Former WCW World Champion Jeff Jarrett has revealed who he thinks really killed WCW
The “Who Killed WCW?” docuseries on Vice TV has concluded, culminating in its series finale airing on June 25th. The show featured insightful talking head segments from prominent figures such as Vince Russo, whose current disdain for the wrestling business was evident, and Bret Hart, who still harbours resentment towards Goldberg and his time with WCW.
The series also included a myriad of other WCW stars who shared their perspectives on what led to the demise of the company. However, the absence of certain notable names from the docuseries did not go unnoticed. One glaring omission from the show was AEW star Jeff Jarrett, a pivotal figure in WCW, particularly during its waning days. Addressing his absence on the “My World” podcast, Jarrett shed light on why he was not involved, stating:
Unofficially, I might have been I don’t know … one of the early ones, but I was aware of it. I’ll say this. I assumed, and I think they assumed I was going to be a part of it, it didn’t work out and I would assume that me signing with AEW [kept him off the show].
Jarrett has previously collaborated with the creators of the “Who Killed WCW?” series, having been featured on both “Dark Side of the Ring” and “Tales from the Territories.” In light of his absence from the show, Jarrett was pressed to share his views on who or what he believes led to WCW’s downfall. Unhesitatingly, Jarrett pointed the finger at one individual, stating:
At the end of the day, there’s one man that killed WCW, and that’s Vince McMahon by design. It was, I can’t say his single focus, but it was right up there as one of the top priorities that I believe drove him, day in and day out.
