WWE Hall Of Famer, Jeff Jarrett recently spoke to WrestlingInc.com about his recent WWE Royal Rumble surprise appearance and his ring gear that night.
On getting the call to appear:
“I got the call and I said, ‘What’s the game plan? Where are we headed,’” stated Jarrett. “They said ‘Double J.’ You’re talking about the original Double J? I’ve had a couple of evolutions – Jeff Jarrett in 1986 in Tennessee to WWF to WCW to TNA to AAA and a few places in between to New Japan and Bullet Club and all of that. So, I said if I’m doing Double J, I’ve got to go all the way.”
The ring gear he wore:
“There’s only a couple pairs of tights I’ve worn throughout my career that I don’t have. I save everything. Last year at the Hall of Fame, I had to go to the warehouse and get that stuff because they requested it to put it out at Axxess. Those are the tights that I wore at WrestleMania 11 – me vs. Razor Ramon…. Those were the tights, so 24 years later Nick, I dug them up and put those same tights on.”
