Jeff Jarrett has had similar gimmicks throughout his career, but when he first established his "Double J" character, his attire was far more flamboyant than what it was later in his career, especially with guitar strings coming down from his neck to his torso. Upon his return to WWE, the promotion had him wear the attire again, which got quite the reaction backstage.

"'And they said, 'Yeah, we're gonna go get the hat out and get it back working.' And I went, 'Oh, yeah, oh, boy, it is full-on Eric Bischoff's favorite outfit of mine.' So, that was ... people were like, 'You wore that?'" 

The outfit also notably included a hat with lights, and according to Jarrett, not only did WWE have one of the originals, but managed to get it working for his entrance. "That hat was literally 25 years or however old it was, and they got it back working."

However, the outfit also caught Vince McMahon's reaction, which Jarrett claims is something he'll never forget. "I'll never forget, in Gorilla [Position], Vince was like, 'What in the hell?' We had a good laugh. Triple H, too. Folk in Gorilla were like –- when I came down the steps — 'Yeah, he's definitely all in for this Double J character."
