Apparently Jerry Jarrett doesn't have a lot of stroke in TNA anymore, it's probably more to do with old Memphis tape libraries....

I agree I'm saying it's nothing that will affect the fans!

It's all about Jerry seemingly jumping ship from TNA to WWE:

Jarrett brings mountain of a man to WWE
Oct. 28, 2005
Longtime wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett met with WWE officials this morning in Stamford, Conn., and he was not alone.
By Jarrett's side throughout his meetings with Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis (Vice President of Talent Relations for WWE) was a 6-foot-6, 310 pound monster of a man called Oleg Prudius.
"I know they were both impressed with Oleg, as is anyone that meets him," said Jarrett as he left WWE Headquarters Friday afternoon. "He's an exceptional person and a special athlete."
So with Jarrett's backing, is Prudius on his way to WWE Superstardom?
"He's a future prospect who is very interested in WWE," said Laurinaitis after meeting with Jarrett and Prudius. "He comes from a very highly-regarded amateur background. And hopefully, if things work out on both sides, we can maybe do business together."
If things do work out and Prudius does find his way into a WWE ring, he will be bringing an extensive resume with him. In addition to being a world champion sambo wrestler, Prudius has played professional football in Germany and is skilled in Judo. He has also made several movies in both Russia and the United States.
This was a brilliant upstaging of TNA by WWE and Vince. It will be interesting to see where the leads.
