Jeff Jarrett has told his Twitter followers that the next anouncement regarding Global Force Wrestling had been pushed back. And we maybe know the reason already.
The Jarretts were reportedly involved in altercation which involved Jarrett striking a minor.
The Jarretts had been booked for an IWA Mid-South event last week. For unknown reason, promoter Ian Rotten failed to get their first payment sorted out in time. His son, Jon Calvin, paid the Jarretts half of their fees at the event. He promised that they would get the rest "within the next 2 or 3 days". Jeff then started berating the 17-year-old, and eventually slapping him. He allegedly stole the young man's glasses and then broke them. During the incident, Karen was egging Jeff on. Karen also threatened to interupt a live in-ring promo to shoot on Rotten.
Rotten has since apologised for messing up their payment. However, he claims that he intends to press charges against Jeff for assaulting a minor. He also claims that multiple witnesses can attest that both Jeff and Karen were drunk at the time.
Rotten released this statement through his Facebook page:

So, I will address the 500 lb elephant in the room in full.
Jeff Jarrett was paid half of his money tonight and was told he would get the rest of it in 2 or 3 days as through one way or another, or just plain stupidity, we forgot to get the advance money out of PayPal. I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but it occurred. Am I embarrassed about it? Yes, but a very intoxicated Jeff Jarretts actions to follow would be absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. INCLUDING knocking the glasses off of John Calvins face, taking said glasses, and for a time period threatening to not give them back and break them. Screaming at numerous people in the dressing room that it was their fault, they were behind it like some paranoid coked out raging idiot. Not saying he WAS coked out, but I will say he was drunk, him and Karen both and I have a locker room full of people that will back me up on it.
Jeff Jarrett will get his money in a couple days as promised, then he can spend it on a defense attorney as I will be going to the sheriffs department to swear a warrant out on him tomorrow for assault on a minor. This was not some wrestling angle or anything of that nature, and he had no right to take it out on anyone else but me. Don't get me wrong, I was wrong. We should have had that taken care of, but Jeffs actions after that along with Karen insisting on going out to the ring to interrupt Drakes speech was absolutely despicable. That is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
