In somewhat of an unsurprising move, Impact Wrestling just took to Twitter to announce that they have terminated their business relationship with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling.
Impact Wrestling announced today that it has terminated its business relationship with Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Entertainment Inc., effective immediately.

Jarrett returned to the promotion earlier this year, serving as Creative Director when Anthem acquired Impact Wrestling from Dixie Carter. He brought back several associates from the TNA days and was working on merging his Global Force Wrestling promotion with Impact Wrestling. Unfortunately, that did not go well.
Due to numerous problems, including Alberto El Patron’s issues with a domestic violence incident over the summer and Jarrett’s on personal issues, things began to fall apart between the two parties. Jarrett was removed from his position, and it was announced that he was taking an indefinite leave of absence from the company. Then, this weekend, Jarrett no-showed an independent booking date, with the rumor being that he was in no condition to be around people at all.
Jarrett’s substance abuse issues are one of wrestling’s worst kept secrets, so this move from Anthem and Impact Wrestling was just a matter of if, not when. They are trying to rebrand and relaunch, and with Jarrett drawing extremely negative attention, it’s only surprising that it took them this long to sever their ties with him. Hopefully, Jarrett can get the help he needs and move forward with his life.
