Jeff Jarrett deserves to be in the HOF just for that MMA Challenge storyline in TNA when he went to a dojo and was tapping out 8 year olds with lovely armbars.

To be (entirely too) fair, the answer to "Could Okada get a ***** match out of __________________?" is usually "yeah, probably" but that's because Okada is a fuckin pro-wrestling prodigy

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

Hey man, I'm just glad that after all the crazy booking they've done to Dolph and how every opportunity he had got wrecked through every fault of his own because he pissed off people backstage or whatever, he's taking the company for every dime he can because they don't want him going to the competition. I'll enjoy his HoF entry in like 15-20 years when he's the Jarrett of that class.

I don't know about all-time classics with Okada, but I do agree he'd fit right in with the Bullet Club and he has a look and style that seems like it'd get very over with the NJPW fanbase. Still, I doubt he'd make more money elsewhere, and if he wants to make plans for his post-WWE career he has way more opportunities to do that in America.

I also don't think Dolph would get over in New Japan as is nor would be willing to put in the work Cody did to get over on the Indies.

Him taking the WWE for large money is good though ( he's not getting 1.5 million of course)

The only thing I know about Jeff Jarrett is that pretty much every wrestling podcast I've ever listened to went into the thing hating him and came out the other end of their reviews loving him. Also he fleeced Vince once and guitars are cool as weapons and he beat up children in TNA. Also apparently he's hilariously good at tricking people into paying him fortunes despite always failing at everything he's ever done, which based on comparable contemporaries in American life not only qualifies him to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, but also President of the United States.

He's really bad at tricking people into paying him fortunes and once voluntarily negotiated his WCW contract down while the company was having money problems. Lost his gig in WWA to a guy who never signed with the company, lost his second gig with Zero One due to being a prima donna, lost his own company TWICE, and it goes on.
