So many people can play heel or face good, doesnt make them one of the Greats. And him being a "pretty good wrestler" brings him nowhere. Sure, he was TNA's Top Dog, but at that time, they had no Big Names.
Sting? Jeff Hardy? Raven? Christian?

If any of the guys he's won tag titles with mean anything to you(excl. Owen, Lawler, Von Erich, and Mil Mascaras) I'll be REALLY surprised.
Jeff was an amazing champion in TNA for one reason, he was arguably the best heel in wrestling at the time. If you watched TNA when he and Raven faced for the NWA title and JJ won, you HATED him SO much. To you he's probably nothing, you like Jeff Hardy. Not to be a dick, but he doesn't come close to the talent Jarrett has. Jeff Hardy can be entertaining, but in terms of actual talent in pro wrestling, he doesn't have it compared to Jarrett.
If people actually look back at Double J's career, he is an all time great. At least to me. I remember watching him before I watched and enjoyed Benoit.
