While speaking to Jonathan Zaslow on The Zaslow Show, Jeff Jarrett shared his views on wrestlers using social media to express their grievances about their spots on television.
Jeff Jarrett pointed out that social media has a double-edged sword that wrestlers need to be aware of. Jarrett explained why wrestlers who complain about their booking on social media will be viewed negatively.
>“Here’s what I’ve learned through the years, it’s an old philosophical quote, ‘Each and every day, the older I get, the more I understand that I absolutely know nothing.’ It’s the different platforms. I have five kids, all different ranges, my younger ones don’t know a life without social media. It’s the evolution. Years ago, talent that didn’t have social media and liked to complain, where did they complain? They complained at the nightclubs, at the gym, in the dressing room. It’s all the same. Now, the double-edged sword is, these guys complain, they don’t understand, they’re creating a narrative of who their character is.>Guys in the years gone by that complained, when they stepped through the curtain, that’s what the public consumes this as. Now, when you peel the onion back and this guy is complaining or bitching, that kind of defines their character. You are literally giving the audience the opportunity to vote yes or no on, ‘Am I going to spend my money and my time and get emotionally engaged in this character?’ That’s the reality. Some folks, as we speak, they learned their lessons the hard way, unfortunately.”https://www.ringsidenews.com/2023/04/27/jeff-jarrett-criticizes-wrestlers-who-complain-about-booking-on-social-media/
