Jeff Jarrett is a trooper.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, Jeff Jarrett came face-to-face with “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson in an Anything Goes Match. Danielson ultimately emerged victorious in the hard-fought bout after he hit Jarrett with a running knee behind a steel chair.
On the newest episode of his My World podcast, Jarrett revealed that he didn’t just walk away with a loss that night, but also a widespread soreness.
“It’s funny, just not being in that regular cadence of working twice a week or whatever it may be, it’s just kind of a whole different thing. I’m not going to say my biological age has anything to do with [being sore], I’m not going to speak that into existence, but maybe it does. Anyhow, Thursday, I was fine. Friday morning when I woke up, I went ‘Okay here’s the soreness, and I gotta work all through that.’ Saturday, I was still sore. Chin is now itching, but I was pretty sore. That was quite the physical confrontation.”
According to Jarrett, the itchiness surrounding his chin comes from a series of stitches stemming from the finish of his match against Danielson.
“If you saw that finish when the American Dragon did his high knee with the steel, folding metal chair, I took one on the chin as he hit me. It wasn’t the initial impact, but as the chair fell to the floor my chin caught it on the mat,” Jarrett said. “So, all good. Five stitches comes with the territory. It is what it is.”
