Thoughts on Jeff Jarrett getting inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?
He’s one of the most controversial figures in the business solely based on how he quit WWE back in 1999: essentially, he held the Intercontinental Championship, and he was no longer under contract; he planned to go to WCW with it and use it to defame the WWE in a similar way to how Alundra Blayze did it a few years earlier with the women’s title. Jarrett forced Vince to pay him a few hundred grand to drop the belt. WCW went out of business in 2001, Vince bought the company, and publically fires Jeff Jarrett.
Old news, right? Through his father, Jeff Jarrett was part owner of a another wrestling promotion in the US, several WWE talents used to work for it and had legal and personal strife with Jarrett; the two major issues that have been pointed out: he slept with Kurt Angle’s ex-wife, and attempted legal action against Matt Hardy for control of certain intellectual property, such as his “broken” gimmick which he created on his own.

I was surprised when I saw the news. I literally thought it was a joke at first. I wonder who'll induct him.
