Where does Jeff Jarrett rank among the best heels of the past 15 years?
In all of wrestling , I would honestly put him at the top ( with JBL a close second)
He was a fantastic heel, cheated when he had to, but could win clean,was a very strong dominant champion, I don't think I remember anyone being as hated as he was in TNA history, or booed as much he was when he won the title at KOTM 2006. Plus the fans really enjoyed beating him up when he was facing Samoa Joe ( it was PPV before he had to face Sting and the fans surrounded the ring)

more like a nonsensically and lazily portrayed heel, just like HHH and JBL

I'm not sure that I'd have him any higher than close to 20th. That said, my timing could be off on some of the following guys as to whether or not they had their heel time within the last 15 years, but it'd be close on just about all of them. In no particular order, these are the ones that stood out to me: JBL, Edge, Randy Orton, Kane, Jericho, Taker, Austin, Angle, Rock, Curt Hennig, HHH & HBK from early DX days, Hall & Nash nWo, Vince McMahon character, Hollywood Hogan, CM Punk, Bischoff, Lesnar, Kong/Kharma.
I guess if I look at the past roughly 15 years, you get the tail end of WCW where the most memorable thing Jarrett did then was lie down for Hogan IMO. His early TNA work was good but I don't know that it was among the best of the past 15 years. Just my opinion though. Cheers!

I thought he was pretty great around the time (before, during and after) he was doing the short lived "MMA gimmick." One of my favorites of all time. I would honestly say top 5 HEELS...not wrestlers, but heels.
I didn't care for ANYTHING he did before then (WWF, WCW.)
I am not familiar with the early days of TNA(NWA era) so I can't comment on those.

I would say in wrestling history definitely top 20 but in TNA history he has to be top 5

The thing with JJ is he's a dick in real life. So his character is portraying his real life attitude
The only time he mattered was when his buddy Russo based everything around him
As for top heels
He would be lucky to make my top 20
Specially over 15 years

I never was a big fan of his. He made a decently convincing heel but I wouldn't place him in my top 10. When I think of great heels I think of people like Flair, Jerry Lawler, Ted Dibiasse Sr, Bad News Brown, Owen Hart and people like that who worked hard to get under your skin.

Or is it because the whole Angle thing? If thats it, get over it. We have no idea what went down there. For all we know, Karen/Kurt couldve been done for years but they were just staying together for business/kids.
IMO Jarrett is the greatest heel in tna history. Slightly better than Roode. His run from 04-06 was some great stuff. He was booking was awesome. I remember every main event with him in it had the whole crowd on the edge of there seat. Dude was just great.
Hows he a dick? Ive always heard that he seemed like a pretty nice guy. The way he fucked the wwf over in 1999 was pure gold and taught them a lesson.

I remember a TNA show when Double J beat a woman from the crowd with a strap. Does anybody remember when it was?
