So, I'm not sure where else to put this, and this may not even be anything noteworthy, but I do part-time transcribing for closed captions, and occasionally content from WWE comes up. Usually it's from a recent TV show, or a video for their youtube page. For some reason, today a lot of archival clips of Jeff Jarrett came up. I did several clips from his AWA debut, a match with Chris Jericho in WCW, and a third match, I think also from the AWA. It probably doesn't mean anything, but it does seem unusual and unexpected.
According to a newz site on my FB feed, Jeff Jarrett is rumored to be a WWE Hall of Fame inductee this year.

His name reportedly came up during HOF discussions. He went through WWE sponsored rehab last year so it's not crazy.

Yeah. Like, if you make believe like WWE treats those who accomplish a lot as the most worthy of the hall for a moment like other sports present themselves as doing, Jarrett has a LOT of gold, just between WCW and WWE, not even counting the straps he won in TNA, USWA, and AAA.

4 world titles, 6 IC titles, 3 US titles, and a tag title. Also former European champion. Compare that to people who didn't achieve poo poo like Koko B. Ware, Johnny Rodz (who contributed far more as a trainer than as a worker), and Wendi Richter. Or scumbags like the Warrior, Mae Young, Moolah, or Jerry Lawler, and Jarrett seems like he absolutely belongs.


When I wiki'd him, I also found out he used to have a finish called The Grand Old Dropry (jumping DDT), which is cooler than any other finishing hold name he's ever used.

by title lineage, jeff jarrett held 25% of the jinderweight championship 4 times, so he's effectively a 1-time jinderweight champion. 1 more than ted dibiase or jake the snake!

Trump is a fine entry, Yoko is fine, Larry is fine, Warrior is fine. Two of them are bad people and one thinks the the Illuminati control the sun but they all either drew big or held the belt multiple times in an era where it kind of meant something.

Throwing out the celebrities, Jarrett is a better entry than Rikishi, Rodz, Teddy, Godfaher, Koko, Chris and Mike Von Erich, Wendi Richter, Mae Young and James Dudley.

He's basically on the level of a Ron Simmons.

I just figure, if it's time to induct WCW world champions who had OKish WWE runs but who Vince hates for pretty valid reasons, Vader and the Steiners and Luger are right there, and you'd want to get them in before they die, which will be soon, because of all those bad decisions. The Midnight Express too, I guess, Cornette will probably Wendy's himself up a heart attack soon enough.

Jeff Jarrett will literally never die.

Johnny Rodz was an excellent jobber, sometimes I feel that the WWE HOF does need to honor some of the better jobbers that have come through their ranks.

As far as Koko goes, shame he wasn't 6 inches taller.

I think my new favorite thing about this that TNA's turnover rate is absurd. They announce someone is signed, and by the end of that set of tapings, said talent was either fired or quit.
