10 Cringeworthy Worked Shoots In Wrestling History

10. Jeff Jarrett Is "Held Back"

During the Monday Night Wars, Jeff Jarrett was probably the greatest benefactor of WCW and the WWF sniping after each others' talent, laddering his way between both companies in an attempt to improve his standing. After a year-long stint in WCW, the former Double J returned to Stamford in 1997, and instead of the nifty midcard heel gimmick of a deluded country singer, Jarrett was repackaged as... well, a whiny b**ch, to be frank.

Mr. Jarrett's baby boy came out on the October 20th episode of RAW, interrupting the show and cutting a "shoot" promo, decrying WCW for holding him back. The problem, of course, was that WCW hardly held Jarrett back, giving him a run with the United States Championship and even putting him in the Four Horsemen. So to anyone who knew what went on in WCW, they could see Jarrett was full of cr*p, and anybody who only watched the WWF had no reason to care that another company held him back.

Jarrett proceeded to further bury himself when he called out other wrestlers in the WWF, specifically Stone Cold Steve Austin. Double J decried the Austin 3:16 catchphrase, calling it blasphemous. Austin apparently was so offended, he used his backstage power to stifle any main event push Jarrett would have received, and by late 1999, "The Chosen One" scampered back to WCW.
