Why Jeff Jarrett Was One of the Most Hated Men in Wrestling

[@StunnedByWrestling]

Thoughts on Double J? I keep saying he was never over with the fans, but maybe he was in your house. Maybe you live in Memphis. Let me know. If you enjoyed the video, your THUMBS UP are always appreciated. 🙏

[@KadeemG61]

What did you think of the “Slapnuts” moniker?

[@steved8878]

He really wasn’t that beloved in the Memphis territory. I mean, we TRIED to like him. We wanted it to work. But he just wasn’t the next big thing. He was pushed way too early and outside of a few teenaged girls the fans just couldn’t buy in. In all fairness there was no saving the territory by the 90s. Nobody would have made enough of a difference. But Jeff was never the reason anyone watched the WWF either. He was a competent wrestler once he had a few years of experience. He was fine in the ring. He just never hit that next level and he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

[@parkinsaw]

Let's see, too me he was an amalgamation of HHH/X-Pac. Not looks wise but by push wise, let me explain. Even when both overstayed their welcome they were still put on screen and pushed to the moon. To them the boos were signs that they were the "top" heels night in and night out, when in fact it was the audience trying to tell em and the company that they are starting to affect the product and should leave for a little while. Jeff was pushed late in WCW than again in TNA (reason for TNA was obvious and the fans knew it) WCW, well.....damage was done to the product and they needed to try and somewhat salvage it but by than it was too late. (The sudden amount of title wins went to his head and he brought that mindset over to TNA thinking he was just that good to carry a federation) He basically has way to many titles for how much of a mid level performer he was. (Did he improve during his career, well sure but he definitely wasn't a 10+ world title calibre wrestler) *With HHH's reign of terror it was more so starting every bloody show with his 10 minute long promo "I AM THE GAMEEEE-A blah blah blah)* *Now with Jeff, oh boy. It wasn't just him on the mic but every bloody match (whelp here comes the interference oh what a surprise he retains the belt once again)* TNA was real lucky they had the women's Knockouts when they did lol.

[@EyeOfTheWatcher]

He could work in main event matches, but he was never going to be a main event wrestler himself. I think he wanted to be what Jerry Lawler was to Memphis everywhere he went, but you got to hand it to him that he keeps finding a job in the wrestling business and you can never count him out.

[@parkinsaw]

@@EyeOfTheWatcher ...Well yeah because the man had connections lol. Not giving him too much credit, would be like me saying "have to hand it to Orton" for staying employed for as long as he has doing the stuff he did. Doesn't matter what job it is really if your a "generational" employee would take quite a lot for all your connections to simply dry up. (Especially when you are a third generation individual) at that point you are pretty much royalty in the wrestling business, well at that time anyways.

How much did Jarret pay you to shill him?

[@DeathMetalDerf]

He wanted something from you, and he's not an idiot. A friend of mine was a server at a rather fancy restaurant back in the late 1990s, and she served a party of people he was with. According to her recounting of the interaction, he and the other people he was with were all very polite, weren't any kind of bother at all, and tipped her and the rest of the kitchen staff quite well indeed. I'm going to assume he's not a fool, and understands that it's probably not the best idea to mess with the people who are doing some kind of service for you unless they royally screw up the job. It's smart when you think about it. Don't mess with the people who are making and serving your food, don't get nasty with people who are making or doing something for you.

[@KruglugBadax]

I mean there is a thing called 'matured'. Jeff was young and like most young people, live life like a ferrari. The guy is now in his 50s. He has a family. He is a business man. He most likely regrets the things he did in the past and can understand the reaction that was given to him. All these people saying he is an asshole are ridiculous. The industry is/was competitive and so, ofcourse its going bring the venom out in people.

[@mycahjofficial]

*It kills me to say this but Jeff Jarrett’s reign of terror was way worse Triple H’s reign of terror. While Triple H’s run with the world title from 2002-05 was undeniably frustrating as a marked such a dark period for RAW at least he was incredible main eventer unlike Jarrett who literally built a company to make himself champion for like four pissing years.*

As talented and reliable as Jeff Jarett was especially as a solid midcard heel act he just wasnt believable as a main eventer and his consistent presence in the TNA title scene kind of stalled the companies momentum in the early years of course other reasons were involved too

[@Filmation77]

A couple of things: 1. Jarrett and Austin buried the hatchet on Stone Colds WWE podcast,with him essentially apologizing by saying that he didnt remember saying that to Austin 2. The Vince payout only happened cause Vince Owed him Money and he just said "You want THIS? Then i just want what i'm owed " 3. The whole Misogynist angle was the only time he was ever OVER in WWE and as Chyna said in her book "NOTHING was working with him" 4. The Whole TNA reign of terror came to be because, he was only talent that wasnt going to leave HIS company, everyone else could leave at the Drop of a Hat. Its old school Territory thinking ,from Dusty Rhodes to Ole Anderson 5. Everything else....Correct

[@RetroProg]

Well said. Also, he's very much Over in the UK as, for everything he did wrong, he still produced a product that offered a difference to WWE with TNA (which was on free TV in the UK whilst WWE was on Sky paid tv).

Lawler trained lots of people, Undertaker, Rock, Austin, Bam Bam, Cornette, Jimmy Hart, Mick Foley, Kane, Kamala, and let’s not forget Macho Man had some incredible performances while in Memphis.

Ya know, I don't really have wrestling fan friends or ever join any fandoms, but growing up with Jeff ruling WCW towards the end and then TNA, I just always assumed everyone cared about him, but I couldn't put my finger on why he rubbed me the wrong way. Glad to know I was right

[@Mickey-v7p]

That is why we call Jeff Jarrett “Triple J”, he’s a guy who had an ironclad grip on the NWA World title for way too long.

[@megamike15]

theres hulk hogan creative control and then theres jeff " daddy let me do whatever i wanted so you will to." control.

[@petersonofleo11]

At least Hogan can claim that he is maybe the biggest draw of all time while Jarret could not sell water on the desert.

[@knowur10sand18s]

Calling Jeff Jarrett a mid card is an insult to mid card guys who could actually draw. The fact that the guy is in the WWE HoF while way more deserving people like Sid died trying to get in is an absolute travesty.

[@DanielJordanOfficial]

Don’t care who disagrees with me, I always liked Jeff Jarrett

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

I think the "hate" is curdled annoyance that he was always in the main event scene in late-stage WCW and TNA despite not being "that guy". If he'd stuck around the mid-card I don't think there'd be much negative sentiment directed at him. He's solid in the role as a mid-card heel and he's a good worker who could have helped put guys over as they moved up the card. There's no shame in being in the mid-card. They may not be the guys fans tune in (or buy tickets) to see but they're an absolute crucial part of any show.

[@DanielJordanOfficial]

@@BiggieTrismegistus I understand that. I remember watching at the time and didn’t feel like he deserved that top spot however he’s always entertained me, ever since the early 90s. His heel character was hilarious to me.

[@jimbo_1312]

Was a massive JJ fan during his initial WWE run and have been a massive fan since his joined AEW. It's just the 25 years in between that I couldn't stand the guy.

He has been active in the wrestling business longer then i have been alive and i soon turn 35, which is astounding. So, i respect him atleast for having this kind of longevity. Otherwise, screw him and his booking. Broke 6000 Guitars and never drew a dime.

[@rswpt]

Jarret was, hands down one of the good wrestlers, love his JJ persona, hje remind me of some kind of Flair, but better

[@owenpeterson]

Isn't it ironic that Jeff Jarrett, who's considered, as the title says, one of the most hated men in wrestling, was very close with Owen Hart, who by contrast was considered one of the most beloved in wrestling. If you ask me Owen's legacy is already secure with Bret and the rest of the Hart family. Plus the British Bulldog was Owen's best tag team champion partner. I even liked Owen and Yokozuna. Hell I've even fantasized a tag team between Owen Hart and Mr. Perfect. I don't understand why Owen was so close with Jeff apart from being tag team partners.

[@ChristopherJohn4389]

Jeff Jarrett is the greatest pro wrestler of all time. Imo

[@Justanotherjobber]

This guy ruined WCW and TNA for me. I liked him as a mid card guy, but thats all he was. His TNA stuff was some of the most unbelievable crap i have ever seen, it put super Cena to shame.

[@str.77]

That's quite a contradiction. Complaining that Jarrett did not immediately start with a title feud in the WWF but also that Jarrett wanted to be higher than he was.

[@stephenphillips6245]

Vince owed him over 100k at least in deferred contract money....bias is real w this video

[@jacobfloyd8782]

I don’t like the term “never drew a dime.” It’s outdated. The truth is, since the death of the territories, most wrestlers, on an individual level, don’t really draw - it’s the company that does. There have obviously been a few exceptions, like Hogan, Austin, Sting, and Lesnar, but for the most part, people go because there’s a wrestling show in town. I mean, who were people going to see when TNA started? It’s just more wrestling jargon fans use to sound smart.

[@troy8613]

Can you do a most hated on John Laurinaitis? He comes off as a sleezball and I’ve always heard negative shite about him.

[@j.rivera6402]

110%…..Jeff’s ring-gear made him look like a complete tool-bag. Good worker…but when he was booking himself as the TNA champ, no one could take it seriously.

[@stevencisneros9306]

I would’ve thought you would’ve mentioned his time in Mexico, where he’d be one of AAA’s biggest heels ever!!!

[@AaronsAvenger]

Vince Russo thought this guy was gonna WCW to new heights.

[@liamdoyle8680]

Yeah I remember we had just started getting TNA ppvs here in Ireland and I was really excited to watch a show that was devoid of the Triple H reign of terror. Unfortunately, and very quickly, it became evident that there was a different kind of reign of terror happening at the same time in TNA.

[@YoitsmeitsmeitsCairoLeeAGAIN]

I think with his power waned, His spot given to him and his legacy cemented all in all compared to other bookers sons, Jeff has really proved his staying power for better or worse.

[@StarCadet]

Watchin Jarrett on Memphis TV, his hair made him stand out. He had a nice physique and looked like a wrestler. He was not a great talker. He could talk, but I never got the sense that he was truly angry or dangerous. He was a mid-carder pushed to the main event status because of his last name.

[@greenmanjph]

Jeff Jarrett always had delusions of grandeur. I never thought of him being a main eventer, just mid card at best, but his dad and Russo built up his ego so much that he just couldn't understand why the fans weren't behind him.
