TMZ spoke with 2018 WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett following this past weekend’s ceremony, and during the brief interview Jarrett recalls his emotional encounter with Vince McMahon at the ceremony.
“They called me back later in the day and said ‘hey, we want to go through just the top of your speech, and that’s where I had the idea where I came out spelling my name”, revealed Jarrett. “And I came out of the curtain to walk through, and I laid it all out there, and it’s ‘ok you can cut that’, and I turn around and Vince [McMahon] is two feet in front of my face.

“And I’ll never forget that, ever”, Jarrett continued. “Because it was so out of left field, so spontaneous. WrestleMania is his baby, and this is number 34, so down to the “T” on everything is thought through…So for me to connect with him on the stage where I got to do the speech, it was surreal. And it was quick, but a real special conversation. A real personal conversation.”
