It was recently reported by The Wrestling Observer that Toby Keith and Jeff Jarrett did not buy TNA because Bob Carter wanting Dixie Carter to be kept around behind-the-scenes and on TV as a character. For what it's worth, PWInsider notes that they also heard the same story going around. It's said that between Bob Carter and Janice Carter, Janice is more "dollar and cents" oriented while Bob is more about "living a dream."

[b][i]As seen above, Jeff Jarrett and Karen Jarrett have released a new teaser video. Jeff says this is their season of change. Jarrett says his grandmother taught him years ago that a wrestling promotion is nothing without its fans. He mentions Toby Keith told him a while ago to listen to his fans and earn them. Jarrett says to be patient because when the time is right, he will say what needs to be discussed and make the needed announcements.

Regarding Jeff Jarrett's new promotion, while country music star Toby Keith is the main person behind it, it will likely be financed by a group of partners and not just with Keith's money. At last report, Keith was worth $500 million, which is a lot more than Vince McMahon was worth before WWE stock went through the roof. When the group was looking at buying TNA, it was always described as "Nashville music investors."

Jarrett appeared on February 22nd at a sports convention in Nashville and didn't say much about the new promotion except that it is "a go" and he talked about the idea of doing a Tuesday night TV show.

We noted before that Jeff Jarrett hinted at doing a Tuesday night wrestling show at a recent autograph signing. Word now is that this is a case of Jarrett's words being taken out of context. Jarrett actually talked about wrestling being storytelling and that the story would translate on any night of the week. He used Tuesday as an example but said the stories need to be told outside of just one specific night.

Jarrett has been traveling extensively over the past few weeks setting up production, merchandise, talent and international relations with other promotions. Jarrett is reportedly planning for a photo shoot for a "major production company" which will lead into the big announcement that we've all been waiting for. The announcement may be coming before April is the word going around now.
