Well, people stopped being sick of Triple H when he started doing things that Jarrett Can't. Proving his worth as a main eventer.
It's like Val Venis. I like Val, I think he should be further up the card than he is, but I'd be tossing shit in the ring if he was on top of the company for as little as 2 months. And no, it's not a shot at Alienoid or anything. If I wanted to do that, I'd take a direct shot. ![]() |

I was never a huge fan of Jarrett's until he cut his hair and started with the whole "Don't Piss Me Off" thing. After than, he kind of floundered a bit, but then as he was leaving WWE I really began to get behind him. I LOVED his run in WCW. Russo jerking off over him or not, he did a good job. And before anyone gets too "He jobbed to Chyna! He can't be credible!" remember that Jericho jobbed to her as well. She was actually quite heavily pushed around that time. His work in TNA has been a mixed bag. When he wants to put on a show, he can. When he phones it in, it's obvious. Jarrett is not what I would consider a naturally gifted wrestler. If he isn't working his ass off, he's terrible. For the last year or two before he took his vacation, at least in terms of in ring work, Jarrett has been lazy, and it's shown. That being said, Jarrett hogged the main event light way too much. Nash, DDP, Styles, Raven, Rhino, and even Mont Brown were all over enough to be considered legit World Title holders. The fact that Jarrett reigned over all of them and beat every single one of them in title matches is kind of stupid. My biggest problem with Jarrett is not that he is so featured and promoted in TNA, it's how. His reigns go through month by month where he simply beats everyone. There are no longer term feuds. Never a time when there is something interesting. It's just a monthly feeding to the alter of Jarrett, and that's were mine and I'm sure a lot of people's problems come in.

He's still a poor man's Triple H. I really liked his run(s) in wCw. Him just laying there for hogan at the Bash in 2000 (worked shoot or not) was fucking awesome.

Listen here Slap Nutz, don't piss me off.
Jarret's alright. He's an okay entertainer and a great wrestler. Unfortunately I don't take him seriously as a main eventer. He was on top of WCW when it was a sinking ship, and in TNA he's in a small pond. I enjoy him somewhat but it's hard for me to take him seriously as a credible main eventer champion. I'll admit, though it's markish of me, it's probably because of who he was in WWE and in the years before heading back to WCW. I always thought he was midcard for life and then he was marching around with championships. |

The fact is, if his catchphrase for the longest time wasn't spelling out his name, I wouldn't even know HOW to spell Jarrett, let alone care about him. He's not a bad worker at all, in all honesty. But he isn't main event material. Hence the slogan "Any promotion built around Jeff Jarrett DESERVES to fail."
Before you ask what other person could carry the torch, I'll drop one name: Christopher Daniels. He was alot like Jeff Jarrett, just with a better gimmick and capable of heel heat not synonymous with "This is bullshit." In the end, It's not that I wouldn't watch a promotion that has Jarrett on the roster. I just don't want to see Jarrett in the main event. As much indifference I feel towards Hunter, and I feel it, I respect what he puts into his matches. |

I liked Jarrett when he was in the tag team with Owen Hart.
Aside from that, he hasn't interested me. |
