Outlook - In his mid-30s and with limited options, who knows what the future holds for Jeff Jarrett. His departure from the WWF was basically him, the IC champion, forcing them to drop the title at a PPV a day after his contract was up. The thousands he got for that one match, which wasn't even that good, has put him on the bad side of Vince MacMahon, whose elephant-like memory can be the end-all for wrestlers these days. In his favor though, is the fact that Jarrett is one of the most solid workers in the US today. He has been the crown jewel of the WWA and now NWA-TNA, which are ambitious ventures that at least keep him active.
