My iMPACT (4/30) Notebook
The Kingfish Arnie Katz highlights the major developments and discusses what they mean.
A Note from the Kingfish
Trying new things is part of the fun of doing a column like that. As an experiment, I am overhauling the format of the Notebooks to highlight the key points instead of embedding them in a recap.
There are lots of recaps, so no one who wants one will go without,. On the other hand, there’s very little intelligent analysis; that’s the aspect I’ll stress in the Notebook series.
Mick Foley Gets It from All Directions
The short scene in which first Jeff Jarrett and then Mick Foley exited a board meeting very effectively portrayed the difference between Foley and one of his two looming adversaries, Jeff Jarrett,
Fans saw a tight-lipped Jarrett and a relaxed and affable Foley. The implication was clear; the Board of Directors wouldn’t fire Mick or aggressively back Double J.
While fighting the Tweenish Foley, Jarrett is also battling the thoroughly heelish Kurt Angle. This restores Jarrett to the position that makes him most comfortable, a Tweener. It gets a little confusing for the fans, who keep wondering whether Jarrett is a good guy or a villain, but it gives him the basis for working two programs like this at the same time.
