WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett has made his first public comments since his father, legendary wrestling promoter Jerry Jarrett, died on Tuesday at the age of 80 from esophageal cancer.
Jarrett frequently cites scripture and poetry. Today, he shared the poem “Don’t Quit” by British-born American poet Edgar Albert Guest, written in early 1921. The full poem is available below.
Jarrett included the hashtag “#Dad” at the end of the poem.
Jarrett also posted a treadmill clip from the gym in Hendersonville, Tennessee, to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday. He used the hashtag “#DAD” as the caption for that post. Jarrett then posted another Instagram Stories post this afternoon, this time from a gym in San Antonio, TX, with the hashtag “#DAD” as the caption.
As PWMania.com previously reported, Jarrett will still compete in tonight’s AEW Dynamite in Laredo, TX, alongside Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh against The Acclaimed, Billy Gunn, and AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,⁰As everyone of us sometimes learns,⁰And many a failure turns about,⁰When he might have won if he'd stuck it out,⁰Don't give up though the pace seems slow,⁰You might succeed with another blow.(2/3)⁰

Success is failure turned inside out,⁰The silver tint of clouds of doubt,⁰And you never can tell how close you are,⁰It may be near when it seems afar,⁰So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,⁰It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit! (4/4) ~ #Dad
