Jeff Jarrett: ‘I love tribalism’

Jeff Jarrett isn’t bothered by the tribalism that exists online between WWE and AEW fans. While speaking with the Orlando Sentinel, the 57-year-old Jarrett explained why he believes tribalism is a good thing for the pro wrestling industry. The social media environment can sometimes be toxic, but Jarrett thinks evoking emotion and passion from fans helps companies thrive. “I love tribalism,” Jarrett said. “I embrace it because it is the nature of what pro wrestling is –- home team vs. away, good vs. evil, black, white, shades of gray. So many aspects of this world are super-divisive and super-tribalistic. But in wrestling, with that ability to evoke emotion, you create more chatter, you create more passion and you create more revenue.” Jarrett has experienced everything pro wrestling has to offer since growing up in the industry. Currently with AEW as a wrestler and behind-the-scenes employee, he announced earlier this year that he’s re-signed with the promotion for what will be his final in-ring run. Jarrett
