Jeff Jarrett recently talked about a wide range of topics on his My World podcast.
During the podcast, the AEW star discussed AEW running a show in Mexico one day.
“Without question. Here is what I think is lost so much — I guess with the first hand experience I’ve had, because I’ve been going down there for twenty years, me and Karen. In Mexico, wrestling is a part of the culture in so many ways. Mexico City, the greater area is like 20, 21 million people or something along those lines. That’s the size of Mumbai, I mean there is an enormous population. Wrestling is all over the country, it has been for multiple generations. The short answer is, it’s not like you’re bringing professional wrestling to a brand new market. It’s part of the culture in Mexico, and the AEW style of wrestling is very applicable to the market in so many ways because you kind of look at, you could name lots of AEW stars that have bits of Lucha in their repertoire.
You’ve got stars that are big business and have done big business. Jericho, in his early days, learned a ton down there. I can go on and on, but the shorter answer is absolutely. Yes, I’m looking forward to hopefully being a part of making that all come together. I would say we’re not too far off in heading that direction and seeing AEW in the market.”
