Jeff Jarrett did not attend last night's Victory Road pay-per-view, nor will be attending this week's slate of television tapings. TNA front office employees were told during a company meeting late last week that he is taking some "personal time off."

Jarrett was previously scheduled to at least be involved in some pre-taped backstage segments at last night's show. He was also going to continue building a program with Eric Young at this week's Impact tapings.

As a result of his absence, the creative team and several producers ran things backstage last night at Victory Road.

It's interesting to note that Jarrett's sudden absence coincidentally occurs after an incident on Bubba the Love Sponge's radio show last week where an "anonymous TNA employee" had their voice distorted and claimed on-air that Jarrett was now involved in a relationship with the ex-wife of Kurt Angle, Karen. The person claimed the two were living together at Jarrett's residence.

A rumored relationship between Jarrett and Karen Angle has been bouncing around for several months, so the caller was simply repeating the oft-cited rumor. However, giving the timing of Jarrett deciding to take some personal time off, it does seem rather peculiar.

TNA's public relations official Steve Godfrey declined to comment on the situation this morning when contacted. He said he could not "comment on personnel issues at this time."

Jarrett's sudden absence was a large topic of discussion among wrestlers and employees at last night's pay-per-view. This may have been the first pay-per-view in the company's seven-year history which he was not running and/or backstage.

There is said to be no timetable on when he will return to his duties.

Someone who used to wrestle for TNA told me that Double J was plugging Karen at different angles back when Kurt mentioned something on Howard. So yep. It's true.

lol pwned. Double J has also been pulled off of TNA programming.

Indeed, I suppose TNA thinks if either Jarrett OR Angle needs to go, Jarrett's the more expendable of the two. Good choice.

Karen Angle is a bad lookin bitch...

Karen is the 2nd Hottest Knockout ever only 2nd to Gail Kim

... except for like, Angel Williams, Velvet Sky, Hemme, Jackie, Val, Traci Brooks...

And I thought I just read that Angle laid it down saying he wants the control of TNA that Jarrett has/had, or he's gone. Strong play.

Traci Brooks and a few other bitches on the TNA roster look horrible...

I dont think Kurt will get Jeff's spot. I think Jeff will be there until he is ready to walk away from the business for good. He's still part owner isn't he? I mean Dixie doesn't have 100% ownership now does she?

I guess you never did the Bentley Bounce

Hahahaha, the fuckin Bentley Bounce. Whatever happened to him?

I think Dixie has like 51% ownership and Jeff has only 49%. While that is not much of a difference it is a big enough difference to force Jarrett out of TNA or buy his ownership.

Ok...so first I hear rumors that Kurt Angle is stalking Rhaka Khan and now Jeff Jarrett is mackin Karen Angle? This is starting to look like Jerry Springer only if Jeff was on it he'd use his guitar and not a chair.

Lets play the "I heard" game, a friend of mine who has a meeting for a contract coming soon tells me Jeff isn't banging Karen(currently) & is being separated from TNA due to some legal issues that might not be going their way. Supposedly they are going to let Jeff take the heat & keep the company rolling under dixie & crew.

Of course this friend loves to gossip so who knows whats the exact truth
