With a legacy as complex as Triple H's in WWE, Jeff Jarrett was so often champion of the promotion he had total control of that the true quality of his many and lengthy reigns became almost impossible to subjectively assess.

He was there because he decided it, not because there was any obvious call to make it so. That said, he did at least generate heat, his work was never awful even if the booking was, and somebody needed to be the cornerstone of the company that so often felt short on a foundational level. He at least knew his level - right as Kurt Angle arrived, he permanently removed himself from the top of the card.
