JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 Easy answer, no one. Jeff Jarrett was one of the main factors in the creation of TNA, without him TNA doesn't even exist in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted May 5, 2006 Then probably Jarrett would be with WWE. And their programming would be much better with him. So, there'd be less of a need for an "alternative". But, I'm sure someone else eventually would have stepped up to create another haven for washed-up WWE/WCW losers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 I can understand and respect JJ for giving us TNA, without him we wouldnt be here. But i was just wondering what TNA would be like if he steped down from wrestling and focused on all the backstage stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 The chances of Jeff Jarrett returning to WWE would have been low with or without TNA. Vince pretty much fired the guy on live television on the simulcast of Raw and Nitro, and if Vince ever hired Jeff there would be no chance he'd be used in any kind of meaningful role, as Vince would do everything he could do make Jeff's life miserable.

Carnival 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 he also fired Dustin Rhodes on national tv, and he hired him back. I think Jarrett would have returned if he would have swallowed his pride and begged for work. Vince would have brought him in upper-midcard level, jobbed him out to a few guys, and Jarrett would have been gone after that. A short squash run is all he would have gotten.

A short squash run is all he would have gotten. he also fired Dustin Rhodes on national tv, and he hired him back. But Rhodes didn't hold him up for money. Not that Jarrett really did that, but that's how Vince sees it. Vince would have brought him in upper-midcard level, jobbed him out to a few guys, and Jarrett would have been gone after that. A short squash run is all he would have gotten. I don't think Vince would have even done that. Midcard is the best Jarrett would have placed, and even then he'd have been putting people over until he quit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carnival 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 ya i guess it would depend on how Vince was feeling about the "holding up for money" thing. and how much jarrett begged. But I think he would have been brought in at a decent level. He was a 4 time WCW champion, and that was still semi-fresh in people's minds for a year or so after WCW died. I don't think he would have been given a chance to main event at all. But I think they would have brought him in with some momentum before they jobbed him out. They would have played up the fact he was a 4x champ, to make the WWE look better when the midcarders started to beat him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2006 But I think they would have brought him in with some momentum before they jobbed him out. Probably. I could see him getting some wins over the perrenial jobber types before getting fed to someone. If TNA had folded before Panda stepped in and Jeff, for whatever reason, returned to WWE, he would have likely been fed to Lesnar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carnival 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 How'd he fire JJ on national TV? I must've missed it. I don't exactly remember what he said. I just remember bawling my eyes out. IIRC, it was on RAW. I recently watched the last nitro and didn't catch it on there, so during the night of the last nitro Vince was backstage gloating about buying WCW and he showed Jeff Jarrett on the TV and said something to the effect of he's out of a job. I'd like a transcript...or video, cuz I can't remember what he said. He did the same thing with Dustin Rhodes being shown on the television in the back, he said something like Dustin used to be Goldust here in the WWF, blah, blah, he's fired.

Vince was in his office watching Nitro, and made reference to Jeff Jarrett, saying something like "J-E Double F is now G-O-N-E". Jarrett was backstage at Nitro and watching the simulcast with the rest of the wrestlers and when Vince said that, everyone looked at him and Jeff said, "Well, I guess I just got fired" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luke-o 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 I can only assume so. That would make more sense. Although "Im Vincent K McMahon Dammit" would have worked just as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
