WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett, who is also All Elite Wrestling’s Director of Business Development, took to an episode of his “My World with Jeff Jarrett” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including their attempt to sign fellow WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley to TNA back in 2004.
Jarrett said, “That was three or four years. It was such an early — 2004, look where we were. We were starting. We weren’t on Spike TV. So we didn’t, we just thought it was pretty simple. We didn’t have the budget for what Mr. Bloom was looking for. And I say, Mr. Bloom, Barry Bloom was Mick’s agent. You know, it just wasn’t in the cards. And until I did the research, I’d really almost forgotten that, that we’d even kind of had those talks. But I and Mick go back to the late 80s when he came down as Cactus Jack Manson and worked for us and they went out to Dallas. So. We had had a relationship, or he had had a relationship with me and my father for years. But, these were the serious talks and I was damn, damn glad to get him.”
