As this story continues to unravel, more insight has been made as to why Jeff Jarrett and his Global Force Wrestling group have had it's business relationship with Anthem Sports severed. It's been reported that Jarrett has been offered to be treated at the WWE's Rehab Program for alcoholism.
This may be the single reason as he was reportedly accused of passing out drunk in the locker room of an independent promotion in Canada, (called Real Canadian Wrestling) before insisting on wrestling a match. Real Canadian Wrestling promoter Steven Ewaschuk stated in an interview with Pro Wrestling Sheet that Jeff showed up to the venue late on Friday, October 20th and appeared to be slightly intoxicated, while claiming his tardiness was due to a customs issue.
Jarrett allegedly said he had trouble at the border and an agent allowed him into Canada under the condition that he’d be back at the airport by 6am the next morning to handle everything.
Ewaschuk then claims Jeff Jarrett continued to drink and ultimately passed out in the locker room during the show. When intermission began, he had to be woken up for pictures. Jeff then got ready for his match, despite suspicion that he was still drinking, and attempted to wrestle a twenty-minute match. Before the match, Double J’s music hit for his entrance but the wrestler didn’t come out. His opponent then got on the microphone and said Jeff was upstairs getting drunk.
Jeff finally hit the ring moments later and for about ten minutes the two wrestlers stalled for time.
After the event was over, the promoter says he paid the 50-year-old Jarrett and expressed his unhappiness over the situation. Jarrett said he’d update them on the border situation, but never did. Instead, they found out the following day when Jarrett never arrived in Edmonton for his next booking with them.
