Jeffrey Leonard (Jeff) Jarrett (born April 14 1967, in Nashville, Tennessee [1]), is an American professional wrestler. He is currently a part-owner and vice president of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He is currently the NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
Career
Jeff Jarrett has wrestled for various organizations including the WWF (he is a former six-time Intercontinental Champion, one-time European Champion, and one-time Tag Team Champion) and, while it existed, WCW (he is a four-time WCW World Champion and two-time U.S. Champion). He currently wrestles for the company he founded with his father, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and is a six-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He made his wrestling debut as a referee working for his father in the now-defunct CWA. It wasn't long, however, before he was making his own in-ring debut. Jeff's feud with Jerry "The King" Lawler got him noticed by Vince McMahon and he was signed by the WWF to a contract in 1993.
World Wrestling Federation (1993-1996)
When he made his debut in the World Wrestling Federation, he was portrayed as a country singer wanna-be, later allying himself with Brian Armstrong (best known as D-Generation X member "Road Dogg Jesse James"), then simply known as Jarrett's roadie. He would strut to the ring with flashing "Double J" hats and attire and use the phrase "Ain't I great?" As a finisher, he used a figure-four leglock. He managed to win the WWF Intercontinental Title on three separate occasions. These reigns were traded back and forth with Razor Ramon and once with Bob Holly. At WrestleMania XI, Ramon defeated Jarrett in a match for the Intercontinental championship by disqualification. Later on Razor, would pin him to regain the belt. Jarrett sang "With My Baby Tonight" live at In Your House II, however this led to controversy between the WWF and Jarrett as the planned plot was Jarrett was just lip syncing for the Roadie. This was one of the reasons for Jarrett leaving the WWF as he believed it would make him lose his heat. He also lost the Intercontinental Title to Shawn Michaels in a classic bout in the same night. After a several month absence, he returned briefly to feud with Ahmed Johnson which culminated in a match at the 1996 Royal Rumble, which Johnson won by disqualification. He then disappeared from WWF television and jumped ship to work for Eric Bischoff at WCW, Vince's closest competition.
World Championship Wrestling (1996-1997)
After his arrival in World Championship Wrestling, Jarrett quickly aligned himself with the Four Horsemen to fight the nWo faction. During this tenure in WCW, Jarrett held the United States title twice, before returning to the WWF in 1997.
World Wrestling Federation (1997-1999)
He returned to the WWF, eventually reprising his old country music star gimmick and being managed by Tennessee Lee. Still not receiving fan reaction, he cast off the country music gimmick and his manager. During the 1998 Summerslam, Jeff Jarrett lost to X-Pac in a "cut your hair match." After having his head shaved, his gimmick was then repackaged. He aligned himself with the tag team Mark Canterbury and Dennis Knight - dubbed "Southern Justice" (formerly known as The Godwinns).
He was portrayed as somewhat of a misogynist with the catch-phrase "Don't piss me off!", and hired Debra as his manager. He would also align himself with his friend, Owen Hart, with whom he won the Tag Team Championship. Though his gimmick had changed, Jarrett kept his trademark of smashing an opponent's head in with an acoustic guitar. When Owen Hart died, he won a match with the Sharpshooter, Owen's finisher, at the RAW is Owen tribute show. Owen was originally supposed to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship at WWF Over the Edge the night he died, and WWE booked Jarrett to win it instead a week later on RAW.
Later on, Jarrett feuded with Chyna before going back to WCW. He apparently quit after then-champion Stone Cold Steve Austin allegedly vetoed the proposed plan to bring Jarrett to the main event. Apparently, when Jarrett first returned to the WWF, he made a shoot comment on RAW which he stated that Austin's "Austin 3:16..." catchphrase was blasphemous. This did not sit well with Austin and he was said to refuse to work with Jarrett henceforth. There is also an incident between the two going back to Austin's early days which may have helped start the tension. According to industry insiders, Austin never forgot an incident that happened when he broke into the business and worked shows for Jeff's father, Jerry Jarrett. The story goes that Austin was sitting in the locker room after a show looking at his paycheck, which he felt was very small, and Jeff made a sarcastic comment along the lines of "it's not going to get any bigger by staring at it".
According to Joanie Laurer, Vince McMahon forgot that Jarrett's contract expired on October 16th, 1999, and Jarrett was still Intercontinental Champion (his sixth reign as such) when it expired. Jarrett intended to jump back to WCW, but McMahon wanted him to drop the title. Jarrett requested McMahon pay him for the night and also give him all money owed to him in one lump sum to make a clean break (workers usually wait months for PPV and house show bonuses). In exchange, he jobbed to Chyna at No Mercy 1999 on October 17, making her the first (and only) female Intercontinental Champion. It is said that McMahon resents his gaffe with Jarrett's contract to this very day as it cost him in the ball park of $250,000. It was either pay Jarrett or risk him showing up on WCW with a WWF title belt around his waist. It's believed that because of this incident, Jeff Jarrett was "blackballed" by the WWF and was not able to return when WCW merged with the WWF in 2001.
World Championship Wrestling (1999-2001)
Back in WCW, he reformed the nWo (this time called nWo 2000) with Bret Hart, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, The Harris Brothers, and Scott Steiner and eventually won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship several times. In a bout scheduled by then Lead Booker Vince Russo at the 2000 Bash at the Beach pay per view he was ordered to lay down so Hogan could win the title, on a live mic Hogan stated to Russo "That's why this company is in the damn shape it's in, because of bullshit like this." In the chaos of WCW's final year, Jarrett would find himself on both sides of alliances with both Kevin Nash and Ric Flair. He was part of Ric Flair's Magnificent Seven heel group when WCW was finally purchased by Vince McMahon. He had been feuding with Dusty & Dustin Rhodes (this feud was ended on Nitro when Dusty and Dustin forced Flair and Jarrett to kiss "Dusty's Big White Ass", which turned out to be an albino donkey wearing a "DUSTY'S ASS" sign). WCW's acquisition by the WWF meant that Jarrett was once again out of a job.
World Wrestling All-Stars (2001-2003)
In late-2001, Jarrett wrestled in World Wrestling All-Stars in Australia and Europe. Jarrett would win the first WWA World Heavyweight Championship. He was later stripped of the title. Jarrett would return to the WWA, during his first NWA World Heavyweight Championship reign. He defeated Sting for the WWA World Heavyweight Championship at the final WWA event on May 25, 2003, unifying the two titles.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (2002-Present)
Jarrett is now a minority owner of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and a former six-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion. He has feuded with a wide variety of opponents in TNA, including Brian Lawler, Scott Hall, Raven, Monty Brown, Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, Jeff Hardy and A.J. Styles. He also had a brief run as The Kings of Wrestling with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall.
In early-2005, Jarrett formed a dominant stable known as Planet Jarrett with Monty Brown, The Outlaw and, later, Rhino. Jarrett also uses the phrase "Planet Jarrett" to refer to TNA as a whole, reflecting his real-life stake in the company and his prominent role within the promotion.
At Unbreakable on September 11, 2005, Jarrett guaranteed that he would get the title back by the time iMPACT! came to Spike TV on October 1. Jarrett made good on his promise quickly on September 15 when America's Most Wanted turned heel and helped him win the title against Raven at a Border City Wrestling event in Windsor, Ontario. The title change was then declared official by TNA Director of Authority Larry Zbyszko. He lost the title to Rhino at Bound For Glory on October 23, but regained it on November 3, 2005 on a special Thursday night episode of iMPACT!.
At Genesis on November 13, he tried to get Scott D'Amore to lure the premiering Christian Cage to his stable. Cage appeared to accept the offer at the end of the show, but an Unprettier to D'Amore and a 3D from Team 3D to Jarrett through a table showed he would not be a lackey to Team Canada or Planet Jarrett. On November 26, during his match with Kip James, the debuting Jackie Gayda appeared. Jarrett seemed frightened by her appearance and ordered her backstage. He pushed her, so she retaliated by slapping him. He was heard saying to her, "It's not what you think," which only led to her catfighting with his valet Gail Kim.
At Turning Point 2005 on December 11, Jarrett successfully defended the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a rematch with Rhino. After the match, the lights went off, and scorpion images appeared on the screens. When the lights came back on, a chair was in the ring with a black trench coat and a baseball bat. Sting was coming.
On February 12 at TNA Against All Odds 2006, he lost the NWA World Heavyweight Championship to Christian Cage.
From March to the current day, he has been involved in a feud with Sting. The feud focuses around the fact that Sting left TNA, and has now returned to gain vengeance on Planet Jarrett for filming his family and personal life. In April of 2006, Team Jarrett lost a Lethal Lockdown match at Lockdown against Sting's hand-picked team. More recently, Jarrett has aligned himself with old WCW ally Scott Steiner. At the Sacrifice PPV in May 2006 Jarrett and Steiner lost a tag-team match against Sting and his chosen partner Samoa Joe after Joe hit a Muscle-Buster on Jarrett.
On the June 1 edition of iMPACT!, Jarrett defeated Raven to qualify for the 3rd King of the Mountain match at TNA Slammiversary 2006 on June 18. Jarrett won the match, assisted by referee Earl Hebner's interference, but new Director of Authority Jim Cornette took the title from Jarrett as the pay-per-view went off the air. On the June 22 episode of iMPACT!, Cornette declared the NWA World Title vacant because of the controversy at Slammiversary. On the June 30 episode, he fired Hebner but awarded the title to Jarrett.
On August 13, at the Hard Justice Pay-Per-View, Jarrett will defend the NWA World Championship against Sting. On the July 20th edition of iMPACT! Jay Lethal challenged Jeff Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship instead of the X-Division Championship, Jeff Jarrett retained the title after "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner hit Lethal with a steel pipe, causing Jarrett to make the Stroke from the second rope, after the victory both of them attacked Lethal until Sting made the save, on the end of the show, Christian Cage was shown in front of Jim Cornette's office, Jeremy Borash asked him what is he doing, Christian Cage responds by saying that he's gonna even the match, he will ask Cornette if he could be in Sting's corner, while Steiner is in Jarrett's. Cornette agreed to this, and as a result, Sting w/Christian Cage will face Jeff Jarrett w/Scott Steiner for the NWA Heavyweight Championship.
Independents
At NWA Cyberspace, Jarrett won the Cyberspace Heavyweight Championship on April 30, 2005, and was billed as the Undisputed NWA Heavyweight Champion in that federation when he held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.
On November 19 at the Above The Law event, Jarrett had to defend his Cyberspace title against "Wildcat" Chris Harris in a match made before Harris's heel turn and affiliation with Planet Jarrett (the World title was not on the line). Jarrett let Harris beat him with a Fingerpoke of Doom-style match, but NWA CS Commissioner Jasmin St. Claire immediately booked them for a three-way dance immediately with fellow Cyberspace wrestler "The Monster" Abyss. Abyss beat both and won the Cyberspace Heavyweight Championship. On November 30, Jarrett was "indefinitely suspended" from NWA Cyberspace for the incident. [1] Jarrett also joined the International Assault tour of Australia, winning the World Series Wrestling heavyweight title while in the country.
Criticism
Fans have frequently accused Jarrett of using his political leverage within TNA to secure a position at the top of the card and lengthy NWA World Heavyweight Championship title reigns. His familial connections - and resultant claims of nepotism - have led to comparisons with World Wrestling Entertainment employee Triple H, who is also believed to possess a great deal of power due to his connections with the McMahon family (namely being married to Stephanie McMahon). As a result, Jarrett's critics sometimes dub him "Triple J" (a pun on his former gimmick "Double J").
The criticism of Jarrett peaked in February 2005, when members of the TNA iMPACT! audience began chanting "Boring!", "Drop the title!", "Fire Jarrett", and "Please Retire" during Jarrett's interviews. It is disputed whether this was genuine heel heat or "X-Pac heat" (wherein the audience possesses legitimate antipathy towards the wrestler at whom the chants are directed). Jarrett's return to prominence within the promotion in October 2005, coupled with the fact that his match with Rhino (who only held the NWA World Title for a week before Jarrett won it back) on the first ever prime time episode of TNA iMPACT! scored the lowest rating of the entire two hour show, led to renewed criticism.
Supporters of Jarrett point to the growth of TNA throughout the time period in which he has headed the promotion, Jarrett's past successes in World Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation, and his financial interest in the promotion, which would appear to lessen the likelihood of Jarrett deliberately sabotaging TNA to satisfy his ego.
A lesser-known incident is that, when TNA Wrestling created their first Jeff Jarrett T-shirt, it had a logo in the front with a silhouette of Jarrett with his guitar, and on the back it had the slogan "Major League Stroke" (a reference to his finisher, the Stroke, to the stroke of his guitar, and to his political "stroke"). Major League Baseball took offense to the shirt, forcing a change of the slogan on the back to the more generic "Big League Stroke".
