Karen Jarrett Reacts To Jeff Jarrett’s WWE Hall of Fame Induction

Following last week’s announcement that Jeff Jarrett will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2018, his wife Karen revealed her thoughts on this prestigious honor in a lengthy post on Instagram.

While Karen is overwhelmed with happiness for her husband, she also calls out those in the wrestling industry who showed ‘disrespect and disregard’ for ‘his knowledge, vision, passion, and experience’ for the past seven years (Karen returned to TNA in January 2011 with Jeff after starting a relationship in 2009).

Karen also admits to being outspoken over the years, but it is only because she demands respect for her husband. However, she now feels that those struggles helped both of them grow.

Here is her post.

“The last few nights I have been catching up on social media, news ect…about @realjeffjarrett and I have to say my ❤️ is overflowing with Happiness for him.

“For 7 years I have watched individuals that had NEVER watched wrestling and had NO CLUE about the business behind the scenes or in the ring disrespect and disregard his knowledge, vision, passion and experience. As a wife it is very difficult to watch this and not be able to do something.

“I developed a reputation of being out spoken and a Bitch thru these years from speaking up and demanding respect for my husband. Now I know All those struggles happened for a reason. They helped not just Jeff but also myself grow as a person and taught us many lessons of life, family, friendships, our marriage and business.

“Watching the videos, reading the posts on social media, reading the articles on websites, watching the news ect…NO WORDS can express the JOY it brings to my heart for JEFF!!! He is so humble and never credits himself for the good that he has done or the success he has had in this business. He ALWAYS gives the credit to someone else or puts someone else over and takes the attention off himself. But he is the first to stand up when a mistake has been made and say my fault take the blame and do his best to change or fix things.

“THANK YOU to EVERY single wrestler, promoter, fan, reporter, radio station, news station everyone across the board in this business and outside of this business that has spoke out showing Jeff who he is to you, what he has accomplished in your eyes, how he has impacted your life, what you learned and took w/ you from your time with him, the joy he brought to you as a fan whether you were loving or hating him at the time. I applaud and send love to every single one of you and again say thank you!!!

“I am going to continue to enjoy being quiet watching, listening and smiling as @realjeffjarrett gets the respect and recognition he so deserves!!! #ainthegreat #WWE2018HOF #itishistime #grateful”
