While TNA continues to have financial troubles, it appears that TNA’s original founder is gearing up for a possible new promotion.
In an MLW podcast on Sunday, Konnan noted that Jarrett buried TNA in a conversation they had, saying the promotion was in bad shape and wasnt sure it would make it out of the year.
Konnan noted that Jarrett would have a big announcement this week on a new project. Speculation is that its a new wrestling promotion, with country superstar Toby Keith involved as a founder.
Interestingly, Jim Ross has been mentioned as being attached to the project. Last week, Ross slipped in that he was meeting with a “major sports concern” and this tweet:
“@Judge1979: @JRsBBQ Meeting with Toby Keith eh? Maybe him and @JeffJarrettTNA have an offer you can't refuse? #conspiracytheory” Hmm.
