On the latest episode of My World With Jeff Jarrett, the WWE Hall of Famer talked about Eddie Gilbert, a memorable angle with Jerry Lawler, and more. You can check out some highlights below:

On Eddie Gilbert: “I know his contributions. I know how ahead of the curve he was, or how he looked at things differently. Kind of the innovations, the mindset. He comes from a wrestling family, all the stuff that him and my grandfather — just all of that. I was lucky enough… I know the real Eddie Gilbert.”

On the angle where Gilbert and his brother ran over Jerry Lawler with a car: “I mean, twisted. It is so — you don’t make logic out of an illogical business because of just that. So it’s like the television station — and in the wrestler mindset, we’re pissed off at them because they were so offended by attempted murder in their parking lot. Conrad, think about that. As a wrestling promotion, my father, Jerry Lawler, Eddie Marlin, Eddie Gilbert, Jeff Jarrett all this — we’re pissed off at Channel Five because a hit and run happened in their parking lot, and they’re mad. And we didn’t tell them this was going to happen. Think about that. That’s just insanity from us.”
