KABONG!!! That's the sound of success to Jeff Jarrett
as he ends another match with a guitar shot to his opponent's cranium.
It's sweet music to the self-proclaimed "Chosen One," but an annoying racket for his enemies.
Saying he has "all the stroke," Jarrett boasts to being power player
both backstage and in the squared circle.
As a major leader of WCW's New Blood, Jeff continues to play all the right chords.
