AxB Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It wasn't MMA Double J, it was Double J Double M A. Almost as funny as when he introduced the two Mexicans as Jose and Hose B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I never watched TNA religiously but I did turn it on from time to time, so my experience with Jarrett there was limited. I do remember seeing Jarret doing an in-ring promo with whatever faction he was running at the time and all the smart marks kept chanting "drop the belt!" Jarrett slyly smirked and let it slide off his shoulder and fall to the mat. That was fucking great. The guy gets a pass in my book. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Jarrett and his stranglehold on the NWA title was as bad as 2003 HHH. It was probably worse since Jarrett created TNA so he could be the top star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 On the other hand, Jeff Jarrett in Ring Ka King was absolutely tremendous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody here should write a screenplay for that shit, and make something out of it. Just change the wrestlers names, and hope they won’t notice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 If they did something on it, I get the feeling they'd more likely be proud. Is there anywhere online to watch Ring Ka King? I missed all but clips of Steiner chasing fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several years ago RF Video did a shoot with Raven and The Honky Tonk Man where they spent about an hour reading through various posts in the thread and discussing their merits. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Double J had a lot of great moments and stretches in TNA. The problem is that only accounts for maybe 25% of his time there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did not really have many options beyond Jarrett. A lot of the roster was very young and could not really be the face of the company. I think giving the title to AJ Styles in 03 was a mistake. I think the one time he should have dropped it was to Raven in 03. That was the biggest buyrate the weekly PPVs ever got. If they had done a strong finish with Raven winning, would have changed the companies future. Once Sting and Kurt Angle arrived, Jarrett was never near the World title again.

Him and Sting has a feud over the belt. He did drop it the last time right after Angle came in. Still, that was almost four years of being on top nearly always. He held the belt for a combined 1,006 days in just shy of four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Clearly they are prepping Andrade to be a part of the new League of Nations with Cesaro, Sheamus, and Rusev. Holy shit can we actually have that please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a lot of weekly PPV early TNA and JJ refusing to drop the title and top spot was terrible along with Russo's garbage WCW worked shoot garbage. At the time they were pushing for Raven as a top star and the fans were eating it up and then JJ beat him and he got crapped on by the fans even though he was the face. IIRC there was this one match where JJ basically defeated the entire roster and retained the title on one of those weekly PPV's. Some really overbooked terrible stuff. I will admit, I forgot about the MMA stuff, but that stuff was so terrible and cringy, it was actually funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a solid mid-card heel, but definitely not someone that should have ever been been a company's top guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
