Jeff had the most heat around the time he left, No Mercy. If he would've stuck around I could have seen him getting a little higher on the card. But with Rock, Austin, and Triple H at the top I would likely struggle seeing him as equal. His character is like The Miz during his big championship run in a way.
When he returned at the end of 97 again The Undertaker at In Your House DX, that was the time to do something bigger. I remember hearing Jarrett was returning there I think in a WWF magazine and I was pumped. But they gave a bullshit finish and no program ever started.
