If this whole situation works it way out that Jarrett no longer has a place in TNA and he decides to retire would you like to see a retirement angle done with a huge focus on his last match followed by a tribute by the rest of the company.
Now I know that the very reason that this would have to be done was because those in the company lost respect/faith in Jarrett, so it would be unlikely to honor him. However, I feel with all that he has meant to TNA (like him or not, he created the darn company) he deserves a respectful send off.

Only if he meant it. I honestly think Jarrett deserves a respectful end, but if he just wanted to leave and wrestle elsewhere, I wouldn't want them to go that route.

Not just no but hellz no. I am sorry but even if the rumors are not true and none of this had happened, he still wouldn't rate a tenth of the ceremony Flair got and deserved

If they force him out he will go start another version of USWA/WCW again and try to get it a national tv deal

Sorry to the OP but, LMFAO. Only top tier STARS should get that and Jarrett would be lucky to be in the Top 50 of All Time.

If we were talking about TNA, though, Jarrett would be like THE man in the company's history. It's not even arguable. He has been in the company and the company's main event the most by a landslide. Who else would come close? Sting, and then...? Not to mention, dude has been in the business for like a damn eternity, and is a former WCW champ. He's not a favorite, but he's probably a legend by now.

It's a nice idea but I don't think Vince would let Shawn work a PPV match in TNA to retire Jarrett though.

Its sort of like, and I know people will crap on this, but its sort of like if Paul E was forced out of the old ECW.
People may dislike Jarrett, or TNA as a whole, but Jarrett IS TNA, really. So if he's done in TNA, I think he deserves a big sendoff for what hes put into the company.
Flair's sendoff was because he was arguably the best of all time finally ending his legendary career. It wouldnt be for the same reasons obviously, because while I think Jarrett has always been a good performer, hes no Flair. But I think, because of what Jarrett means to TNA, that he may deserve something of the sort.
Again, not because Jarrett is as good as Flair, but because Jarrett IS TNA.

As a wrestler, I don't think Jeff's had nearly the same impact (no pun intended) as someone like Flair. I never really have bought him as anything but an upper midcarder at best when he held the various World Championships he did.
Now as a businessman, that's another story, but when I hear "legend," Jeff Jarrett is one of the last people that comes to mind. Something like Flair's retirement should only be reserved for the true legends of the industry. The Hulk Hogans. The Steve Austins. The Shawn Michaelses. The Undertakers. Hell, even the Triple H's.

No. I simply don't think JJ has done ANYTHING to warrant that kind of send off. I can't really think of any match or angle involving him that was truly awesome or memorable. No disrespect to the man but. . . ah. .no. He could maybe go back to the E and have one last IC run. That would be all right. I guess.

Sure, he is the founder of TNA after all so i imagine the TNA owes him that much. He main evented the weekly PPV's and they were able to get a prime time TV deal out of it, so i think his worth to TNA is worthy of a send off. Anywhere else, no. I think WWE should include him in their HoF though.
Obviously a Ric Flair send off from TNA would be about him creating TNA and carrying them for so long. Flair would get the send off he got anywhere because of his great career but you can't deny the importance of Jeff Jarrett to TNA.

He left on bad terms. Hell the reason why TNA even came about because Vince didn't want him back. More then likely if Jarrett even wants to wrestle against he be in one of the other indies or Japan. If he still wants to be around as a business guy. Either A. He join up with another company to start another company. Because alone he can't do it. B. He becomes a booker or whatever for a company that already going.

At the risk of being unpopular, I say HELL YEAH. When it is all said and done, I think Jeff Jarrett will be (and arguably is) more important than Ric Flair ever was. Keep in mind that I do not mean as a performer but for overall impact on the wrestling business. Ric Flair was one of the greatest performers of all times for over 30 years. However, at the end of the day, all Ric was is a performer. His legacy is that he had some really good matches and some awesome promos. Jeff Jarrett, on the other hand, while not nearly the caliber of performer of Ric Flair had a much bigger impact. His legacy is the number 2 wrestling promotion in the US. Like him or not that is a pretty big legacy. How many wrestlers would be out there starving and killing themselves in smalltime indy promotions if not for Jeff Jarrett? Is TNA perfect? Hell no. But neither is any wrestling promotion. Does it provide a place for talented wrestlers to ply their craft and entertain crowds? Yes. Basically, it comes down to this. A legacy of good (albeit overrated imo) matches and promos versus a legacy of keeping the wrestling business from being monopolized and giving younger wrestlers a place to work. In conclusion, I don't think Jeff Jarrett gets nearly the respect he deserves for TNA.
