AEW stars The Acclaimed are no strangers to stirring up controversy when it comes to Max Caster’s pointed barbs at opponents, and at AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash, the star took aim at Jeff Jarrett. The Acclaimed and their ally Billy Gunn have been feuding with Jeff Jarrett’s faction as of late on AEW programming, and the rap entitled RASSLE included the line:
“Ain’t you stealing money like it’s Kurt Angle’s wife”
The insult in question refers to the fact that Jarrett’s wife Karen used to be married to Kurt Angle, and many fans assume her relationship with Jarrett began before she was divorced from the Olympic gold medalist.
However, Karen Jarrett hit back at those claims, alleging that her former husband had multiple affairs during the time they were married, and that she and Kurt were living separately when she began her relationship with Jarrett.
“I’m Literally Sick Of It” – Jeff Jarrett Says He’s Tired Of His Wife Being Caused Pain With Accusations Like Max Caster’s
Speaking on the latest episode of My World (available early and ad-free via AdFreeShows), Jeff Jarrett addressed Max Caster’s rap on AEW Dynamite, setting the record straight about his marriage.
“The whole, that I’m stealing Kurt Angle’s wife, that is kind of a generation removed. I want to kind of set the record straight here, and this is completely with all due respect. I’ve kept my mouth shut for 10 or 12 years for two reasons, Kyra Angle and Kody Angle. They’re old enough now. They know the absolute truth, but me stealing Kurt’s wife is the furthest thing from the truth.”
“The fact of the matter is when we hired Kurt Angle, and I say we, me and Dixie Carter, because she’s a part of this story, they (Kurt and Karen), were legally separated. They weren’t living under the same roof.
“Enough is enough. We’re 13 years removed from this and I’m sure Kurt is, I would assume, he’s sick and tired of it because he tweeted and tried to get in AEW business and he tweeted and that’s why I said I wanted to address this. He tweeted, and when you got to use my name to get heat after 12 years, Kurt Angle, if you think I need your name to get heat after 12 years, you’re delusional Kurt.”
Continuing, Jarrett said that he’s tired of his wife being caused pain by comments like this and blasted former TNA owner Dixie Carter and Vince Russo for their part in handling the situation.
“I am sick and tired of my wife having to go through this pain. I’m literally sick of it. Conrad, you know the names. I’m not gonna say the names. I respect that. The past is the past. Look, there’s a lot of disasters, marriages, it happens all the time. But for Max Caster to pour gasoline on my wife, I’m done with that. I am so done with that, and I’m not done because everybody’s gonna say, ‘Well wait a minute. Y’all work the storyline and this and that.’
“Yeah, here’s the real situation. Yeah, I got sent home and the whole world, including Max Caster thinks, oh, yeah, you got sent home because of that whole disaster and Bubba the Love Sponge or whatever it was. No, the fact of the matter is Dixie Carter, for the third time, pulled a power play. She tried the first one during my wife’s illness. The second one was about 12 months later. The third one was during this, and I gave her the rope to hang me. She went to her father and said, ‘Oh, we can’t have this.’
“She didn’t give two shits about Kurt Angle. She wanted to powerplay to run the tale. Oh, yeah, and you know what, that’s exactly what happened, and in 24 months, she put the company in a financial death spiral, so her power player put, essentially out of the business.
“Vince Russo’s absolutely a part of this. Vince’s whole plan was to go along with it. He knew damn well. He knew damn well the Kurt and Karen situation. He knew absolutely all of it. He sat on the sidelines just like Kurt was. We’re just gonna let Jeff sit home. Guess what? Jeff’s just trying to put his life back together? No, but let him sit home because Vince Russo’s plan was, I’ll get Jeff out and I can write the show by myself.
“Little did she know, Dixie Carter, and I was at the original lunch, hired Hulk Hogan. So then Vince Russo had to had to answer to Hulk, then Eric, Bruce was a part of that equation. The running joke for six months in 2010 was, ‘Well Russo tried his power play along with Dixie, but look what happened to him now.'”
“I’m sick of it, Conrad. I’m absolutely sick of the BS of my wife, I am defending my wife. I’m absolutely sick of all the crap. Max Caster, you crossed the line. Pal, you have no idea of the can of worms you’ve opened? None. A receipt is coming Wednesday. I assure you that.”
Jeff Jarrett went on to say that Max Caster has “multiple receipts” coming for stirring up his family’s past.
“A Lot of water under the bridge. Lots. But you invoking my wife’s name, she don’t have no paper with AEW. Completely out of line. So I’ll just say this. There’s a lot of moving parts Wednesday night. We all know this is an industry, so who knows what’s going to happen, but I will say this. Max, you have multiple receipts coming, multiple, and you’ll know it. I can assure you that. You will know it. You think I’m working? You think this is a podcast? You think this is bla bla bla. You’ll find out. I assure you that.”
