Jarrett started his WWE career in late 1993, where he revealed that he had dreams bigger than the ring: He wanted to use sports-entertainment to make himself the biggest star in country music.

Before his WWE stint, Double J worked with Music City and claimed that the he wanted to use WWE as a platform to stardom in the ring and on the stage.

Again after a two year stay in WWE, Jarrett jumped back to WCW in 1999 and found his greatest success as a pro-wrestler when he defeated fellow Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page in the final of a six-man tournament to win the vacant WCW World Championship.

Jarrett won the WCW World Title three more times before the company was purchased by WWE in 2001. After which he continued to compete around the world and began to promote shows like TNA that gave Superstars like AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Eric Young their first major exposure.
