Jarrett said they can end it right now or take it as far as they want to go. Young asked if he was supposed to say “I’m sorry?” Young wondered if Jarrett would give him some fatherly advice.

Young said Jarrett created TNA and gave “these maggots” (the fans) a better choice. Young said Jarrett was living the American Dream.

Young said he and Jarrett both promised themselves they would never grow up to be their dads. Young said Jarrett was becoming just like his father! Young said everything in TNA revolves around Jarrett – and everybody else comes second.

Foley said it looks like Jarrett has reached his breaking point and finally snapped. Foley said a few weeks ago he assured Earl Hebner he’d have a job for life in TNA, and now (thanks to Jeff Jarrett) he may never referee another match.
