Dark Side of the Ring’s new three-part look at Jeff Jarrett and TNA delivers two strong episodes built around Jarrett’s WWF exit, his rocky TNA ownership run, and his marriage to Karen Jarrett. The problem is whose story actually gets told. Kurt Angle is discussed at length by his ex-wife and never once speaks for himself in these two episodes. Vince Russo’s creative chaos gets real scrutiny, but AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, and Samoa Joe never got the push their in-ring work clearly earned. Awesome Kong’s revelation about a real pay gap in the Knockouts division deserved a full segment instead of a passing mention. It’s an entertaining watch, but so far it’s Jeff Jarrett’s version of TNA, not TNA’s own story.
AEW Redemption is two weeks away with only one match confirmed and a Bell Centre that isn’t selling. Kenny Omega beat MJF for the AEW World Championship the same week, while CM Punk ended Sami Zayn’s nine-day WWE Championship reign in Chicago, setting up Cody Rhodes vs. Punk at SummerSlam.
