You're RE-HIRED: 10 wrestlers welcomed back to the WWE after being fired/released

#6 Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett had a relatively successful career

A third-generation wrestler who somehow always manages to stay relevant to the business despite his average skills and appearance, Jeff Jarrett has probably been on a tv screen in some part of the world since the late 80s.

Jarrett joined the WWE in 1992 with a country western gimmick. He would go on to hold the IC title and feud with main event wrestlers like Diesel.

Why he was fired: Jarrett refused to re-sign with the WWE in 1996 despite a verbal agreement that he would do so. He ended up in WCW, where he feuded with Ric Flair and others. But then Jarrett's contract was up, and he re-signed with WWE.

Why he was re-hired: WWE was losing the Monday Night War and was desperate to show former talents that they would be welcomed back into the fold with open arms. Jarrett soon cut his hair and gained a new catchphrase-- "Don't Pi** me off" -- and again won the IC title.

How he's doing now: Depends on who you ask. Jarrett's GFW has now merged with Dixie Carter's Impact wrestling. Even though he is no longer with the company, he will likely never be re-hired by WWE, due to his holding the IC belt hostage.

Jarrett was still IC champ when his contract expired and famously held up Vince McMahon for a six-figure bonus to drop the belt before heading BACK to WCW during their fading years. Don't expect to see Jarrett in a WWE ring anytime soon.
