#4. Former WWE Superstar Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett was blackballed by WWE for several years after the former star held Vince McMahon to ransom when it came to the Intercontinental Championship.

Jarrett's contract expired the day before the company's No Mercy pay-per-view in 1999 and the star was well within his rights to leave the company with the title. Of course, McMahon didn't want this so Jarrett said he would drop the title to Chyna if the company reportedly paid him around £300k.

Jarrett then went on to work for WCW and went on to help his father build the IMPACT Wrestling empire where he became one of the company's biggest stars.

It came as a huge surprise when Jarrett was revealed as one of the names that made up the 2018 Hall of Fame class, but it appears that the bad blood between McMahon and Jarrett has been cleared up.

Jarrett even returned to WWE and worked backstage for several months before he was released from the company as part of their recent budget cuts.
