I would say the only thing holding Jarrett back was an average look/presence

 

[Hoss]

I mean, he doesn't really jump out of the TV at you when you shows up

 

[Hoss]

But he's entertaining as hell on the mic and in the ring imo

 

[Ricky Smarks]

TBH I think the fact Jarrett kept TNA alive for about 6 years off his back is the testament that he draws enough. He'll never be Austin, but man Hart and HBK never really drew either so meh.

His gimmick, character are top rate for me and I never saw a bad Jarrett match. Sometimes being dependable is good. He can work with about anyone.

 

[Hoss]

Not a whole lot of wrestlers DO draw

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Exactly.

 

[Hoss]

A lot of wrestling fans are wrestling fans. To pull in additional viewers and shit is a pretty big feat.

I'm not running the business so it doesn't really matter to me if someone draws or not. I mean I'd prefer wrestlers draw, especially ones I like bc it overall benefits the business but if I'm entertained and they don't draw oh well I don't gotta make that decision

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Chochochooooooooosen one!!!!

The craziest shit I learned this week was that Jeff was never TNA World Champion

We all prefer wrestlers that draw, but most of the business doesn't. So all I'm saying s it's a poor argument to make against Jarrett, specifically.

Neither was Christian @EC

Not the official TNA belt, nope. He only carried TNA until there was a proper main event scene that didn't need him.

That's slightly less shocking but still wild
