AEW’s Jeff Jarrett talks guitar shots

All Elite Wrestling star Jeff Jarrett for using a guitar as a foreign object to gain an advantage over his opponents in and out of the ring.

Jarrett has been involved in professional wrestling for nearly 40 years, but he first honed his guitar-shredding prowess while in WWE in the early 1990s. He took that to World Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and later AEW.

He offered a brief overview of some of the “unique” guitar takes he’s delivered throughout his career.

“It’s hard to name one, you’re going to give me a hard time,” he told Fox News Digital. “I will say this, one of the most unique, Fabulous Moolah, a 71-year-old woman, came up to me before I hit her and said if you don’t knock me down, I’m going to beat you up when you get back here. She’s a tough woman. The Beetlejuice of Howard Stern fame is always there. That’s talked about to this day. Gary Coleman.”

Jarrett also revealed that he once went to Japan just to give Hulk Hogan a guitar shot.

“But does this have anything to do with professional wrestlers, with Sting, with Hulk Hogan? I flew to Japan, I can say that as part of my career, I literally flew to Japan, got off the plane, went to the arena, waited a few hours, waited for the show to end, went to the press conference, knocked out Hulk Hogan with a guitar shot, took a shower, made a plan and came home. I think he should be there at the top, too,” he said.

Jarrett joined AEW as a wrestler in 2022 and was later promoted to AEW’s director of business development.

Professional wrestling is a far cry from when Jarrett started in 1986 and was even at the peak of his in-ring career with WWE and WCW.

Fans of the sport can watch professional wrestling on TV or via streaming at least six nights a week, sometimes seven nights with pay-per-view broadcasts on Sundays. AEW schedules span at least two days, with “Dynamite” on Wednesdays and “Collision” on Saturdays.

“Who would have ever imagined that professional wrestling would be played, there are literally weeks in prime time seven nights a week,” he told Fox News Digital. “It’s on ESPN. It’s on HBO Max. When you really get down to it, wait a minute, HBO is the home of filling the last void, you know for 30 years, the highest-quality programming created for TV. And AEW, which I’m a partner with, ‘Dynamite,’ ‘Collision’ is on HBO Max, it’s on ESPN, it’s on Netflix, we can go on and on.”

“From my perspective, that’s a really important thing. I’m really proud to be a part of the industry because you can look at all kinds of fun in music… they constantly take a page out of the pro wrestling book when they’re on tour. I don’t have to tell you about the world of sports, every football dance or celebration or the championship belts that teams get when they win, we’re integrated into every major professional sport.”

“When you look at the episodic nature of our shows, the television industry has always been amazing. ‘Wait, guys, you live 52 weeks a year?’ they say. ‘We’re having a hard time getting eight or 10 episodes or a season of a show and you don’t have a season?’ So, this has been really long awaited, but thanks to iterations, pro wrestling is there. “We are no longer a dirty, four-letter world.”
