10 Main Event Superstars That Failed In WWE

10. Jeff Jarrett

That's J-E-Double F. J-A-Double R-E-Double T. Upon his 1993 arrival to the World Wrestling Federation, Jarrett was a young, up-and-comer who happened to be the son of famed Memphis promoter, Jerry Jarrett. Jeff was given a grand welcome to the WWF with multiple vignettes hyping his debut leading many fans to expect Jeff to rise high in the New Generation. While Jarrett did capture his first Intercontinental Championship in January of 1995, he would leave the company six months later, putting an end to his most successful stint with the company. Jarrett would be in-and-out of the company for the next several years before a taboo decision cost him his WWE future. Jeff would go on to capture multiple world championships with WCW, and later with TNA as he was the face of the brand (and partial owner) for many years. It's clear that Jeff had enough talent and potential for those in charge to entrust him with carrying their match cards... just not in WWE. The company did consider him for the main event several times, but those discussions didn't last very long. The reason for Jarrett's lack of big-time success in WWE is unclear. Whether it had to do with being the son of another promoter, a perceived disappointment or lack of ability, backstage politics, or personal attitude, Jarrett did find moderate success in New York, but compared to what he would do elsewhere along with the expectations that surrounded him his entire career, it's safe to say that he ultimately failed on the big stage.
