On this episode of My World with Jeff Jarrett, Jeff Jarrett and host Conrad Thompson dive headfirst into the realities of the wrestling business past and present.

Jeff compares breaking into the business in your 20s to surviving a season of Survivor—cutthroat competition, locker room politics, and learning on the fly just to stay afloat. He also weighs in on the idea of a Hair vs. Hair match in 2026 and whether that old school stipulation still moves the needle in today's landscape.

The conversation turns to The Rock and his recent WWE disappearing act that has the wrestling world buzzing what's strategy, what's timing, and what might really be happening behind the scenes? Jeff also gives his take on the WrestleMania ticket crawl and what slow sales actually mean in today's premium live event economy.

Plus, Jarrett opens up about John Laurinaitis aka Johnny Ace and what it was like operating in the pressure cooker environment of working under Vince McMahon.

Straight talk, hard earned perspective, and no sugarcoating this is My World at full throttle.
