Mr. Fuji: Ranking His WWE Managerial Clients From Worst To Best

15. Jeff Jarrett

The lower end of Mr. Fuji’s managerial success ladder is rife with brief alliances with wrestlers who were either too early in their career for their relationship to be deemed a success, or those doomed to fail from the start.

Jeff Jarrett falls into the former category. His allegiance with Mr. Fuji was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it affair that took place long before Jarrett had established himself in WWE’s upper-midcard, and primarily through his run in the 1994 King of the Ring tournament.

Few people even remember that Jarrett and Fuji were allies in the first place, but Fuji aided Jarrett to a first-round victory over Lex Luger. Crush, another client of Fuji’s, attacked Luger while the referee wasn’t looking, and brawled with him all the way to the backstage area to force a count-out victory.

Jarrett was eliminated in the quarterfinals, and the “odd couple” pairing ceased to exist afterwards. In reality, Fuji’s brief sojourn with Jarrett was only meant as a means of getting at Luger, whom Crush was feuding with at the time.
