Fredrick Martin "Marty" Jannetty (born February 3, 1960)[4] is an American retiredprofessional wrestler who has worked for promotions including theWorld Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E), theAmerican Wrestling Association (AWA),World Championship Wrestling (WCW) andExtreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and has won a total of 20 championships.

Jannetty is widely known for his tenure as half of tag teamThe Rockers, in which he partnered withShawn Michaels. The duo originally found success during the mid-to-late 1980s under the moniker of The Midnight Rockers, becomingtwo-timeAWA World Tag Team Champions and winning various regional titles. They became one of the foremost teams of the WWF's "Golden Age", headlining multiple events. The Rockers held theWWF World Tag Team Championship in late 1990, but their reign was voided.

After splitting from Michaels in early 1992, Jannetty became aone-timeWWF Intercontinental Champion and aone-timeWWF World Tag Team Champion with the1-2-3 Kid. He competed in multipleworld championship matches between ECW and the WWF from 1995–1996, but Jannetty's star faded thereafter, and he was largely used asenhancement talent during a late 1990s run in WCW. He made sporadic appearances for WWE during the latter half of the 2000s (including a brief 2005 reunion with Michaels), and has remained a challenger for titles on theindependent circuit.

Although his career was continually halted by personal issues and his achievements overshadowed by those of Michaels, Jannetty was described byTalksport as being "as smooth and jaw-dropping as his partner, with a drop-kick to rival any".[5]

Jannetty was an amateur wrestler in the state of Georgia, qualifying for the state championship tournament his last three years of high school. He also boxed while in high school, and won many Golden Gloves events. After high school, he wrestled at Chattahoochee Valley Community College in Alabama where he was a two time NJCAA qualifier.

He then went toAuburn University to wrestle, but the school dropped its wrestling program. He thought about trying football, but was instead coaxed into professional wrestling by Jerry Oates, who trained him.

Early career (1983–1984)

[edit]

Jannetty began his wrestling career in September 1983 forMid-South Wrestling teaming with trainer Jerry Oates (as "cousin" Marty Oates), until November. After leaving Mid-South, he would wrestle under his real name forSoutheastern Championship Wrestling, where he would wrestle the likes ofSuper Olympia andMr. Olympia.

Central States Wrestling (1984–1986)

[edit]
Main article:The Midnight Rockers

In March 1984, Jannetty wrestled for theNational Wrestling Alliance affiliateCentral States Wrestling. He wrestled in singles and tag team competition with various partners, includingBulldog Bob Brown, Dave Peterson andTommy Rogers (as The Uptown Boys) until joining forces with fellow rookieShawn Michaels in late 1985. The two teamed asThe Midnight Rockers and quickly won theNWA Central States Tag Team Championship fromThe Batten Twins. Jannetty wrestledRic Flair for theNWA World Heavyweight Championship during his time in CSW.

In the summer of 1985, Jannetty wrestled his first Japanese tour forAll Japan Pro Wrestling, where his biggest match there was a loss toTiger Mask II on September 5.

American Wrestling Association (1986–1988)

[edit]

In 1986, the duo left CSW for theAmerican Wrestling Association.[6] In the AWA, Jannetty and Michaels quickly built a reputation as a talented tag team, performing many acrobatic moves in tandem and electrifying crowds with their athleticism. The two won theWorld Tag Team Championship twice, first defeatingBuddy Rose andDoug Somers and thenThe Midnight Express for their second and final reign. They also won theSouthern Tag Team Championship twice after defeating theRock 'n' Roll RPMs on two separate occasions before jumping to theWorld Wrestling Federation in 1988.[7]

World Wrestling Federation (1988–1992)

[edit]

The Rockers (1988–1992)

[edit]
Main article:The Rockers
Jannetty during his time in The Rockers withShawn Michaels in WWF

Now called simplyThe Rockers, Jannetty and Michaels' popularity carried over from their stint in the AWA and the team was often called "tag team specialists" by commentatorGorilla Monsoon. They made their WWF debut at a television taping on June 18, 1988,[8] and they faced tag teams such asDemolition,The Hart Foundation, and theBrain Busters for the rest of 1989. Duos including The Rockers routinely headlinedhouse show events during this era of tag team wrestling.[9]

Despite their previous success, The Rockers never officially won theTag Team Championship during their three-year run together in the WWF.[10] On October 30, 1990, The Rockers were scheduled to win the titles from The Hart Foundation due toJim Neidhart, one-half of the championship team, being in the process of negotiating his release from the company. The match was taped with The Rockers fairly winning the belts, but soon after, Neidhart reportedly came to a stop-gap agreement with management and was rehired.[6] On the other hand, Michaels claimed in his book that the Hart Foundation lobbied backstage to keep the title.[11] The belts were returned to the Hart Foundation a week later, and despite The Rockers making a title defense againstPower and Glory on November 3,[12] the change was never broadcast or acknowledged on television.

During a tag team match at theUSF Sun Dome in December 1990, Jannetty executed hisRocker Dropper finishing move onChuck Austin, who was teaming withThe Genius. Austin's neck was instantly broken as a result of tucking his head during the move, rather than falling flat on the mat.[13] Austin was paralyzed and sued Jannetty, Michaels, andTitan Sports.[14] When the case finally came to court in early 1994, Austin was awarded $26.7 million. Titan Sports appealed the decision and came to a $10 million settlement. In the end, Jannetty was ordered to pay Austin $500,000.[15]

In a 1991angle to begin the breakup of the team, Michaels was accidentally kicked in the face during a maneuver initiated by Jannetty on one ofThe Nasty Boys, which clipped Shawn in the face and resulted in an elimination atSurvivor Series. Michaels got up after being pinned and began screaming at Jannetty, blaming him for being eliminated.[16] After weeks of tension, the team was granted a WWF World Tag Team Championship match againstThe Legion of Doom on the December 28, 1991 edition ofWWF Superstars. The Rockers were unsuccessful following another miscommunication. Michaels launched Jannetty intoAnimal for a double-team move where Michaels would dropkick Jannetty's back, knocking him on top of Animal. Instead, Animal turned at the last second and Michaels dropkicked him. Animal fell on top of Jannetty and got the 3-count. Following the match, Michaels was irate at Jannetty for getting pinned while Jannetty tried to calm him down. After pushing away an attempted hug by Jannetty, Michaels slapped Jannetty in the face. Jannetty refused to fight back. Michaels slapped Jannetty again, causing Jannetty to lunge at Michaels but stopped short of attacking him and stormed out the ring. Michaels took his wristbands off and stared at the booing crowd.

Attempting to help settle their differences,Brutus Beefcake invited both on his interview segment "The Barber Shop" on the January 12, 1992 episode ofWWF Wrestling Challenge. Michaels and Jannetty appeared to reconcile, but then Michaels turned heel, hitting Jannetty with "Sweet Chin Music". He then picked up Jannetty and tossed him through the big Barber Shop glass window, causing him to bleed profusely.[17] Jannetty was initially meant to work the injury, thus missing the opportunity to win the vacantWWF Championship at the1992 Royal Rumble. He was scheduled to return shortly after to start a feud which was to lead to a one-on-one match between Michaels and Jannetty atWrestleMania VIII.[18]

However, in the early hours of January 25, 1992, Jannetty was arrested inTampa, Florida, after an altercation with police.[19] His female companion, a 19-year-old named Angela Ialacci, was arrested for trying to use a fake ID. Jannetty assaulted the officer performing the arrest, which led to his arrest. They were found to be in possession of less than a gram of cocaine. Jannetty was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting arrest with force. He was indefinitely suspended by the WWF following the incident and his singles matches that were taped in January did not air. In March 1992, he was sentenced to 6 months of house arrest and was released by the WWF shortly after. Michaels ended up facingEl Matador in the opening match of WrestleMania VIII with no significant storyline other than Michaels being upset that El Matador eliminated him from the Royal Rumble.

United States Wrestling Association (1992)

[edit]

After first leaving the WWF in 1992 and awaiting sentencing for his arrest, Jannetty joined theUSWA as aheel. During his stay, he was managed by Bert Prentice and feuded withJerry Lawler.[20]

Return to WWF (1992–1994)

[edit]

Intercontinental Champion (1992–1993)

[edit]

Shortly after his house arrest concluded, Jannetty re-signed with the WWF and returned on October 12, 1992 at a TV taping inSaskatoon, Saskatchewan from the crowd, attempting to strike Michaels with his mirror but inadvertently hittingSensational Sherri, Michaels's then-manager, when Michaels pulled her in front. A few weeks later, he challenged Michaels to a match at the1993 Royal Rumble for the Intercontintental Championship. The match had a secondary storyline, promoting the return of Sensational Sherri from her injuries and speculating whose corner Sherri would be in. During the match, Michaels rolled outside the ring looking to Sherri for comfort. Sherri slapped Michaels, turning babyface and aligning with Jannetty. Jannetty lost after interference by Sherri backfired. After the match, Sherri was being interviewed backstage when Michaels confronted her. Jannetty attacked Michaels during the confrontation. They had to be separated by referees and officials, indicating that theirfeud would continue and perhaps lead to a rematch atWrestleMania IX. But Jannetty was released again after rumors circulated stating that he had beenunder the influence of alcohol or other drugs during the match, leading to its comparably low quality. Michaels was then suddenly shifted into a feud withTatanka. Jannetty to this day denies having been intoxicated at the event, but explains having been rather tired because of lack of sleep, and that the rumor had been started by Shawn Michaels to escape blame for the match being disappointing.[19]

Jannetty returned once again on May 17, 1993, challenging Michaels for theIntercontinental Championship after appearing out of the crowd onMonday Night RAW when Michaels was being interviewed by Vince McMahon and telling the audience that he would defend his title against anyone at any time.[21] Though Michaels initially tried to back out of fighting Jannetty (clearly not expecting anyone, least of all Jannetty, to challenge him that night), he eventually put his title on the line against his former partner. Jannetty won the title that night, thanks toMr. Perfect preventing Michaels from heading to the locker room where he would be counted out but keep his title.[22] Jannetty had only one title defense on TV, defeatingBam Bam Bigelow by countout on the May 31, 1993 edition of Monday Night RAW. He lost the title back to Michaels on June 6, 1993 in a non-televised match in Albany, New York due to interference from Michaels' debuting bodyguardDiesel. The title change was never shown on television and to this day no footage has ever surfaced.[23]

According to Jannetty, it was Curt Hennig who petitioned to bring him back to the WWF. Hennig, who was on good terms with Vince McMahon, convinced Vince that Michaels also deserved some responsibility for the poor Rumble '93 match. Jannetty believes that his title victory was meant as punishment for Shawn Michaels for lying.[19]

After losing the championship back to Michaels, Jannetty feuded withDoink the Clown, eventually winning the program with a final best of three falls match on the June 21, 1993 edition ofMonday Night Raw where Doink almost won the match 2 falls to 1 afterDoink II interfered in the match.Randy Savage (who was commentating the match), attacked the first Doink and revealed the second to the referee, making Jannetty win by reversed decision.

AtSummerSlam '93, Jannetty lost to the recently debutedLudvig Borga in Borga's first televised contest against a major talent. Borga had previously only faced jobbers on television.

Teaming with 1-2-3 Kid (1993–1994)

[edit]

Jannetty then formed a tag team with the1-2-3 Kid, with the two being the winners and survivors of their match atSurvivor Series.

Jannetty won the Tag Team Championship with the 1-2-3 Kid fromThe Quebecers (Jacques andPierre) on the January 10, 1994 episode ofMonday Night Raw. They lost the title to The Quebecers seven days later atMadison Square Garden on January 17, 1994 at a non-televised event when 1-2-3 Kid was pinned following anassisted senton. A clip of the finish of the match aired on the1994 Royal Rumble video.

In the lead up toWrestleMania X, the court case brought forward by Charles Austin (a wrestler paralysed in-ring) was heard. While neither the WWF or Jannetty admitted that it was the outcome of this case which resulted in Jannetty's sudden disappearance from the promotion, it has never been denied either. Jannetty then vanished from the mainstream wrestling scene until early 1995 when he made several appearances inExtreme Championship Wrestling.

Independent circuit (1994–1995)

[edit]

In September 1994, Jannetty took part in a European tour for World Wrestling Superstars. Upon his return to the States, he steadily worked the independent circuit. By February 1995, he was balancing his independent dates with bookings fromExtreme Championship Wrestling. In May 1995, he defeatedBruiser Bedlam to win the MTW Heavyweight Championship, during his time in Midwest Territorial Wrestling. He would hold onto the title until August, when he lost it toAl Snow atSmoky Mountain Wrestling's Super Bowl of Wrestling.

Extreme Championship Wrestling (1995)

[edit]

Jannetty debuted for ECW on February 25 at the ECW showReturn of the Funker where he challengedECW World Heavyweight ChampionShane Douglas in a losing effort. A few months later on April 28, Jannetty defeatedJim Neidhart and the next night he defeated Shane Douglas. On May 13 atEnter the Sandman Jannetty challenged Eddie Guerrero for theECW World Television Championship but failed to win the title. On July 20 Jannetty defeated Bull Pain, the next night on July 21, Jannetty defeated The Terrorist. On June 9 and July 22, Jannetty unsuccessfully challengedThe Sandman for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. On July 28 Jannetty faced Jim Neidhart with the match ending in a double disqualification. This turned out to be Jannetty's final match in ECW as he left for the WWF again.

Second return to WWF (1995–1996)

[edit]

Partnership with Razor Ramon (1995)

[edit]

Later that year, just months after Michaels made a shockingfaceturn, Jannetty returned to the WWF in September 1995. AtIn Your House 4, Jannetty lost his return match to the debutingGoldust. He continued to wrestle as a face. He and Michaels were kept away from each other in matches and storylines. Jannetty formed an alliance withRazor Ramon during the final two months of the year to help with his ongoing issues with"Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase,Sycho Sid, and the now heel1-2-3 Kid. At theDecember 1995 In Your House PPV, Jannetty & Razor defeated Sid & Kid in a tag team match.

The New Rockers (1996)

[edit]

Following an unsuccessful bid to win the 1996 Royal Rumble, Jannetty turned heel in February 1996 to form "The New Rockers". His new partner wasAvatar, who was repackaged as Leif Cassidy with no mention of his previous gimmick that he was still using that same month. The team was presented as heels by virtue of being extremely goofy and annoying; Cassidy moreso than Jannetty. The team's first match was a first-round contest in a tournament for the vacantWWF World Tag Team Championship. The debut was not a strong one, as they were defeated in the first round byThe Godwinns in less than 5 minutes. The team was largely unsuccessful and rarely won any matches on television.

Jannetty interfered unsuccessfully in a singles match between Michaels and Cassidy that March, then lost to Michaels in aWWF Championship match at the Kuwait Cup event in May,[24] as well as in a non-title match that July.

The tandem made their pay-per-view debut atSummerSlam 1996, failing to win the Tag Team Titles during a four-way tag team match withThe Smoking Gunns winning the bout and retaining the titles. The match also featuredThe Godwinns andThe Bodydonnas.

Their next (and final) pay-per-view appearance came atSurvivor Series 1996, when they teamed withOwen Hart & The British Bulldog to faceDoug Furnas & Phil LaFon and The Godwinns in an elimination match. Cassidy began a character change at this event, going from goofy and nerdy to walking slowly with a permanent scowl on his face. He also now had aHorseshoe moustache. Jannetty did not play off Cassidy's attitude change. Jannetty was the first participant eliminated. It was during this match that Jannetty injured his ankle.

Jannetty asked for his release from the company after the show, as he was unhappy with the team's lack of success and management's refusal to split them up. His last match came when they were defeated byPierroth &Cibernetico in a match that aired on the December 23, 1996 episode of RAW. Jannetty and Cassidy shoved each other and argued after the loss, but it was ignored by the commentators.[25]

Return to Independent circuit (1997–2001)

[edit]

After his run with the World Wrestling Federation, Jannetty joined the New York-based independent promotion Ultimate Championship Wrestling in 1997 along with other WWF alumni. He also made an appearance in ECW when he teamed withVampire Warrior in a losing match againstRoadkill and former partner Al Snow at a house show in Orlando, FL on September 27, 1997.[26]

Jannetty made his first appearance following this injury on May 8, 1999, facing IPW Heavyweight ChampionThe Cuban Assassin. In the summer of 1999 he embarked on a tour of Australia for theAustralasian Wrestling Federation (AWF), facingSabu,Chris Candido, andTNT. On October 10, 1999 he teamed withTommy Rogers againstThe Samoan Swat Team on theHeroes of Wrestling PPV.[26] After wrestling one match in ECW in 2000, Jannetty resumed working in independent promotions, including a stint inJimmy Hart'sXWF promotion. In 2001, he decided to take a hiatus from wrestling.

World Championship Wrestling (1998)

[edit]

As part of an effort to enhance WCW's roster asThunder was introduced into the weekly lineup, World Championship Wrestling signed several former WWF wrestlers including Jannetty. He made his debut on the January 12, 1998 edition ofWCW Monday Nitro, defeatingBlack Cat. A week later onNitro, he was defeated by Chris Benoit. Much as Al Snow's run in the WWF in 1997, Jannetty was initially utilized at an enhancement level, falling to wrestlers such asRaven,Dean Malenko, andChris Jericho. He was successful against lower level competition, defeatingLenny Lane,Frankie Lancaster, andHorshu.

In April 1998 he had his first substantial winning streak in WCW, defeatingBarry Horowitz andVincent. In May he began a house show series withKonnan. In July he wrestled Konnan in another series of house show matches, and his final match came on August 31 when he lost to Konnan onNitro.[27] Jannetty was released from his contract while recovering from a shoulder injury suffered during this match.

Third return to WWE (2005–2009)

[edit]
Jannetty in 2005

On the March 14, 2005 episode ofRaw, Jannetty returned for a one-time only reunion with his former tag team partnerShawn Michaels, once again billed as The Rockers and performing their traditional entrance with their original music, againstLa Résistance (Sylvain Grenier andRob Conway). Jannetty scored the win for his team after he used his signature Rocker Dropper.

This was preparation for Jannetty's match withKurt Angle on that week'sSmackDown!, as Angle had challenged Jannetty prior to hisWrestleMania 21 match with Shawn Michaels. Angle claimed that since Jannetty had taught Michaels "everything he knows" while part of The Rockers, he could teach Michaels "how to tap out" by forcing Jannetty to submit onSmackDown!. Angle made good on his promise and forced Jannetty to submit to hisankle lock, but only after a nearly twenty-minute match and an impressive showing for Jannetty which saw him nearly pin the Olympic champion. WWE soon signed him to a new contract, however he was arrested and unable to meet the commitments of his WWE contract, leading to his release on July 6.[28]

On the February 20, 2006 episode ofRaw, Shawn Michaels was pitted against four of the five members of theSpirit Squad in their in-ring debut. After he had used Sweet Chin Music, Michaels was attacked by all five members until an unknown man came storming in to the ring to defend Michaels. During the melee, it was revealed that it was Marty Jannetty coming to defend his former tag team partner. Later onRaw, Vince McMahon came out to mention that he would offer Jannetty a full-time contract. McMahon then added a stipulation that Jannetty had to join Mr. McMahon's "Kiss My Ass Club" the following week onRaw.

Jannetty refused, and McMahon instead offered Jannetty the possibility of breakingChris Masters' signature submission hold, theMaster Lock. Jannetty appeared to almost break the hold, but Mr. McMahon (who was officiating) hit Jannetty with a low blow. Unable to break it, he was only released from the hold when Michaels ran in to save him. Shortly after Michaels had saved Jannetty,Shane McMahon ran in the ring with a steel chair and knocked out Michaels. The former Rockers were supposed to continue a program with the McMahons, but Jannetty was absent from the next episode ofRaw and instead Triple H and Shawn Michaels reunited asD-Generation X. On March 3, WWE announced that it had severed all professional ties with Jannetty without further explanation.

On September 15, it was announced on WWE.com that Jannetty had signed a new contract and would be returning as a veteran to work with younger talent. WWE.com also stated that Jannetty, along withBrad Armstrong andRodney Mack, could also be granted a full-time contract pending the success of this initial venture.[citation needed]

According toWrestling Observer Newsletter, Jannetty was rumored to have been released yet again on September 29. Jannetty countered this rumor on hisMyspace page, stating it was untrue. In a blog on his website,Jim Ross said Jannetty was no longer with WWE on December 24 due to a court order in Florida preventing him from traveling on the road.

On the December 3, 2007 episode ofRaw,Mr. Kennedy, who was feuding with Shawn Michaels at the time, said that he would speak to three people who knew Michaels very well as part of a feud between him and Michaels. The three were imposters dressed asRazor Ramon,Diesel, and Jannetty. Along with a fake Michaels, they were all attacked withSweet Chin Music by the real Michaels.[29] The next week on the 15th anniversary ofRaw, Jannetty appeared along with Michaels in an interview. Michaels wanted to see what would happen when Kennedy fought the real Jannetty. In the end, he was defeated by Kennedy.[30]

On October 19, 2009, Jannetty made an appearance onRaw, losing in a match againstThe Miz.[31]

Chikara (2011–2013)

[edit]

On October 22, 2011, it was announced that Jannetty had signed withChikara as a trainer and as a wrestler. His debut match for the promotion was booked for October 29 against Tursas, but the show was eventually cancelled.[32] He then made his official debut on November 13 atHigh Noon, Chikara's inaugural internetpay-per-view, by accompanyingThe Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) to the ring.[33] Jannetty made his Chikara in-ring debut on August 12, 2012, when he teamed withGreen Ant in a tag team match, where they were defeated by Los Ice Creams (El Hijo del Ice Cream and Ice Cream, Jr.).[34] Jannetty returned on September 16, 2012, when he and the 1-2-3 Kid won the annual tag teamgauntlet match at the2012 King of Trios.[35][36] When Jannetty and the 1-2-3 Kid also defeatedthe Heart Throbs (Antonio Thomas andRomeo Roselli) on November 18, they earned their third point, or third back-to-back win, and a future shot at theChikara Campeonatos de Parejas.[35] Jannetty and the 1-2-3 Kid received their title shot on December 2 at theUnder the Hood internet pay-per-view, where they were defeated by the defending champions, The Young Bucks.[35]

Second return to the Independent circuit (2004–2018)

[edit]

He returned to wrestling in 2004.

His most active recent year on the independent scene was in 2012, where he competed in over a dozen matches.[37] In May 2018, Jannetty wrestled his most recent singles match for AIW, a match he lost toJoey Janela.[38]

His final match to date was held on June 16, 2018 for the Ohio-based Battle on the Border promotion, participating in an eight-man elimination tag team match, where he was the team captain, defeatingEddie Gonzales and his team. In a 2023 interview withBill Apter, Jannetty revealed that after undergoing two ankle surgeries, he doesn't want to return to the ring to risk screwing up his reconstructed ankles, indicating that he's retired from in-ring competition after 35 years.[39]

Personal life

[edit]

In July 2016, Jannetty was named part of aclass action lawsuit filed against the WWE which alleged that wrestlers incurred traumatic brain injuries during their tenure and that the company concealed the risks of injury. The suit was litigated by attorney Konstantine Kyros, who has been involved in a number of other lawsuits against the WWE.[40] The lawsuit was dismissed by US District JudgeVanessa Lynne Bryant in September 2018.[41] Bryant was critical of Kyros for including irrelevant information in the lawsuit, including details about Jannetty's broken ankle, which she said had wasted the court's time.[42] On January 31, 2024, Jannetty reported that his ankle issues may lead to his leg being amputated.[43]

In the early morning hours of August 5, 2020, Jannetty made aFacebook post in which he said he made a man "disappear" when he was 13.[44] Police inColumbus, Georgia confirmed that they would investigate the post.[45] Jannetty later clarified that he did not kill the man, but he hit him in the head with a brick after an attempted sexual assault and "made [him] disappear".[46] The following month, Jannetty said that his comments were part of awrestling storyline, which he had to drop because of the police investigation.[47]
