That Shawn Michaels/Jeff Jarrett match from In Your House

According to Road Dogg they left over money. Jarrett was mad that guys like Nash, Sid and Shawn were making a lot more money when him and Roadie were doing more work on a tougher schedule. Roadie quit out of loyalty to Jarrett but after a few months in the USWA he regretted quitting. Especially after Jarrett returned to the WWF.

Wait, didn't Jarrett go to WCW about a year after the Michaels match? I don't remember him resurfacing in the WWF during 2005-07 until he later came back with his "Aztec" tights.

Oh, and speaking of the "knee injury": Has anyone other than Killer Kowalski said that Michaels went to rehab with the knee injury as the cover story as opposed to it being an excuse not to job? He said at the time in Wrestling Then & Now that he was backstage at the show (which makes sense, since they were in Lowell, MA), saw Shawn skipping around, clearly without a major knee problem at the moment, and was told that Shawn was going to rehab.

 

I thought that was pretty much the worst kept secret of the era considering Shawn didn't even try to convince anyone the knee injury wasn't bullshit, and that his drug usage was well on its way to becoming legendary. In fact wasn't that one of the things that drove Bret crazy, how everyone just seemed to accept the official story as true?
