Jeff Jarrett to the WWE Hall of Fame

Also known as dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.



I'm not sure if this is some big rib on TNA or just another way of Vince showing how he can get anyone back in the fold one way or another, but this is just so bizarre to see.

I honestly don't know what to say.

After doing my research over the years i can say i never thought this would happen.

Makes thd HoF ceremony something to watch. I wonder if Kurt will be there.

I'm gonna' guess Road Dogg to induct him given their WWF related connections, but Jeepers Creepers this is bizarre.

Not really getting how this is all that strange. Vince has reconciled with competitors and other 'unreconcilables' before.

I think the weirdest part about all this is that it's coming right after Jarrett goes into rehab. You'd think you'd wait a bit more than 3 months to jump on that. But I guess WWE just wanted to rub one over the bleeding body of TNA.

Another pretty egregious point is how it's another character in the same year that has a big highlight attached to Chyna getting inducted while she gets the shaft again.

that is the most surprising aspect of this. He hasn't proven himself clean and they're giving him the HOF rub. That being said he's the undercard for this years HOF, so it's not like they're really marketing the HOF ceremony towards him. They waited on Angle because he's the guy they built the HOF class around.

With regards to Vince McMahon mending fences with another talent who burned a bridge, I was surprised that it happened, if only because Jeff Jarrett doesn't draw money. All the other big fences he mended involved guys who drew money and were top guys for the company. In addition, he was able to use the mended fences to make more money.

The joke you ended with (I don't know if you were going for the joke or not but it's there and is awesome, props to you) is the reason. Not saying I agree with it, and she definitely deserves to go in eventually, but it's the reason and it's not unfair. She'll get in eventually (hell this years class isn't over yet). While it's sad to say it this way, now that she's passed there's no hurry to induct her as she can't accept it.

All these posts and no mention of the fact that Jarrett was just a WWE midcarder whose biggest contribution to the wrestling business seems to be starting a feeder system for the WWE?

It was kind of a given that Jarrett isn't a Hall of Famer for everything he did in WWE. If you throw in his WCW accomplishments then sure, but ignoring that it's not like the Hall of Fame has exactly had a standard set of criteria.

[Барбоса]

Can't say that I am all that surprised at a six-time Intercontinental Champion, Euro-continental champion, tag champion, three-time US champion and four-time WCW champion being inducted.

There are plenty of HoFers less worthy than him.
