\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a lot of times I find out of what\u2019s going on in wrestling solely based on one of my close friends sending me a random text message commentating on something that he\u2019s watching live and I\u2019m not.\u00a0 Just the other day, he sends me a message saying:<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to see if we\u2019re right about Jeff Jarrett being a company killer<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I laughed because of the time of day it was and that it was on a Wednesday, I knew that Jeff Jarrett had finally decided to become hashtagALLELITE and that he had shown up on AEW.\u00a0 The real question was who he bashed his balsa wood fake guitar on, because Jeff Jarrett literally does nothing other than that spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

A quick Google search confirmed that Jeff Jarrett was definitely ALLELITE and had done so by bashing his balsa wood fake guitar over Darby Allin, which I probably could\u2019ve guessed in maybe three or four tries, because for some reason, Darby Allin seems to be completely okay with being a gatekeeper for the company in which all incoming talent seems to gravitate towards, and usually beats the unholy shit out of him at some point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, let\u2019s get back to Jeff Jarrett, and the claim that he\u2019s a company killer.\u00a0 After all, the Jarrett family is somewhat low country wrestling royalty in the regard that they\u2019ve been running promotions for generations now, but Jeff himself has been varying degrees of involved with primarily TNA which is now Impact! Wrestling, but also the NWA, Global Force, GCW and even with some appearances with New Japan.\u00a0 At no point in his involvement with any of these promotions did they ever really light the world on fire, and only in his time with TNA was Jeff himself remotely close to being anything of a superstar in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reputation comes from the fact that none of these promotions ever really benefit from the addition of Jeff Jarrett, feeding the narratives that the WWE put onto him that he was never really more than a mid-card ceiling kind of guy.\u00a0 Furthermore, Jeff Jarrett has been around long enough, to where he\u2019s gotten to be involved with various factions and trends throughout the years, but again, not in a particularly good way.<\/span><\/p>\n

I ilke to describe Jeff Jarrett as kind of wrestling\u2019s version of the Family Guy joke killer meme, where once Family Guy makes a reference to something popular, that thing is immediately uncool and dead in the water right then and there.\u00a0 Jeff Jarrett had the misfortune of being added to the nWo 2000<\/strong> stable during his time in WCW which lasted all of like a month; it\u2019s easy to say it\u2019s because WCW couldn\u2019t book a fish into water, or that Bret Hart\u2019s career was already over, but let\u2019s be real, it was because it was Jeff Jarrett was a member.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly 15 years later, after Jarrett had lost TNA and was spinning his wheels with Global Force, during a show in partnership with New Japan, Jeff Jarrett shocks (read: surprises nobody) when he brandishes a balsa wood fake guitar with the Bullet Club<\/strong> logo on it and bashes it over Hiroshi Tanahashi, effectively joining the evil gaijin stable.\u00a0 Needless to say, all the coolness of Bullet Club flew out the window faster than the hopes and dreams of everyone trying to win Powerball, and the stable hasn\u2019t recovered since.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Jeff Jarrett has been clawing at relevancy in any way shape or form, derailing promotions left and right.\u00a0 For all the exposure and life Matt Cardona had injected into GCW, all it took was Jeff Jarrett appearing on their THE WRLD ppv, where he buried Effy, and GCW hasn\u2019t recovered since.\u00a0 Jeff Jarrett was Ric Flair\u2019s LAST MATCH EVERRRR, and it\u2019s almost like the marks who put the show together were trying to hedge their bets by preemptively calling their Jim Crockett Promotions show a one-time deal, but it\u2019s really like they\u2019re restauranteurs who already saw the writing on the wall when working with Double-J and didn\u2019t bother promoting anything beyond the single show, if it meant being associated with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the WWE wasn\u2019t safe from the stink of Jeff Jarrett, as he was brought in for some reason to be a special referee for the feud between the Usos and Street Profits, and not long afterward, the Vince McMahon scandal blew up, and of all the people and shots that have been fired at him throughout the decades, really all it took was having to work with Jeff Jarrett that seems to have effectively killed such an unkillable career.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, hopefully Tony Khan knows what he\u2019s doing in getting into bed with Jeff Jarrett, because as history has proven throughout the millennium, doing business with Jeff Jarrett has often come with some seriously bad consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
