Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett is the kind of guy who you kinda "stumble upon" on tv. Meaning, you don't tune in to watch him, but when he comes on, he can have a good match.

In the 90's, for some time, Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) was the guy WWF used to kinda "gauge" if a guy had what it took to go up to the main event scene, where guys like Bret Hart and Diesel (Kevin Nash) resided.

When it came Jeff Jarrett's turn to see what he had, he had a good feud with Razor, even became Intercontinental Champion, but never made it to the top, to the main event scene.

But he got his chance in 1995. Back then (and for a couple more years after), the guy who became Intercontinental Champion more often than not was able to then go up and wrestler for the WWF Title, and guys who were former IC Champions, like Bret Hart, Diesel, HBK, Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H (just to name a few) eventually won the big one.

But Jarrett never did.
