STOP DOING HEROIN
Jeff Jarrett drinking himself out of the promotion might've been the most predictable outcome of all

So what happens to the AAA/NOAH/Crash partnerships? Wasn't that all Jarrett's doing?

For some reason GFW's team was Jarrett, Lashley and Moose

Lashley and Moose are currently feuding/feuded throughout the most recent tapings
Jarrett's on neither's side, hasn't been an active wrestler in the company in years, and apparently wasn't sober

Anthem bought Impact Wrestling and merged it with Jarrett's dead promotion Global Force Wrestling but never bought the trademarks, which means Jarrett still owns them
Anthem made new belts promoting GFW with the logos included and rebranded all of Impact Wrestling to be GFW, still never owning the trademarks
Anthem plugged Jarrett's dead promotion, which they didn't own the trademarks of, by having their own talent go with Jarrett to Triplemania, where Jarrett made an rear end of himself
Anthem fired Jarrett and are now at least considering being done with the whole company entirely because there's just too many headaches

Wait so Jarrett got fired for flinging tacos into the crowd? Isn't that pretty standard heel behaviour a la Roddy Piper playing La Cucaracha on the bagpipes after he got a crowd of Mexicans to stand for the national anthem?

that's the story being told to Dave.

The real story is he's a loving drunk. He's volatile to work with because he's either really emotional or straight up lying. He's made a bunch of promises new revenue streams and live event opportunities(remember India?) and they haven't panned out. The live gates on the house shows that have happened were abysmal. The only merch moving is the Broken Hardy stuff, which is why Nordholm's desperate to hold onto that.
