9 Real-life feuds between Vince McMahon and WWE legends

#7 Jeff Jarrett

Jeff Jarrett has had a tumultuous relationship with WWE and Vince McMahon. Jarrett wrestled with WWE in the early 90s before briefly working with WCW and then returning in 1997. Two years later in 1999, Vince McMahon and Jarrett tussled over the latter's contract payoffs and he eventually left, and once again joined WCW.

But, unfortunately for Jarrett, WCW was bought by WWE two years later in 2001, and Jarrett was publicly fired by Vince McMahon on RAW.

Jarrett then went on to establish his own promotion, TNA, which went on to become WWE's major rival for the next decade or so. He surprisingly returned to WWE in 2018, got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and in 2019 was added as a backstage producer.

Jarrett spoke about the contract issues that he had with WWE in the 90s, which led to his exit from the company:

“Here’s what everybody misses. The real crux of the story is that I was a talent in 1999 and, quote-en-quote, I held Vince [McMahon] up for money, is that what you’re alluding to? But when you really drill that down and you really think about this – employee and employer. If he didn’t want to pay me, he didn’t have to pay me a cent."

Jarrett revealed that his relationship with McMahon is now mended:

"For me to connect with him on the stage where I got to do the speech -- it was surreal. It was quick, but a real special conversation... a real personal conversation we had."
