I've been a fan of Jeff Jarrett, and I've been so since he used to tag up with Owen Hart, but really he was never a guy that should have been made champion, he is a lot like Owen Hart is in fact. Sure Owen Hart was a better ring worker, but Jarrett is much better on the stick. Owen would have looked the same way holding the world championship, just not legit. The only thing that makes Owen better then Jeff is Owen's last name is Hart, and Jeff's last name is Jarrett, they are practally equal... Once again that is because Owen is better in ring but Jarrett is better on the stick, so don't complain that said Owen and Jarrett are equal in the ring, I'm saying they're equal overall...

All this being said Jarrett's failures as a World Champion and drawing ability is due not to his lack of skill but to his bad timing of becoming World Champion. WCW was dying around him when he became World Champ and there wasn't anyone legi around to make him look good, and Hogan could have but didn' and made Jarrett look worse. Jarrett is also a victaim in TNA. In TNA their is only one wrestler that isn't washed up that is as well know as him in the minds of wrestling fans, and that's Raven, so Jarrett is always going to look like a second teir champ, because he has no one better then him to beat to look good, he's just beating people below him on the totum pole.

Though I like Jarrett, they way you make him look good again is having him beat Savage at the next TNA PPV (not because it'll make him look good, but you gotta get rid of Savage.) Then at the February PPV have Jarrett drop the title to a guy like Christopher Daniels. Then what you do is you have Daniels feud with Styles, Killings, Raven, and Monty Brown. Have them throw them the title around to each other for like six months, say have 3 champions in that time like have Daniels drop it to Styles, and then Styles drop it to Raven... Then after you have all these guys looking good, putting on 5 star matches, and Jarrett has like a 3 month feud with Raven with Jarrett going over as top face, making him look real legit and making the whole TNA roster looking good.
