Matt Hardy Provides Details for Jeff Jarrett & TNA Episode for Dark Side of the Ring’s Season Seven Premiere

As noted before, the upcoming new season of VICE TV’s Dark Side of the Ring series will feature a three-part episode based on Jeff Jarrett and TNA Wrestling for its season premiere.

A recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast featured co-host Matt Hardy providing some details regarding the upcoming TNA episode of Dark Side of the Ring.

“In speaking with Jeff Jarrett, had a great conversation with him a couple months ago, and he told me they were talking about doing this, and they’re doing a Dark Side of the Ring, which is kind of a redemption story, which is very cool.

We were sold on it. While we were out in Vegas, Jeff and I both did very long-form interviews talking about everything from the very beginning. When we first met Jeff Jarrett, interacting with him, him and Owen asking if they could put the Tag Team titles on us when we were wearing tights back in the day with hope and faith and plaids, just for a few weeks to kind of build us and make us. Go into everything that Jeff Jarrett has been through, losing his friend Owen, losing his first wife, how his life has been.”

Hardy also gave his thoughts about TNA’s redemption and how the company has been “thriving” on AMC since its new television deal with the network.

“Even up to that with TNA, whenever we left, whenever we returned to WrestleMania 33, WWE, just the whole to-do. And it felt great to be a part of something that did feel like a redemption story. Because not only did we talk about how Jeff Jarrett came out the other end in a much better place and how he has gained everyone’s respect from what he has done, we talked about the condition of TNA right now, how it is in a good place and it is actually thriving on AMC.”

Hardy also gave his thoughts about his belief that the upcoming TNA episode could be the “biggest star power” episode Dark Side of the Ring has ever produced over how many people were interviewed for the project. Hardy stated that he and his brother Jeff were both interviewed for more than two hours each for the episode.

The upcoming new seventh season of Dark Side of the Ring is currently scheduled to premiere on July 7th on VICE TV.
