10 Things That Would Have Happened If Vince Russo Booked Every WWE Era

4. Jeff Jarrett Would Have Broken The Undertaker's WrestleMania Streak

Vince Russo loved Jeff Jarrett.

Jeff Jarrett was a B+ Player well before Triple H coined the term to bury Daniel Bryan ahead of wrestling him (!) which then never happened (!). He was decent in the ring - even excellent, at least when paired with Shawn Michaels in midcard Intercontinental Title bouts - and like many New Generation castoffs, he with Russo's help reinvented himself in the Attitude Era. His exaggerated misogynist character was a hit in the midcard. There's that word again.

There was no shame in being a midcard act in the Attitude Era. Many of them were more over then than the nominal top stars are today. Jeff Jarrett, though, wasn't a headliner. His matches weren't close to the barnstormers performed by The Rock and Kurt Angle. Slap Nuts t-shirts were nowhere near as popular as Austin 3:16.

None of this stopped Russo from promoting Jarrett to the main event in two separate companies, which either died a depressing death or failed spectacularly to get off the ground. That might be a coincidence, but sometimes, you've just got to shave with Occam's razor. It was as if Russo knew that Jarrett just needed something to get over.

Bro - bro - what if broke the Streak? What? Jarrett is an eternal midcarder, and The Streak is a cherished institution? Choke on that, slap nuts!

If that sounds too far-fetched, even for a satirical list article, just remember that Russo once valued Jarrett above Hulk Hogan in 2000 - months after it became apparent that Jarrett was ratings poison.
