[1996-09-23-WWF-Raw] 'Double J' Exposed

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Talk about a burial! This is Vince himself narrating the video:

 

"The date was July 23, 1995, the setting Nashville, Tennessee. And this was supposed to be the greatest moment of Double J Jeff Jarrett's life. A triumphant return to Music City, his hometown, the same town which had rejected him both as a WWF superstar and as an entertainer."

 

He then calls him country music's version of Milli Vanilli.

 

He promises the man who really sang "With My Baby Tonight", the REAL Double J, will be on RAW next week.

Something fake happened on a wrestling show!

Hey, it's only 14 months too late to pay this angle off. Because two impostors on one show weren't enough.

Because two impostors on one show weren't enough.

 

Yeah, it's pretty amazing when you think about it. Fake Razor Ramon, Fake Diesel and the "Real" Double J, all in the same week. WWF was and came off sooo desperate.

There was one point during all of this when Jarrett was on both shows at the exact same time.

[El-P]

But not in a cool way like Rude was !

[soup23]

Jarrett gets buried and the truth is coming out that he didn't really sing with my baby tonight.

[Exposer]

This is incredibly dumb. Forget the pettiness of it all, how about pointing out how stupid it is to promote the opposition's talent. This is way worse than the Fake Razor & Fake Diesel stuff because at least JR's promo is awesome.

Man this is ten times more embarrassing for WWF than the worst Billionaire Ted vignette.

What was this meant to accomplish?  And I say that for the entirety of this Raw.  Not only did they do very little of substance that helped their image (the IC match was the only good thing about this), but they muddied the waters in every match with a guest commentator who had nothing to do with it advancing some other storyline.
