Jeff Jarrett on how important is the Owen Hart Tournament

On the latest AEW Collision tapings, a video package was played where Jeff Jarrett spoke about why he is entering the 2024 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. In the tapings, Jarrett emotionally revealed how important the tournament is for him. Jarrett shared his bond with Owen Hart and promised that he would win the tournament and stand in the middle of the ring in Owen Hart’s hometown, Calgary.

Jeff Jarrett on the video tapings said, “When I was asked initially about being in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, all the emotion came back. It’s hard for me to imagine, it’s been 25 years, but there’s so many things about Owen that I remember like it was yesterday. In the late 90s we would become tag team champions and I look back on those days as the favorite days of my career.”

Jarrett continued saying, “I’m a 12-time former World Heavyweight Champion. I’m a two-time Hall of Famer. Owen means more to me than anything I’ve ever done. Earlier this year, Toby Keith passed away, another good buddy of mine. And he had that song ‘Ain’t as good as I once was but I’m good once as I ever was.’ To get the opportunity to win three matches and stand in the middle ring in Owen’s hometown of Calgary, I’m absolutely going to do it.”
