Jeff Jarrett recently appeared on the “My World” podcast, where he discussed how TNA was formed, who came up with the TNA name, and more.
Below are the highlights:
On how TNA was formed:
“We agreed really early, day one, that it (percentage of the business owned) would be 65/35 (Jeff 65, Jerry 35), but it was going to be diluted with investors as time went on, knowing the business strategy of outsourcing where we didn’t have overhead, as little overhead as possible…If I don’t believe in it, why should anybody else believe in it. I’m putting my money up and had no problem doing it…I put up roughly $600,000 and change and he put up $300,00 and change. We got close to the million mark.”

Gossage made the announcement via a release from Texas Motor Speedway.
Gossage has worked at Speedway Motorsports for nearly three decades with much of that time spent at Texas Motor Speedway. The All-Star race will be at Texas for the first time in its history on June 13.
“The timing just feels right after 32 years with the company,” Gossage said in a statement. “The Smith family and Speedway Motorsports changed my life and I will forever be appreciative and grateful. Before my wife Melinda and I chart our next adventure, I’m thankful that I get to come full circle as a promoter with the NASCAR All-Star Race.”

The latest step towards a potential NASCAR return to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway played out through dramatic political theater during a Fair Board of Commissioners meeting at the Karl Dean Ballroom in Downtown Music City on Tuesday night.
Speedway Motorsports Inc., which also operates nearby Bristol Motor Speedway, is seeking to obtain the lease to the facility owned by the City of Nashville and Davidson County.
Such an agreement would see Bristol Motor Speedway become the de facto promoters of the historic short track, and pending an eventual renovation project, clear a pathway for all three NASCAR national touring divisions to return.
