I agree with you assessment of JArrett making it look small time, but is he not an owner?

The Jarretts (father Jerry and son Jeff) originally financed the promotion but had to be bailed out by a group called Panda Entertainment, and its now the baby of a suit named Dixie Carter. They own controlling interest and worked hard to get TNA on Spike, cut a videogame deal, etc.

Jerry is basically on the outs with the promotion, I think. I admit I don't follow the behind the scenes TNA stuff closely, so I'm not 100% sure of any of this, but I think the consensus is that Jerry has no stroke left with the company and since Jeff is the biggest name they have, he is champ until they either develop or get a big name to carry the company.

WWE's Christian debuted tonight at the TNA PPV under his old ring name, Christian Cage. He isn't a big enough star, though, for the role.
