When Jeff Jarrett was signed to a contract in All Elite Wrestling, no one knew what to make of this. While he was mainly brought on to help expand the live event market of AEW – he’s also found an on-screen role, proving that his heel charisma still makes him a great villain in 2023. He will be involved in the Fatal Four Way match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships this weekend at AEW Revolution, teaming with Jay Lethal. In addition to these roles, Jarrett has been trying to help younger talent – and thinks the next breakout star in the company will need to come from charisma and promo skills.
Jeff Jarrett Knows What Will Make The Next Breakout Star For AEW
While speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Jarrett was asked about if he’s been giving advice to the younger talent of AEW – and had the following to say.
“What I’ve found out through my journey is that guys that want to learn will come up and ask. Guys that don’t want to learn, don’t. The minute I go up and try to give unsolicited advice, for whatever reason, it never goes the right way. I have found, and there have been a few, that ability to convey emotion…here’s the world we live in, I think it goes way outside of wrestling.
Kids being coachable or wanting to be produced are so few and far between. Nobody can produce themselves. It doesn’t work. Everyone has a certain level of charisma, it’s the ones who know how to get the charisma out. You have different guys to have breakout years and moments. I’m not going to sit here and say I define the next level, because the next level goes with ratings, merchandise, YouTube views, selling more tickets, it’s all of the above.
The guy who is truly the breakout, it’s going to be by his mouth. You’re not going to see a new move that gets somebody over. It’s somebody who breaks through the crowd, but it’s going to be by their verbal skills. That’s what I wish guys would hone in on and take a step back and say, ‘I have to be a better talker. If I can be a better talker, that’s going to keep me at the top of the card.’ Who is that going to be? That’s a great question.”
