Jarrett started his interest in athletic activities with basketball while he was in high school. During this time his father was the owner of the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA), and soon Jarrett would find work as a referee and then as a wrestler.

In 1993, he became a part of the World Wrestling Federation as Double J, and acted with the gimmick of a country music singer. His first pay-per-view with the company was in the 1994 Royal Rumble and eventually he would start winning matches. He had feuds with wrestlers such as Scott Hall, Shawn Michaels but eventually left the company due to contract disputes. After WWF, he signed with WCW for a one year contract, and became the United States Heavyweight Champion after defeating Dean Malenko. He then went back to the WWF after his contract expired. During his return to the WWF he reprised his country singer gimmick, carrying and using a guitar to occasionally hit other competitors with it. He also had notable feuds with D-X and even had a tag team run with Owen Hart before his tragic accident.
