10 Greatest Hits Of WWE Hall Of Famer Jeff Jarrett

10. With My Baby Tonight

Not since the Lex Express had Vince McMahon invested so much time, effort and finance into a smoke-and-mirrors preservation of a performer, but at least Jeff Jarrett's was supposed to make him hated.

After years of working a gimmick framed around a fraudulent singing career, his 'With My Baby Tonight' video gave the doubters pause for thought. The catchy country ditty had admirable vocals, with Jarrett promising a live performance at July 1995's In Your House 2 ahead of his Intercontinental Title defence against Shawn Michaels.

Fans and observers begrudgingly gave credit on the night - 'Double J' was better than passable behind the microphone. Unfortunately, both he and partner The Roadie stormed out of the company entirely before a payoff revealed that Jeff was miming whilst his supposed sidekick hit the high notes in hiding.

It was creative McMahon was determined to get mileage out of too - a grossly misguided 'Real Double J' gimmick was handed to the Brian James in late-1996 to cynically present Jeff as a real imposter rather than just a storyline hack singer. Jarrett's re-emergence in WCW that summer had Vince desperate to claim the bragging rights over something on Nitro, and 'Double J' was again his punching bag.
