It is no secret that Jeff Jarrett is married to Karen Jarrett, who was once Karen Angle. The two became romantically linked when Kurt and Karen were separated. Dixie Carter became so enraged when she heard the news, she put Jarrett on a leave of absence. Jarrett would return to TNA and use the real-life storyline, to create a compelling feud.
Jarrett has nothing but praise for Angle, even after all that happened. In the video linked above, he talks about how Angle was one of the few amateur wrestlers who transitioned perfectly into professional wrestling as well. He said this to us, during an interview about his favourite match from his career:
If I have to say one match, it’s probably in Cincinnati. The 2/3 falls cage match with Kurt Angle. At that stage of my career, I was training like crazy and really wanted to dive in and have the best possible match. I felt it, not for days but weeks. Yes, Lockdown in Cincinnati against Kurt Angle.
