MAJOR NEWS: JEFF JARRETT REGAINS NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FROM RAVEN IN CANADA ON THURSDAY NIGHT!
America’s Most Wanted shocks the fans by helping Jarrett win the gold

(Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada) – The self-proclaimed “King of the Mountain” Jeff Jarrett regained the NWA World Heavyweight Title on Thursday night in Oldcastle, Ontario, Canada, defeating Raven with the help of America’s Most Wanted.

In a shocking turn of events, “Wildcat” Chris Harris and “Cowboy” James Storm turned their backs on the fans and aligned themselves with Jarrett, ultimately costing Raven the bout and the World Title.

The NWA World Heavyweight Title match took place under the banner of Border City Wrestling out of Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Following the bout, NWA Championship Committee member Larry Zbyszko was in contact with the promoters of the show, and Zbyszko has informed TNAwrestling.com the title change is indeed official.

Thanks to America’s Most Wanted, Jeff Jarrett has fulfilled his proclamation of being NWA World Heavyweight Champion with the debut of “iMPACT!” on SpikeTV on October 1.

“I told Raven…I told EVERYONE that for the good of TNA Wrestling, I needed to be NWA World Heavyweight Champion when we hit SpikeTV!” Jarrett told TNAwrestling.com via phone after the bout. “I knew TNA management was trying to keep me down, so I had to get that title back on MY terms in Canada where they couldn’t stop me! Chris Harris and James Storm were the only ones out of that entire locker room who had the brains to listen to me. They made the right choice! Now roll out the red carpet, because YOUR champion - The King Of The Mountain - and America’s Most Wanted – the cornerstones of TNA - are coming to SpikeTV, and there’s nothing TNA management can do to stop us!”

“Jarrett was right all along – it was time for America’s Most Wanted to finally look after OUR best interests for a change,” Chris Harris told TNAwrestling.com. “We built this company from the ground up and we’ll be damned if anyone was going to take our spot – the spot we RIGHTFULLY own. Who was looking out for us? The fans? TNA management? Raven? No – Jeff Jarrett was looking out for us. And guess what? Now we’ve got his back, and now WE call all the shots.”

James Storm added: “By the way…hey Naturals, shine up the tag team titles – it’s only a matter of time now before they’re coming home, one way or another. Sorry ‘bout your damn luck…”

Raven left the arena immediately following the bout and refused to comment on the situation.

TNAwrestling.com will have a further update on Friday afternoon following the events that unfolded on Thursday night in Ontario with the crowning of new NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett!

Lol, that's pretty cool how that happened. The Heavyweight Belt changing in Canada and probably not that many fans knowing about it either. Kind of an Underground Wrestling event. Of course I like Raven better, but like Jarrett's style and glad he is back in TNA for some more "Impact". Jarrett always said he was the "Chosen One", so maybe he is, lol.

[Cradle Shock]

Gutted.

The two things I wanted least in the world: Jarrett regaining the title, and AMW turning heel! WTF is that about???

[Wrestling Chick]

I'm with you, Cradle Shock (love the name, BTW, cuz Chris Sabin is pretty great). One could argue the political reasons for Jarrett becoming champion at a houseshow, but I don't like to go there, cuz it jades me to wrestling. I just wonder who his opponent's gonna be at Bound for Glory now.

[Dr. Wrestling]

Jeff Jarrett shouldn't be the NWA TNA Heavy Weight champion.

[Wrestling Chick]

Dr. Wrestling, could you give a reason (or reasons) as to why you think Jarrett shouldn't be World champion? I'm not saying I disagree with you, I'm just saying that it might help create discussion if people offer more than just an opinion statement. Like, i think Jeff Jarrett shouldn't be World Champion because there are other guys who need that exposure, or who would do well with that kinda focus on them. Everyone knows Jarrett's family ties with TNA, and he's been called the "Triple H of TNA" plenty o' times. That doesn't help my argument, cuz I actually like Triple H. LOL However, whereas I like to watch Hunter wrestle on every PPV, I *don't* wanna see Jarrett hogging the TNA main-events. He just doesn't have the appeal like the 'Game' does to be able to do that.

[Cradle Shock]

There may be a method to the madness, according to this article from wrestleview.com. I'm just hyperlinking cos I think the site is great and I'd like you all to check it out. The piece about Jarrett is at the bottom, btw.

I've said it before and I'll say it again Jeff Jarrett shouldn't be the NWA TNA Heavy Weight champion because he has been in the main event of almost every TNA PPV. There are other wrestlers that should be in the main event and I think TNA could have made Rhino a main event star again if he would have won the title or atleast continued the feud with Raven for the title. Jarrett was a mid carder in WWE and being a mid carder in WWE doesn't make him a main event wrestler in TNA.

Previously this was all you said:

Indeed, Cradle Shock, TNA does often push its X-Division over its Heavyweight division most of the time. I wonder if it's because WWE does the exact opposite. I happen to like seeing both divisions in both companies get equal time, because I'm all about balance. Besides, who's to say Jarrett won't drop the title to somebody else at a houseshow before TNA hits Spike TV. One o' my mottos is: " I shall never forget that the probability of a miracle, although infinitesmally small, is not exactly zero!"

We can still dream, eh? The only flaw in that theory is that Scott D'Amore books TNA and Border City Wrestling, where the title change happened, and he wouldn't have someone win the belt to lose it in a week or two, I think.

There's still a possibility, though... Nah, I totally get what you're saying.
