavish set cover all the bases for Jarrett’s TNA tenure. We see him face legends such as Sting, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner. There are enjoyable outings with TNA originals AJ Styles and Samoa Joe, plus entertaining bouts with Team 3D and The Road Warriors amongst others.

Having a four disc release based on one person does prove to be a bit repetitive at times however. There are a number of excellent matches here, but when you factor in such characters as Raven, Dusty Rhodes and even Sean Waltman, they usually make up for the athleticism by pulling out all of the stops in the entertainment stakes.

The good point here also is that we get to see the six-sided old style TNA ring in use too.
