What does that even mean anyway, necessary? Necessary for what? Pat Patterson and Gerry Brisco drew stupidly high ratings for a gimmick match so I find it hard to believe any individual was indispensable at that time. Austin was the only wrestler of the Attitude era that could have caused a huge ratings drop by leaving for WCW.
Jeff Jarrett was never necessary. I just liked his shtick and usually enjoyed his matches and I'm surprised I forgot that.
It's wrestling books that did it, they trash Jarrett and I'm sure Gary Hart called his dad a gay sex offender or something.

I just mean that when you say “Vince was probably gutted to see a guy with that heat go,” I think the answer is “Nah, they basically low-balled him out.” If Vince wanted to keep Jarrett, he wouldn’t have left for WCW at that point.
