DVD Reviews of TNA: Jeff Jarrett: King Of The Mountain
DVD Review: "Double J"..."5th Horsemen"..."Chosen One"..."King Of The Mountain"...Welcome To Planet Jarrett!
Summary: 4 Stars
Now I'll be honest from the start in that I know I'm really late to review this DVD set but that's strickly because I was never a huge fan of Jeff Jarrett & always felt like Jeff Jarrett was just one of those guys who I just never saw as a main event top guy who I would go pay my money to see either has a babyface or heel. He's had some average to good matches but none I would concider "great", "classic", "memorable" or standout in my head stricktly for anything Jarrett himself did. So this is a release that I wasn't in a hurry to get but I got it as a gift & I have to say that after hearing Jarrett's story told that I've gained more respect for him both in the ring & outside of it.
The setup is very similar to how TNA did Kurt Angle's in that each chapter of Jarrett's story was split inbetween each match with each disc centered around different periods of his life with the first disc talking about his early life & Memphis wrestling days, disc two talking about his career in both WWE & WCW, and the final two on his current stage in TNA. You'll hear from various TNA talents yhroughout the documentry such as wrestlers (Sting, B.G. James, Scott Steiner, Mick Foley, Booker T), other on-air talent (Jeremy Borash, Jim Cornette, Mike Tenay), those working behind the scenes (Dutch Mantell, Terry Taylor, Harris Brothers, Bob Ryder) and personal friends like his best friend & Mark Miller from the country music group Sawyer Brown. You also get various highlights of memorable moments from Jarrett's TNA like his interaction with Toby Keith from the debut show, his fight with the Tennessee Titans, the incident at Hogan's press conference in Japan, his post-match Bound For Glory '06 interview, the Slammiversary tribute to his wife Jill, and his return to TNA on "Impact" before Lockdown '07.
The program started out talking about growing up & getting into sports like basketball along with his wrestling "family tree" & the stars of the past who influenced him. His beginnings in the Memphis CWA territory was covered with Cornette explaining how every positive he had was also a negative before going into his first ever angle in wrestling and who he felt were his "teachers" in the ring. Jarrett's thoughts on the end of the territory system & his international travels are discussed before going into the story of how he almost ended up in WCW before going to WWE, creating the "Double J" character, meet a friend for life in B.G. James, and how that ended up going bad for himself. The story of how he met his wife Jill & what happened when they found out she first had breast cancer. Jumping to WCW & seeing all the mistakes being made on how the company was ran was talked about next before going into his return to WWE and the story behind his infamous shoot promo his first night on TV that the backstage talent didn't like. One of the highlights of this DVD came next as Jarrett told his story of the infamous backstage story of what happened between himself, Jim Ross, and Vince McMahon at No Mercy '99 on Jarrett's last night with the WWE when he was the Intercontinental Champion...who's contract expired the night before & was already set to debut on Nitro the next night. His return to WCW and the constant problems there were discussed by him & former WCW members before briefly talking about the Bash At The Beach '00 incident. The story behind Vince McMahon "not paying a dime" for WCW when he brought it & Jarrett's thoughts about the first segment on RAW Vince telling people that Jarrett was "G-double O-N-double E." The next big highlight of this DVD came next when he along with other like Foley & Cornette recalled everything that happened the night Owen Hart died at Over The Edge '99 (to the point where Jarrett to this date never looked back at his pre-match interview for his match) & the impact backstage of the message he did the next night on the tribute show. The story of how TNA came together from the "Summer Of No Worries" to Jarrett working the independent scene & international tours to actually putting everything together along with memories of the problems that happened on the first show. Jarrett's thoughts on people calling TNA an "independent promotion" & the influx of the Carter family into TNA are discussed before going into another big part of this DVD which was the story of Jill "winning the race that matters" when she lost her battle to cancer. The program ended on Jarrett talking about milestones of his career, the future for TNA, and his favorite memories.
Other matches include his first NWA Championship win against Ron Killings, an eight man tag with Dusty Rhodes & Road Warriors vs. Triple X & Vince Russo, Jim Duggan & Rick Steiner. You also get archived video footage from his days in the CWA promotion in Memphis such as his first TV appereance as a referee, one of his first TV matches against Tony Falk, current TNA spanish commentator Hector Guerrero, a title match against Jerry Lawler, and a tag match with Bill Dundee vs. Gary Young & Mick Foley as Cactus Jack Manson.
Matches Include:
vs. Scott Hall - This was an "unofficial" stretcher match as Hall brought a stretcher down to ringside (one of those "army" ones, not the metal ones you see an a regular ambulance). This was a brawl right from the start that worked it's way all the way through backstage (with Jerry Lynn getting nailed in the process) & the crowd before settling down in the ring using the stretcher was a weapon various times by both men before tons of interference by Ron Killings, Monty Brown, Jerry Lynn getting a reciept from earlier, A.J. Styles, The New Church, and Ricky Steamboat. This was a good brawl between both men.
NWA Championship Match vs. A.J. Styles - This was a match that went back & forth with both men trying to match each other's different wrestling styles. You see appearences from Larry Zbyszko, J.J. Dillion, Dusty Rhodes, Vader, Harris Brothers, and Sonny Siaki doing something that turned A.J. Styles babyface in the middle of the match. A nice match overall.
NWA Championship Match vs. Raven - This was the most anticipated match in the first year of TNA to the point where they had to turn away many people from the Asylum & it should also be noted that the women in Raven's corner during this match is the woman now known as Mickie James in WWE. Both men got busted open in the opening minutes as this went from a normal wrestling into a brawl with tables being broken & both on the giving & recieving end of low-blows. Appearences from the ECW reunion faction of "Extreme Revolution", Sabu, and the S.E.X. stable just added to the wildness of this brawl. This was a wild match that had a mix of everything for everyone.
(Nevermore: Best Of Raven, History Of TNA: Year One)
w/Sting vs. Sean Waltman & A.J. Styles - This was from TNA's first anniversary show & it should be noted that Vince Russo (who was feuding with Jarrett) was on commentary so there is a bunch of censoring because Russo couldn't control his language. This was just a wild brawl between all four men that saw interference from Shane Douglas & Raven & Russo himself along with Sting's baseball bat coming into play various times. Again, a wild but fun brawl.
(Sting: Return Of An Icon)
vs. NWA Champion A.J. Styles - The feud between these two was so intense that Erik Watts & Don Callous had to seperate them before the bell rang. This was another match that developed into a brawl that went through the crowd with the audience with the crowd getting behind A.J. more & more as the match progressed. In the end however, Jarrett captured his second NWA Championship.
NWA Championship Match vs. Chris Harris - This match was all about one thing, "was Chris Harris ready" to compete at the main event level? Jarrett was always one step ahead of Harris in the opening minutes of the match before Storm stepped his game up & brought the fight to Jarrett including doing a clothesline off the top rope into Jarrett who was in the front row. Harris kept coming so close with Raven & Harris tag team partner, James Storm getting involved. Good competitive match between those two.
King Of The Mountain Match vs. NWA Champion Ron Killings vs. Chris Harris vs. A.J. Styles vs. Raven - Now for those who never seen a the King Of The Mountain match before, it's a ladder match in reverse with alot of stipulations. To win the match, you have to use the ladder hang the belt instead of using the ladder to pull it down like a normal ladder match. However before you can hang the belt, you have to qualify to do it by scoring a pinfall/submission over one of the other competitors...and the person who loses that fall goes into a penality box for 2 mins. Yeah, sounds real gimmicky but when you watch it come together...it's a real easy match to follow. This match had non-stop action with plenty of table spots & various stories being played like how Jarrett & Raven decided to form an alliance, Harris & Raven brawling when stuck in the penality cage together, while Russo was the belt holder but didn't want to give it to Jarrett. This was the match where Jarrett earned the nickname that has stuck with him to his day, "The King Of The Mountain,"
Gauntlet for Gold Match vs. 3 Live Kru vs. Elite Guart vs Ken Shamrock - It should be noted that the member of the Elite Guard faction known as Hernandez is the same Hernandez who would later be better known as the partner of Homicide in L.A.X. This was your average gauntlet match between all men involved where you get eliminated by going over the top rope with the final two facing off in a normal wrestling match. The highlight of his match was Ken Shamrock going absolutely crazy to the point where he went after Don West & almost scared him to death before taking out the security guards & becoming the difference maker in the match.
NWA Championship/Ladder Match vs. Jeff Hardy - There was some good spots as Hardy is great at hardcore type matches but it seemed like everyone was more concerned about putting over the reunion of Scott Hall & Kevin Nash than having a great match as Scott Hall just kept interfearing & the ending was weak as Nash came out with gutairs for him & Hall and all three guys hit Hardy with it to cost him the match.
Victory Road '04
(Enigma: Best Of Jeff Hardy)
NWA Championship Match vs. Monty Brown - This was the title shot that Monty Brown wanted for a long time however his ribs were taped up from an attack by Abyss earlier in the show. Brown dominated with his power early while Jarrett got the advantage by working on Brown's ribs but Monty kept coming & coming until Scott Hall became the difference maker once again.
"Impact" Dec. '04
NWA Championship Match vs. Kevin Nash - The "Kings Of Wrestling" was split apart by greed & ego resulting in this main event. Nash used his power early as this went into a brawl through the crowd to the outside of the studio before settling back into the ring with Jarrett gaining the advantage by working on Nash's knees. There was a rule set in place before the match that if Jeff Jarrett used a gutair, he would lose the NWA Championship so Jarrett found a creative (or comical) way to get around that rule. With appearences from the former Billy Gunn (Kip James...who had a confrontation with his former New Age Outlaw partner & DX member B.G. James) & another former DX member in Sean Waltman...this was a better match than you would have expected going in.
Against All Odds '05
NWA Championship Match vs. Rhino - This match was the sterotypical formula of a Jarrett match. Wrestling, a big brawl throughout the arena, and an overload of outside interference. The match with the wrestling & brawling was actually very well but the match took a turn for the worst when ALL members of Team Canada kept interfearing in the end to cost Rhino the match.
Turning Point '05
(Best Of Bloodiest Brawls: Scars & Stitches)
w/Abyss & America's Most Wanted vs. Rhino, Ron Killings, Team 3D - This was a wild eight man tag that just went all over the place & settled into a good tag team match with even Jackie Gayda & Gail Kim getting involved at one point.
Destination X '06
Lethal Lockdown Match w/Scott Steiner & America's Most Wanted vs. Sting, AJ Styles, Ron Killings, Rhino - This was the first Lethal Lockdown match where they had the top of the cage lowered onto the Six Sides Of Steel after everyone entered. Team Jarrett always had the one man advantage (notice how in War Games history, the good guy team NEVER won the backstage coin toss?) The typical formula of the faces fighting from behind against the heels but once Sting enters, the top of the cage lowers & that's where the match gets interesting as AJ Styles & James Storm go to the top & AJ hits a splash from the celing of the room through Storm & a table.
Lockdown '06
(Best Of Bloodiest Brawls: Scars & Stitches)
w/Scott Steiner vs. Sting & Samoa Joe - The main story here was if Samoa Joe can hang with the wrestlers outside of the X division & be concidered a legit main eventer and he proved himself during this match. Sting knows exactly what to do to get the crowd to go wild, Jarrett & Steiner were great as heels plus did a good tag team match. It didn't come close to the tag team title match but it was still a good showing from all four guys.
Sacrifice '06
(Sting: Return Of An Icon)
King Of The Mountain Match vs. NWA Champion Christian Cage vs. Abyss vs. Ron Killings vs. Sting - Just like the other King Of The Mountain match on this set, this was something to watch as you see multiple stories being told at different times like if Sting really wants to be World Title or if he just doesn't want Jarrett to have it & the tension between Sting & Christian. However, the ending really overshadowed the whole match as they were tryin' to do a "Montreal Screwjob" ending with Jarrett (HBK), Larry Zbyszko (McMahon), and Earl Hebner. You could see how the TNA fans felt about this match & the idea of Jarrett having ANOTHER title reign at the end.
Slammiversary '06
Fans Revenge Lumberjack Match vs. Samoa Joe - This was nothing more than a comedic gimmick match that went a little over 10 mins. with Jarrett getting in just as much offense as Joe. The ending of Joe choking out Jarrett was something everyone expected but it didn't matter in the end as this was a non-title match, everyone (including TNA itself) looked past this match & was more focused on Sting's match the next month, and no body cared that he walked out with title belt after the announcement at the end of the show...which was Kurt Angle joining TNA.
No Surrender '06
NWA Championship Match vs. Sting with Kurt Angle as Special Enforcer - This wasn't their "paint by numbers" match like they had a Hard Justice but again, it wasn't the best match to end the show on. This was the conclusion of the 10 month storyline between Sting & Jarrett. Sting had a new look & looked in the best shape in years (include before WCW closed). This match was better than you would expected it to be but didn't live up to the hype of being "the main event of the biggest show of the year." The match delievered in the end & give the fans what they wanted to see: Sting winning the title & removing Jarrett from TNA.
Bound For Glory '06
Lethal Lockdown Match w/Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Rhino, Sting vs. Christian Cage, AJ Styles, Scott Steiner, Abyss, Tomko - These Lethal Lockdown matches get better each year with this one being the best one yet as it told multiple stories thoughout the match along with memorable moments that topped the previous years. One funny moment to watch for it Jarrett's entrance where the pyro completely destroys his gutiar before he even walks down the ramp. Other memorable moments include Scott Steiner breaking out the Frankensteiner for the first time in a long time, Kurt Angle throwing AJ Styles off the top of the cage onto other wrestlers on the floor, Rhino goring Tomko out of the cage to the floor, Cage's double chokeslam onto tacks, Abyss getting hit in the head with a gutiar full of thumbtacks, the unfolding of the "can you trust Jarrett" angle, and for the old school fans...Harley Race (the gatekeeper at ringside) knocking out Jim Mitchell. Awesome main event.
Lockdown '07
vs. Kurt Angle with Mick Foley as Special Enforcer - After not wrestling (with the exception of two matches) in 2 years, Jarrett surely didn't show any ring rust here as they delievered a great wrestling match that went back & forth between both men with Mick Foley & "Mr. Socko" only becoming a factor in the end. Great wrestling match that delievered.
Bound For Glory '08
In the end, the documentry itself gave me a few found respect for Jarrett just knowing his history along with his trials & tribulations in this business both as a talent and operating his own promotion. However, the matches themselves I will say were entertaining for the most part but just furthered my thoughts in that if you see one Jarrett match, you've seen them all as a high majority of them saw brawling & fighting through the crowd & interference from others but at least TNA put a different variety of matches on here throughout their entire history so the matches don't look repetative so in the end, this is something I would recommend for a purchase.
