10 Classic Jeff Jarrett Matches You Need To See
1. Vs Shawn Michaels (WWE In Your House 2)
Jeff Jarrett and Shawn Michaels made a huge case for their In Your House 2 battle being the best straight WWE singles match of the decade when they tore the house down in July 1995.
Only Davey Boy Smith and The Hart Brothers could really argue the toss with their own efforts at the point, and at least 'HBK' and 'Double J' hadn't suffered some stinking stretches from Stu in order to craft a classic.
Shawn Michaels was rapidly reaching Ric Flair's 'broomstick' standard by the time he took back the Intercontinental Title underneath his buddy 'Big Daddy Cool', but Jeff was no slouch when it came to keeping pace with his dynamic foe. Meshing a Memphis main event with the poise and polish of the the New Generation, Jarrett and Michaels assembled arguably the most beautiful clash of styles in company history.
Cagey and vicious in place of the sneaky coward he normally portrayed, Jeff's heat segment following a terrifying bump to the floor from Michaels was a masterclass. Utterly electric for Shawn's recovery, the crowd's begrudging respect for the Champion's musical talent earlier in the show dissolved as he dissected the flamboyant face. Mangled interference from The Roadie at the finish even used the match to feed effortlessly into Jarrett's next big feud, though he'd sadly elect to exit before ever pretending to sing another note.
