[10.0] "Arguably the smartest promoter of all time, broke away from Nick Gulas and created one of the most successful promotions in North America with Jerry Lawler. He was held in such high esteem by WWF/E that they put him on the payroll as a "consultant" despite him not really working with them, also during the infamous steroid trial, Vince hand picked Jerry to take over control of the company if he went to jail."

[10.0] "One of the greatest promoters & bookers in pro wrestling history. He was so smart that his territory was virtually the last one to stay alive for the longest time, thanks to his genius."

[10.0] "Not much to say, other than that I believe Jerry Jarrett to be the greatest wrestling promoter in the history of the medium. A 10."

[10.0] "One of the greatest promoter of all time, and one of the real genius in the wrestling buisness. It's a shame people know him only because of Prichard's bitterness, well you know."

[9.0] "Arguably one of the greatest promoters and bookers in the history of professional wrestling. When you think of guys who had a mind for the business, he has to be one of the first or second names that come to mind. Also, Bruce Pritchard's impression of Jerry Jarret absolutely kills me, definitely recommend listening to it on Something To Wrestle on YouTube."

[8.0] "How is one of the successful promoters and bookers in wrestling history getting such a low rating? Are people really that ignorant of history?"
