Jeff Jarrett is the son of Jerry Jarrett, a longtime and famous promoter.  Jarrett made his
original professional debut in April 1986, a year which also saw the likes of Lex Luger, Sting,
Chris Benoit and Brian Pillman hit the ranks.  He wrestled mainly in the Tennessee-Kentucky
region.

     On March 3, 1989, he teamed with Chris Adams in Dallas to advance in the vacant
WCCW Texas Tag Team Title Tournament.  The duo lost to Beauty and the Beast in the
finals.  Jarrett was going to win a championship, though.  On March 11th, he beat Dutch
Mantel in Memphis to win the CWA Heavyweight Crown.  The next day in Dallas, he teamed
with Kerry Von Erich to win the WCCW World Tag Team Title over Robert Fuller and Jimmy
Golden.  In June, he dropped the CWA Title.  Jarrett teamed with Matt Borne to win the World
Tag Team Title.  The duo were defeated by Cactus Jack and Corporal Braddock on August
4th at the Dallas Sportatorium.  A week later, they regained the championship.  Braddock and
Ron Starr eventually took the belts on September 29th in Dallas.

     Jarrett soon formed a team with Jeff Gaylord.  The two beat Brian Lee and Chuck Casey
to win the USWA World Tag Title at the Mid-South Coliseum on September 3, 1990.  Don
Harris and Lee beat the champs for the belt a week later in Memphis.  Jarrett and Gaylord
beat the champions on September 17th to win their second title.  A tough team made up of
Tony Anthony and Doug Gilbert were able to win the belts on October 6th in Memphis.  That
same night, Jarrett beat Dick Slater to win the USWA Southern Heavyweight Title in
Nashville.  On October 29th in Memphis, Eddie Gilbert beat him for the belt.  He began to
team with Cody Michaels in November.  They won the USWA Tag Title over Anthony and
Gilbert in Jonesboro, Arkansas on November 24th.  The former champions regained the belts
in early December at Memphis.

     He entered a tournament to declare a new USWA Southern Champion and beat Brian
Lee in the finals on January 14, 1991.  Jarrett won his second championship.  On February
4th in Memphis, Jarrett teamed with Jerry Lawler and won the USWA World Tag Team Title,
which had been previously held-up in a match against the Fabulous Ones.  A youngster
named Steve Austin challenged him for the Southern Title on February 25th and the match
was filled with controversy.  USWA Officials had no other option but to hold the title up.  A
tournament was scheduled to determine a new champion.  On March 9th in Memphis, Jarrett
beat Austin in the finals to win his third USWA Southern Title.  Six days later in Dallas, Dr.
Tom Prichard took the belt.  Jarrett and Lawler lost the tag belts to the Texas Hangmen on
March 26th.  He regained the USWA Southern Title on April 8th in Memphis at the Pipkin
Building.  Four days later, he unified Prichard’s Texas claim with his own Tennessee claim.  
Jarrett dropped the title to Eric Embry on May 3rd in Dallas.

     Jarrett formed a tag team with the experienced Robert Fuller.  Their team beat the
Hangman on May 13th to capture the USWA World Tag Title.  Jarrett and Fuller remained the
champs until July 8th, when the Barroom Brawlers beat them by disqualification and were
awarded the belts.  A week later, Fuller and Jarrett regained the championship, victors in a
special Tennessee Street Fight.  They maintained control of the title for several months.  On
September 26th in Memphis, the Texas Outlaws upset them for the title at the Mid-South
Coliseum.

     Jarrett and Fuller won their third USWA Tag Title on October 7th, but lost them to Doug
Masters and Bart Sawyer on November 4th.  In late ’91 and into early 1992, Jarrett and
Robert Fuller reunited to brutally feud with Richard Lee’s Moondogs over the Tag Title.  They
were never able to regain the title.  On June 29, 1992, Jarrett and Lawler reformed their
successful team to beat the Moondogs and capture their second USWA World Tag Title.  The
brutal Moondogs regained the title on July 6th in Memphis.  On the 20th, Jarrett and Lawler
beat them for the belts.

     The World Wrestling Federation ventured into USWA Territory and Jarrett appeared on a
show in Memphis.  Although some fans were unsure of who he was, Jarrett made a statement
by challenging Bret Hart to an Intercontinental Title match.  Hart accepted and eventually won
the bout.  Jarrett had made his presence known and many wrestlers were aware of his
talents.  Maybe they would heed warnings in the future and stay away from Memphis.  The
following night in Memphis, the Moondogs won the World Tag Title.  The Jarrett-Lawler feud
with the Moondogs continued.  They won their fourth USWA Tag Title from the Moondogs not
too long afterwards.  In October, they were defeated once again by the Richard Lee led team.

     Four days before Christmas, Jarrett beat Brian Christopher to win his fifth USWA
Heavyweight Title.  The former champ won the belt  back on January 11, 1993.  Jarrett’s skills
continued to progress and many thought it was time to challenge for the Unified World Title.  
He teamed with Lawler in a tournament to crown new World Tag Team Champions, but were
defeated by the Bruise Brothers in the final on January 25th.  Between March and November ’
93, he won the Southern Title four additional times, giving him a total of nine.  

     On November 22, 1993 in Memphis, he wrestled Lawler after they both were finalists in a
special 20-man battle royal.  The winner would be awarded the vacant USWA World Title
after Randy Savage was stripped.  Jarrett pinned Lawler with his feet on the ropes.  That
same day, he lost the USWA Heavyweight Title to Buddy Landell, but it didn’t matter, he was
the Unified Champion.

     Jarrett went to Providence on January 22, 1994 to compete in the WWF’s annual Royal
Rumble.  In the months that followed, he began to take a bigger role in the national
promotion.  Jarrett joined a host of wrestlers and an estimated 12,000 fans at the King of the
Ring pay-per-view on June 19th in Baltimore.  He met the 1-2-3 Kid in the initial round and
was eliminated.  At the next major WWF show entitled SummerSlam, Jarrett beat Mabel.  On
November 23rd in San Antonio, he teamed with Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart and Jim
Neidhart against the Headshrinkers, Razor Ramon, 1-2-3 Kid and Davey Boy Smith.  Jarrett
was counted out with four others and eliminated.  Ramon ended up winning, a man Jarrett
would see a lot of in the very near future.  Jarrett began to make some serious waves in the
organization.  A new feud began and Jarrett soon became the number one contender to
Ramon’s Intercontinental Championship.

     A Jarrett-Ramon Title Match was written into the Royal Rumble schedule in Tampa on
January 22nd.  Neither wrestler had duel roles that night, so they could concentrate solely on
their match-up.  Jarrett won by countout, but rather than keep the decision as it was, both
men decided to continue.  Jarrett was able to pin Ramon in that time and capture the I-C
Title, his biggest achievement to date.  The Roadie became his manager.  He wrestled and
beat Barry Horowitz in defense of his title on March 13th on Raw from Stockton, California.  
Afterwards, Horowitz wanted a rematch and got Jarrett to sign the contract.  Bob Backlund got
into the mix, attacking Horowitz and signed his name onto the contract.  A Jarrett-Backlund
title match was scheduled.  He retained his belt.  A referee’s decision cost Jeff Jarrett a clear
claim to the WWF Intercontinental Title during the April 30, 1995 version of Action Zone.  Tim
White ran out and explained to the official that Jarrett had cheated to pin Bob Holly and the
match was continued.  Holly, in turn, pinned Jarrett to win the belt.

     WWF President, Jack Tunney reviewed the situation and declared the title held-up.  A
rematch was going to be the deciding factor.  Both matches were taped on April 26th in
Moline, but broadcast over a week’s time on television.  Jarrett pinned Holly in the deciding
match to regain the belt.  He wrestled Ramon with the Roadie as his partner in a special
handicap match at the first In Your House in Syracuse.  The match took place on May 14th
and the two lost to the former champ.  Jarrett was pinned.  Before the month was over, Jarrett
and Ramon traded the title in Quebec over a three-day span.

     With Jarrett’s May 21st win in Trois-Rivieres, he became a three-time holder of the I-C
Belt, only the second to accomplish such a feat.  The first was Ramon’s victory on May 19th
in Montreal.  He did not wrestle during the King of the Ring in June at the Spectrum, but did
second Roadie.  Jarrett’s ally was able to get past Bob Holly in the opener.  He did not fair so
well in the second.  Jarrett was in Nashville to wrestle on the In Your House card on July
23rd.  He met Shawn Michaels in defense of his Intercontinental Belt, but lost the title after
nearly 20-minutes of action.  He remained in the WWF and also returned to Memphis and the
USWA.

     During the summer and into the fall, Jarrett also recovered from some reoccurring
injuries.  Upon returning home, Jarrett found an intruder holding the USWA Unified World
Title.  The man was Ahmed Johnson, a powerful grappler.  He used his talent to over the
champion on December 13th in Tunica, Mississippi.  On December 18th during a live edition
of Raw, Jarrett beat Fatu by disqualification.  Johnson ran out to the ring and their feud had
traveled from the USWA to the WWF.  Jarrett won an important match over Hakushi by
submission on January 8, 1996.  Promoters scheduled Jarrett to wrestle Johnson at the Royal
Rumble in Fresno.  He was disqualified for using his trademark guitar

     In the weeks that followed, he went down with a back injury and the USWA eventually
stripped him of the World Title.  Jarrett never returned to the WWF full-time.  In September
1996, he signed with World Championship Wrestling, which was head over heels in it’s war
with the New World Order.  He made his initial appearance on October 7th during a live
edition of Nitro and speculation immediately was if Jarrett was the newest member of the
NWO.  “Double J” wrestled and beat Hugh Morris with his figure-four leglock.  After the match,
he cleared things up by stating that he wasn’t with the NWO.  He had words for Hulk Hogan
and mentioned his father and Verne Gagne.

     On October 27th in Las Vegas, Jarrett appeared for his first WCW pay-per-view.  He
wrestled and was disqualified in his match with the Giant.  In Florence, South Carolina, Jarrett
competed with another wrestler of scientific skill on November 18th.  He wrestled and beat
Bobby Eaton by submission.  A big win was notched.  He met Ric Flair in the ring afterwards
and Gene Okerlund was able to get in-between with a microphone.  There, Flair announced
that Jeff was the newest member of the Four Horsemen along with Arn Anderson, Chris
Benoit and Steve McMichael.  He wrestled the Giant again at World War III in Norfolk and was
pinned.  Jarrett was also a participant in the huge sixty-man, three-ring battle royal.

     He pinned Chris Benoit at Starrcade 1996 in Nashville on December 29th.  Some
controversy remained if whether Jarrett was a real member of the Horsemen or not.  On
January 6, 1997, during Nitro, Jarrett confronted Flair, Anderson and  Debra and Steve
McMichael.  Debra  backed Jarrett, asking where Benoit and Woman were.  Anderson broke
the news to Jarrett that he was not a member of the group.  Verbal jabs were exchanged and
Anderson took a swipe at Jarrett.  He proceeded to beat the younger man and a match was
scheduled.  Jarrett later pinned Anderson for the three-count.  A war seemed clear on the
horizon.  Jarrett competed against Benoit once again on January 13th.  He won after a
misplaced suitcase delivered by McMichael hit his opponent.

     The Horsemen were on the rocks and a new cog had been thrown into the mix between
McMichael and Benoit.  Jarrett won over Michael Wall Street at Souled Out on January 25,
1997.  He wrestled McMichael on February 23rd in San Francisco.  In the weeks that
followed, he officially joined the Horsemen.  He competed in a huge elimination match on M
arch 16th in the main event of Uncensored in Charleston.  Rocco Rock and Johnny Grudge
beat Jarrett and McMichael in a tag match on April 6th.  The latter enemy pinned him.  In the
weeks that followed, Jarrett set his sights on Dean Malenko’s U.S. Heavyweight Title.  He
challenged Malenko for the belt on May 18th in Charlotte and was defeated by submission.

     On June 9th in Boston, Jarrett beat the champ and captured his first WCW Title.  The U.
S. Champion was kicked out of the Horsemen by Ric Flair in mid-1997.  Debra had words for
Jarrett during Nitro before the Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, where he was wrestling Steve
McMichael for the belt.  At the event, she helped Jarrett in his win and officially joined his
camp.  Debra had given Jarrett Steve’s metal briefcase to hit the challenger with.  Jarrett and
Debra were a proven team.    On August 21st in Nashville, he lost the U.S. Title to
McMichael.  He wrestled Malenko in a match to determine who would receive a shot at
McMichael’s United States Belt at Halloween Havoc.  Jarrett beat Malenko by submission on
September 14th.

     In the weeks that followed, he left the promotion and returned to the World Wrestling
Federation.  He quickly got back into the action.  Jarrett wrestled the Undertaker on
December 7th in Springfield.  Kane interjected and chokeslammed him, giving him a
disqualification victory.  In early 1998, he joined the NWA faction led by Jim Cornette.  He also
won the NWA North American Title.  He wrestled Blackjack Bradshaw on February 15th in
Houston at the No Way Out PPV and lost by disqualification.  He also lost non-title contests to
both Ken Shamrock and Owen Hart in the days following.

     Jarrett did not compete at WrestleMania in Boston.  He pinned Steve Blackman on May
31st at Over the Edge ’98 at the Wisconsin Center.  Jarrett was eliminated from the King of
the Ring Tournament on June 28th in Pittsburgh by Ken Shamrock, the eventual winner.  Val
Venis pinned him in Fresno on July 26th and he lost a hair vs. hair match to X-Pac on August
30th in New York City at SummerSlam.  He took some time off from the ring, only to return
around the time of the WWF World Title Tournament in November.  Jarrett was eliminated in
the first round by Al Snow on November 15th in St. Louis.  Overseas in London, Hunter
Hearst Helmsley beat Jarrett in early December.  Debra McMichael was forced to strip
because of Jarrett’s December 13th loss in Vancouver to Goldust during the Rock Bottom
show.  He entered the Rumble at number 27, a better draw than most, on January 24, 1999.  
Vince McMahon ended with the victory.

     1999 was going to be a successful year for Jeff Jarrett.  On January 25th in Phoenix, he
teamed with Owen Hart to beat Ken Shamrock and the Big Bossman for the WWF World Tag
Team Title.  They received a challenge from D-Lo Brown and Mark Henry on Sunday,
February 14th in Memphis, after returning to his homeland.  The champions retained their
belts.  Brown and Test met the champions on March 28th in Philadelphia at WrestleMania.  
Jarrett pinned Brown.  X-Pac and Kane teamed in Uniondale on March 30th and walked away
with their tag belts.  They lot to the New Age Outlaws on April 25th at Backlash.

     Jarrett suffered the loss of his friend and former partner, Owen Hart on May 23, 1999 in
Kansas City.  Jarrett teamed with Debra in a mixed tag loss to Nicole Bass and Val Venis.  
Two nights later, Jarrett beat the Godfather for the Intercontinental Title in Moline.  His
fourth.  He lost the belt in Toronto to Edge on July 24th.  The next night at Fully Loaded,
Jarrett won his record fifth I-C Title in Buffalo, New York.  D-Lo Brown upended Jarrett on July
27th in Columbus and captured the championship.
     
     At SummerSlam in Minneapolis, Jarrett regained the title for a sixth time, raising his
record once again.  The victory came on August 22, 1999.  He also captured the WWF
European Heavyweight Title with the win.  It was a banner night, winning two belts and raising
is own I-C Title record just a little more.  The next night in Ames, Iowa, he gave the European
Title to Mark Henry as a gift for helping him the night earlier.

     The “Most Downloaded Person on the Internet” Cindy Margolis appeared in Las Vegas at
the Thomas and Mack Center on September 14, 1999.  She appeared in the ring to speak to
the WWF Women’s World Champion, Ivory.  After some words, Jarrett went to the ring and
put the figure-four leglock on the popular model.  Ivory, happy about the incident, wanted to
celebrate with Jarrett, but he decided to put the submission hold on her too.  Jarrett later
mocked Margolis as she was being helped into an ambulance and then got into it with Test.  
A match was scheduled and later, Jarrett and Test wrestled to a no-contest in a wild brawl.  
He had been accompanied to the ring by Miss Kitty and Debra.

     Some controversy began as Jarrett’s contract neared an end with the WWF.  He planned
to jump back to WCW, but remained the WWF I-C Champion.  Officials wanted him to appear
and wrestle Chyna for the belt on October 17th, but there was a question if he would or not.  
Jarrett was paid a substantial amount of money to return to the WWF in Cleveland and
wrestle Chyna.  He appeared the lost the belt.  In the weeks that followed, Jarrett returned to
World Championship Wrestling.

     Jeff was immediately penciled into the vacant WCW World Title Tournament.  On
November 21, 1999 in Toronto, he wrestled and lost to Chris Benoit in the semifinals.  In
December, he wrestled Benoit again for the vacant U.S. Heavyweight Title.  Benoit won a
classic ladder match.  The next night on Nitro, Jarrett won the belt and helped reform the New
World Order with the Outsiders and Bret Hart.  He also helped Hart regain the World Title in a
match with Bill Goldberg.  Over the next month, both Hart and Jarrett went out with injuries,
thus changing the main event for Souled Out on January 16, 2000.

     Hart was scheduled to defend his WCW World Title against Jarrett.  Instead, Jarrett was
stripped of the U.S. Title and Hart was stripped of the World Title.  Benoit went on to beat Sid
Vicious for the vacant World Title.  The next day in Columbus, Kevin Nash, who was the
Commissioner,  returned the United States belt to Jarrett.  

     As good as 1999 was professionally, 2000 was even going to be better for the career of
Jeff Jarrett.  On February 20th in San Francisco, he challenged Sid Vicious for the WCW
World Title.  Hall was the third man in the ring fighting for the belt.  Vicious pinned Hall to
retain.  He received another shot on March 19th in Miami against Vicious.  Jarrett was pinned.

     On April 10th, WCW changed forever.  Vince Russo teamed with Eric Bischoff to
formulate a new plan of action.  The “New Blood” was created and Jarrett was at the head of
the pack.  The U.S. Title was stripped away from Jarrett and put up in a tournament, but that
belt didn’t mean much to him anymore.  There were other things on the horizon.  The WCW
World Title was also stripped from Sid Vicious’ waist and put up in a tournament.  Jarrett
wrestled Curt Hennig that night in Denver and won by pinfall.  Later in the evening, he
appeared to do commentary during Dallas Page’s match against Sting.  Jarrett began to
harass Kimberly and got into a brawl with Page.  He attempted to hit Page with his guitar and
missed, hitting Kimberly by mistake.  Jarrett enlisted in the vacant World Title Tournament
and advanced to the finals against Page on April 16th in Chicago.  He pinned his opponent
and won his first WCW World Title.  The golden belt was wrapped around Jarrett’s waist.

     On April 24th in Rochester, he battled Page in a special steel cage match.  Vince Russo
accompanied him to the ring.  An attempt from newcomer Mike Awesome to help Jarrett failed
and Page won the belt.  Things continued to get as wild as could be.  Actor, David Arquette
pinned Eric Bischoff the next night during a tag team match in Syracuse and won the WCW
World Title.  Bischoff had teamed with Jarrett against Arquette and Page during the WCW
Thunder Taping.  A Hollywood Actor was the World Champion and everyone was determined
to bring the belt back home.

     Reminding some of the film “Ready to Rumble,” which Arquette had starred in, a three-
tiered cage match was scheduled for May 7th in Kansas City.  Jarrett would face Arquette
and Page for the belt in a three-way match.  He was successful in his bid and regained the
belt.  In Biloxi on May 15th, Ric Flair, wearing civilian attire, beat Jarrett during Nitro and won
his seventh WCW World Title.  A week later, things got confusing.  Russo stripped Flair of the
title and gave it back to Jarrett.  Kevin Nash snatched the title and stated that if Russo and
Jarrett wanted the belt, they’d have to wrestle him for it.

     Later in the night, Jarrett beat Nash in a falls-count-anywhere match, where Russo
served as the special referee, and captured his third WCW World Title.  In a months time,
Jarrett had captured three World Titles.  The next night in Saginaw, Nash beat Jarrett and
Scott Steiner in a three-way match to win the championship.  Nash proceeded to give the title
back to Flair, stating that he had never lost it.  Jarrett quickly challenged Flair on May 29th in
Salt Lake City.

     Before a stunned crowd, Jarrett beat Flair and won his fourth WCW World Title.  He
wrestled Scott Steiner in defense of his WCW World Title on June 19, 2000 in Billings,
Montana.  Jarrett remained the champion after the match.  Talk of Jarrett’s pay-per-view title
defense against Hulk Hogan in July began to build.  He called three large women to the ring
during the July 3rd Monday Nitro in Charleston.  “Double J” asked each of them to say a few
words and wanted one of them to sing over Hogan’s body at Bash at the Beach.  A member
of WCW’s Standards and Practices went to the ring and confronted Jarrett.  The champion hit
the man with the guitar and laid him out to the delight of the crowd.  He also had words for
WCW Commissioner, Ernest Miller.  

     Booker T beat Jarrett by disqualification on July 5th in Columbus, Georgia.  The guitar
shot ended the bout.  Ernest Miller was also laid out.  Jarrett remained the champ going into
the Bash on July 9th in Daytona Beach.  Things were as wild and unpredictable as they
came.  Even more.  Jarrett went to the ring with Vince Russo to defend his WCW World Title
against Hogan.  Hogan followed and got into the ring.  Some words were spoken and then
Jarrett laid down on the mat.  Hogan stepped on Jarrett and a pinfall was counted.  The title
changed hands.

     Russo spoke to the crowd and announced that the belt Hogan had won was the
“Memorial Belt” and that Jarrett remained the champion.  Fans were bewildered and wasn’t
sure what to believe, but Russo’s passionate speech seemed real enough.  It was also
announced that Jarrett was going to defend his title later in the night against Booker T.  After
a tough bout, Jarrett was pinned for the second time and lost the WCW World Title…for the
second time.  The Hogan-Jarrett-Russo situation opened up lines of controversy and many
questioned the seriousness of the work.  Jarrett spoke on WCW Live after the match via the
Internet.  Some of the truth came out.

     The next night in Jacksonville, he won a four-way match to earn a rematch against
Booker T at the New Blood Rising pay-per-view.  Jarrett beat out Steiner, Goldberg and
Kanyon.  He also had words with Billy Kidman.  The event was held on August 13th in
Vancouver and Jarrett wrestled Booker in a rematch.  He was defeated.  On September 17th
in Buffalo, Jarrett wrestled former ECW World Champion, Mike Awesome.  In a match which
also saw Gary Coleman, of “Different Strokes” Television Fame, interfere with a low blow on
Jarrett, Awesome won by pinfall.  He gained some immediate revenge with a guitar shot on
Coleman.

     During the early moments of the October 2nd edition of Nitro, Vince Russo scheduled a
match between Jarrett and Scott Steiner for the vacant WCW World Title later in the
evening.  After Russo was driven from the building by Bill Goldberg, Mike Sanders was put in
charge.  Ernest Miller then changed the title match from Jarrett vs. Steiner to Booker T vs.
Sting.  Sanders and Miller conferred and announced a tag team match between Steiner and
Sting and Booker and Jarrett.  The winning tag team would compete against each other later
in the night.  Jarrett pinned Sting after hitting him with one of his famous guitars.  Booker and
Jarrett were going to the main event.

     The two would not be facing each other in just a regular match, but a special “San
Francisco 49er” match.  Four boxes would hang over each cornerpost.  Inside those boxes
would be a different item, either to use as a weapon or other.  In one of the containers would
be the gold WCW World Title Belt.  Whoever found the belt would be the new champion.  
During the match, the competitors revealed a framed picture of Outsider Scott Hall, a blow-up
doll and a pair of coal-miner’s gloves.  The final box was opened by Booker, who won the
match after Jarrett was attacked by Beetlejuice, both an actor and a member of the famous
Howard Stern Wack Pack.  The match was a brawl and scientific at moments and both were
praised for their efforts.

     On October 29th in Las Vegas, Jarrett wrestled Sting.  He hired a number of wrestlers to
portray Sting during different times in his career.  All of them proceeded to attack Sting
during the match.  He beat Buff Bagwell with his guitar on November 26th  at Mayhem in
Milwaukee.  He also fought with David Flair.  Jarrett teamed with the Harris Brothers to beat
the Filthy Animals, Billy Kidman, Konnan and Rey Misterio Jr. on December 17th at
Starrcade.  He pinned Kidman to end the contest.

     Ric Flair named Jeff Jarrett as one of four men to compete for a place in the three-way
dance at Sin in January on December 18, 2000 in Richmond, Virginia.  None of the wrestlers
could reveal their opportunity prior despite a lurking World Champion who wanted to know.  
Scott Steiner confronted Jarrett, but the “Chosen One” refused to give up any information.  
Lance Storm beat Rey Misterio Jr. in the opening bout.  Jarrett wrestled Mike Awesome in the
second.  He landed a guitar shot and met Storm in the finals.  There, he won by pinfall.  
Jarrett had battled his way into a World Heavyweight Title opportunity.  He wanted his fifth
WCW Belt.  Jarrett claimed afterwards that he was going to be the only one to watch Steiner’s
back.  No one knew who the third “mystery” opponent was.  Some predicted it was going to
be Rick Steiner, but they were proved wrong.  

     On January 14, 2001 in Indianapolis, he wrestled against Sid Vicious and the mystery
challenger, Road Warrior Animal against the WCW World Champion, Scott Steiner.  In the
end of a wild contest, Steiner pinned Vicious to retain his belt.  During the early months of
2001, speculation of WCW’s probable sale was running rampant.  The move was going to be
made, but to who and when were the questions.  Jarrett feuded with Dallas Page going into
SuperBrawl in February.  Page pinned him in their pay-per-view contest.  During Nitro on
February 26th from New Orleans, Jarrett wrestled Dustin Rhodes as Ric Flair acted as
special referee.  Before the match, references to Dusty Rhodes were made.  Flair ended up
helping Jarrett get the victory and then continued to beat him after the match.  Booker T,
Ernest Miller and Dallas Page ran out to help make the save.

     In the weeks that followed, more humorous remarks were made about the former three-
time NWA World Champion, Dusty Rhodes, including a wild impersonation.  Dusty made his
return to WCW and the promotions for a huge tag team event at Greed was scheduled.  
Jarrett would team with Flair against Dusty and Dustin Rhodes, father and son.  Greed was
the final WCW pay-per-view under the ownership of AOL-Time Warner and was held on
Sunday, March 18th in Jacksonville.  The tag match ended when Dustin pinned Flair.

     The final WCW Nitro was held on March 26th from Panama City Beach, Florida.  Vince
McMahon appeared on the show as some moments were simulcast between TNT and TNN.  
Early on in the WWF Broadcast of Raw from Cleveland, McMahon appeared before two
televisions, one for the WWF and one for WCW.  Jarrett was on the WCW television and
McMahon announced that after the night was over, they would spell Jarrett’s name “G,
Double O, NE…Gone.”

     Several rumors were that Jarrett was going to appear when WCW was relaunched later in
the year.  Late in the Nitro Broadcast, Shane McMahon announced that he had purchased
WCW from his father and instead of closing the promotion’s doors, he was going to keep the
organization going.  During the summer, WCW invaded WWF Territory.  Competitors from
Booker T to Dallas Page appeared, but Jeff Jarrett hadn’t.  Neither had Ric Flair, Kevin Nash
or Scott Steiner.  Many wondered where Jarrett was going to go next.

     In October 2001, Jarrett joined the World Wrestling All-Stars overseas in Australia for a
tour.  The WWA was promoted by Jeremy Borash and also included Road Dogg Jesse James
Armstrong, Konnan, Buff Bagwell, Jerry Lawler and Bret “Hitman” Hart.  Lawler was a member
of the commentary staff and Hart was the WWA Commissioner.

     On Friday, October 26, 2001 in Sydney, Jarrett beat Road Dogg in a “Seven Deadly Sin”
tournament final to capture the initial WWA World Heavyweight Title.  The final, bloody match
was held inside of a steel cage.  Bret Hart was involved in the final match of the initial WWA
pay-per-view, “Inception.”  After the bout, Hart put Jarrett in a sharpshooter for good
measure.  Nevertheless, Jarrett was again a World Champion.

     In late November and into early December, the WWA held shows in Ireland and England.  
Scott Steiner made his first appearance on Saturday, December 1, 2001.  It wasn’t long
before “Big Poppa Pump” wanted some of the headlines…and he got Hart to put him into a
three-way World Title Match between Jarrett and Road Dogg.  Jeff pinned Armstrong to retain
his belt.  Steiner’s impact was felt throughout the WWA and many predicted that if Jarrett was
going to be beaten, it was going to be the man from Michigan who did it.
