10 WWE Wrestlers Vince McMahon Couldn't Control

10. Jeff Jarrett

Vince McMahon absolutely loathes Jeff Jarrett. The Global Force Wrestling founder hasn't done business with WWE's Chairman since the '90s, but their mutual disdain is such that McMahon went out of his way to fire Jeff in the most public way imaginable following WWE's 2001 purchase of WCW.

In an open mockery of the former WCW Champion, McMahon stated that 'Double J' would now be known as "Capital G, Double-O, Double-N, Double-E - GOONNEE!", showcasing not only his less-than-impeccable spelling skills, but a staggering level of hatred for a former employee.

The ill will comes from issues that arose during Jarrett's two WWE runs. His first spell ended in a contract dispute in 1996, but Vince brought him back from a short stint in WCW the following year. Unfortunately for Vince, this run ended in even sourer circumstances as Jarrett successfully extorted the WWE Chairman for $300,000 to prevent him from leaving the company with the Intercontinental Championship belt.

It's often said that Jarrett thought he was a far bigger star than he actually was, which helps explain these acts of rebellion. Regardless of his supposedly inflated self-opinion, it's clear McMahon couldn't handle him for extended periods.
