Jeff Jarrett
By Scott Keith on 16 October 2022
The email today about Jeff coming into AEW to book was timely for me. I’ve only watched the first episode of “Tales from
The Territories” and the biggest detractor in it was any time Jarrett spoke. So this email hit me with the reality that there has never been a single thing Jeff Jarrett has done in his career that moved the needle for me.
He’s been a part of the vast majority of my wrestling watching life, yet there is not a single time I can recall enjoying anything he’s done. As such, I’m pushing myself to think of another performer that I’ve never enjoyed at all, and I can’t think of anyone as underwhelming as Jarrett.
This being my personal opinion, who are some equivalents, excluding Dino Bravo?
Jarrett had a ***** match with Shawn Michaels and a pretty good run in Memphis for years, so I can't hate him THAT much. He's at least a good worker who can put together a competent match even when he's trying to sell gold as a side hustle.
For me, the far more baffling case is Ken Anderson, who took saying his own name and somehow rode it to a main event push in WWE and then milked it in multiple promotions for years afterwards as a top guy despite never drawing a dime or having a good match.
