Mostly I just wonder if you're going to bring back Jeff Jarrett why spend time exclusively dwelling on the singing gimmick. I imagine there's way more nostalgia for him from around the Attitude Era and WCW, much less his TNA run. The video wasn't just his singing gimmick, it kinda went through all of his career, inclduing Aztec Warrior, and WCW Chosen one stuff. When talking about hte IC Title the shots were almost all from his time with Debra and Owen. but starting with the Country Music stuff is because the PPV is in Nashville. Didn't see this bit, was more referring to the other times they've had Jarrett pop up in recent years and acted like that was his entire deal.

When I saw the reaction to this online, I thought it meant that Jarrett would be reffing the Summerslam main event, which I was cool with.
I'm cool with this too as I've always liked Jeff, but the randomness of inserting him into this feud (beyond where the match is taking place) makes me wonder if this is either a red herring OR the set-up for something bigger like JJ's first steps towards being an on air authority figure.

wwf neon cowboy jeff was lame, but uswa jeff is great and a great babyface, and I enjoy his myworld show on youtube, one of the two best punchers the current crew as access to (along with lawler) and was always a solid in ring wrestler.
That said, I'm not exactly sure what his connection is with the match he's supposed to be the referee for. Why would he be the perfect referee to remedy the problem they had? "two tag teams are out of control and we can't find a referee to finish this match, let's get jeff jarrett!" just seems really random, like "he's the one guy hanging around backstage that isn't causing problems right now, so let's use him?", lol

See, if the story was that the Usos were using guitars to cheat in tag matches against the Profits, I can get bringing someone in who you can show archive footage of getting guitars out so he’d know when they’d attempt to hit people with them. It’d be like having Sting involved if they had baseball bats or something like that. But in this case, it’s just having a guy for the sake of it on a show that didn’t really need him besides the Nashville connection at a stretch? The video wasn't just his singing gimmick, it kinda went through all of his career, inclduing Aztec Warrior, and WCW Chosen one stuff. When talking about hte IC Title the shots were almost all from his time with Debra and Owen. but starting with the Country Music stuff is because the PPV is in Nashville. Didn't see this bit, was more referring to the other times they've had Jarrett pop up in recent years and acted like that was his entire deal. I’ve said this myself, more people watched him when he was not doing the singing stuff in WWF and WCW so why are we acting like it was the most significant thing he did? It’d be like bringing back Billy Gunn as Rockabilly or Sean Waltman as the 1-2-3 Kid. More of that audience you are seeking know them as Bad Ass Billy Gun and X-Pac, why are you kidding yourselves?

Probably be a cold day in hell before Vince is willing to admit that someone was significantly more successful working someplace else.

Which I’d get if, like, a big portion of the character wasn’t done in his company. Like, I can get why you wouldn’t show some of it (I’m pretty sure WWE would not like to remind people that Jeff Jarrett once assaulted a makeup lady on live TV) but still.

I feel like this gets us one step closer to GM Jeff Jarrett, who’s constantly gambling away the superstars/shows themselves. Becky Lynch will appearing at local YMCA’s to raise money for a new fire truck, Smackdown will take place on a riverboat casino, etc.

I don't mind the neon cowboy because, selfishly, it's what I grew up with and still find most entertaining. The Slapnuts period was funny but it's associated with a time WCW was actively tanking (could say the same for mid-90's WWF but hey, they're around) and My World Jarrett is mainly from another company.
I do love that the story is just "our refs f***ing suck at their job". Not even needing an enforcer or special ref who won't get bullied. I hope Jarrett f***s up the finish too just to bring it around.

Every time I see this, I’m just slapped with a wave of underwhelming. I always expect mystery anything’s to be lame, and this is even moreso than usual. Lol
