623.11.2023JediSaiyanMaster12037.0Very good wrestler in the ring, The Rockers are one of the all time best tag teams in professional wrestling, but he sadly became irrelevant after the team split up, his name is literally a term for a reason.
720.11.2023TheWeeJoke [7] Marty Jannetty was a great wrestler. I'd have rated him higher had his career panned out different. Whilst he should have been more as a singles star he still leaves behind a very entertaining body of work. That Rockers feud at WrestleMania would have been great
820.11.2023TurkulaineTurpasauna Marty Jannetty is very talented pro wrestler. I wish the world had been more kind to him. Rockers set the standard that every tag team today is following. I wish he had wrestled Shawn Michaels on Wrestlemania main event. That would have been a good match.

1409.08.2023ViolenceBret7.0The original "Jannetty, " kind of an odd accomplishment in itself. Seriously think about this for a minute, how often are great tag-teams discussed and the term "Jannetty" thrown around among fans? Example being: "Oh yeah, they were good, but he's totally the Jannetty of the two." It isn't a particularly glamours term, but wrestling fans know it. That said, Marty Jannetty was an incredible athlete with a lot of promise. WWE gave him a lot of second chances, but the man himself kept finding new ways to screw up his own life. When Shawn Michaels ends up with more stability, something is off. Which brings us to the infamous rumor that Jannetty killed someone in self-defense as a kid. It would certainly explain his self-destructive behaviors, I.E. using drugs to cope with trauma. Yet it could just be the bizarre ramblings of a cocaine fiend. Regardless, his brief reunion with HBK was surprisingly solid and he worked a good match against Kurt Angle. The New Rockers were very underrated, as Al Snow provided some grounding to the group. Being the first man to earn the Jannetty title must count for something. In addition, party Marty was an exceptional high flyer. Things looked pretty good for him in WCW, but the times were changing. A 7.2/10 seems fair. Lot of good historical impact that makes this guy worth discussing.
1506.08.2023ALF8.0"One is always the Jannetty" - was für eine bittere Karriere .... Immer im Schatten eines hochbegabten Shawn Michaels, zuvor einen Jobber (Chuck Austin) unabsichtlich per mißglücktem Rocker Dropper gelähmt, danach ging die Karrierenur noch bergab.Ist technisch top jedoch mit wenig Charisma ausgestattet. Durfte am 22.10.1995 beim PPV In Your House 4 als TV-Debut-Gegner von Golddust herhalten - auch eine Auszeichnung. Ab Golddust wurden die Gimmicks düsterer (siehe Mankind). Marty war und ist ein bunter Paradiesvogel ähnlich wie Man Mountain Rock (Maxx Payne/Darryl Peterson. Bei Man Mountain Rock begreife ich nur bis heute nicht, warum man NICHT so wie man es beim Ultimate Warrior aka Dingo Warrior oder "Diamond Studd" Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) gemacht hatte, einfach das Vorläufer-Gimmick zumindest in den Grundzügen gleich lässt, aber dann leicht copyrighttechnisch abändert um sich die Schutzrechte am Gimmick holt. Ein Maxx Payne unter der Art Gimmick in der WWF wäre cool gewesen. Man hätte ja nur Namen und Kleidung leicht modifizieren müssen.
1613.07.2023MattHall7.0Good enough wrestler, and was overshadowed by Shawn Michaels after The Barber Shop incident. Though some of promos were good, others were cheesy as well.

2312.03.2023CMFunk0077.0Marty Jannetty was a great wrestler until his fear of Shawn Michaels got the best of him and he dived through the Barber shop window to escape him. Then, his career went on a downward spiral from there. But seriously, he was a great talent with a lot of ring skills who had too many demons to overcome. He couldn't cut a good promo, but he wasn't terrible at it either. Known for getting fired more times than most from the WWF, he was given multiple chances to ascend to the top and never really did after his feud with Michaels came to an end.

2726.09.2022HighFlyDeathcore7.0Very solid junior heavyweight talent, a guy you could certainly build a division around. I like a lot of his stuff in the 90s and his match with Kurt was pretty nice. pretty weird dude from most accounts but he was sweet in ring. His best matches were any of his matches as a Rocker with HBK, his IC title match with HBK and his underrated banger with Dean Milenko on WCW Thunder. Easy 7
2826.09.2022Giantfan19807.0Great wrestler up until the Rockers split and might have been better than Shawn overall but Michaels started to outdistance him after Shawn went on his singles run and Jannetty started letting his substance abuse issues get the better of him. Shawn kept going forward and Jannetty stayed in one place/got lazy. Was hoping that his match with Kurt Angle in 2005 was going to lead to him getting a contract, but his past caught up with him and he wasn't able to commit full term. What made Jannetty so impressive in that match was he was using moves in that match that he NEVER used back in his Rockers days. He's one of the few US wrestlers I can recall adapting their move set years on. Most guys in their 40's would just be doing the same old shtick night in, night out. A lot of wasted potential on a guy who was still trying to party like he never left his 20's.

3029.08.2022face painted legend9.0Had a gimmick of a fun loving pretty boy who had twisted steel, sex appeal, and just loved to rock n' roll all night, and party every single day -- which absolutely worked because the ladies loved the rockers lol. As far as an in ring worker, when he was a tag team wrestler alongside Shawn, I felt he was very innovative, always looked for unique ways to pull off different moves, had a great fire about him, and his comeback off of the hot tag I can still remember in my head now as if I just saw it (and it's been 30 yearssince the rockers were together lol). Once he became a singles, he became one of Vince's measuring sticks to test out the new guys coming in because of how great of an in ring talent he was. They would bring guys in, give them gimmicks, put them with Marty on tv in either their debut match or one of their first matches in the company, and if he couldn't get a good match out of them they didn't last long. I remember vividly Ludvig Borga, Goldust, and a few others were all put with Marty in their initial matches in the company, and Marty worked his ass off to make them look as good as they could possibly look just like he did with other opponents.
3122.07.2022Leth995.0He's so hard to rate because his in-ring skills were good (even in 2005), but he could never put it together and was fired by everybody at least 20 times.

3302.06.2022texasyosh7.0Marty is a pretty good though unmemorable wrestler when not teaming with Shawn Michaels. His behavior outside of the ring will always be remembered.
3403.05.2022Conquistador378.0Marty likes to party! Unfortunately, that particular trait has always had an iron fisted grip on his potential. Almost all of us in the late 80's/early 90's thought *HE* would be the break out star of the pairing with Shawn Michaels, oops. Someone said it best, maybe it was Shawn himself: The fans hated Shawn for turning on Marty, more than they loved Marty. Make sense? While his career never went the way we all thought it would, none of his work is "bad". The team with Al Snow was actually underrated, the work was good - but the gimmick sucked. Almost all points earned on the team of The (Midnight) Rockers; their stuff is MANDATORY viewing, bucket list wrestling you MUST experience. Poor dude is a total train wreck these days, I do not recommend you go there.... best to live in the past here. 7.75 rounded up.
3501.05.2022WhatIsLooveee5.0A promising team wrestler who had great potential in the early nineties, but partly through his own fault could not become a bigger star. Marty achieved success mainly as a tag team specialist and he became a household name in wrestling circles. Despite the fact that he was IC and tag team champion after that, he still remains just "the second of the rockers", which says a lot about his career. As for me, he's just a pretty decent wrestler, but nothing more.

4105.08.2021TigerDiver7.0I always enjoyed Marty's work, both in tag and singles division. Actually very underrated in fact. He was a hot babyface after his return in late '92 coming off The Rockers' split. And would've been a huge deal as well had he not fuck himself up several times over the years.

4307.05.2021AnB7.0Big fan of Jannetty, not just as a tag team wrestler but solo as well. He put on some damn solid matches while he was in WCW, even though he was completely ignored there and really just used as a midcard jobber for up-and-comers to work through. Wished he'd gotten a bigger push in the late 90s.
4421.04.2021dwight7.0 
4510.03.2021JBoogieRom286.0He was an amazing talent and really could've been way more than just a tag team wrestler because that is all people recognized him as. People just ignore the fact that he was Intercontinental Champion at one point and still they just think of his name and automatically say "Oh yeah, the other guy from The Rockers" and it is just sad to hear.
4604.03.2021WrestlingStats15.0Assets: Made his mark as a competent tag team specialist at the highest level. Despite this, he could also capably handle singles duties also. Had a pretty respectable career as an independent attraction wrestler once his major league aspirations came to an end. - - - Flaws: Never really stood out in any particular area. Was always getting in the way of his own success. Definitely topped out as a tag specialist at the highest level. - - - Career Potential: Solid major league tag specialist.
4725.01.2021Brett19806.0Everything he did that involved Shawn, either teaming or feuding was great. Everything else not so great.
4831.12.2020Ma Stump Puller5.0Marty was probably the very standard of the lesser man in a tag group: Shawn didn't need him to be a star, and he was pretty much hopeless without having his talent around to keep them both afloat. Sure, he had some decent matches and he wasn't a bad worker in his hey-day, but you'd never see anything remarkable about him. He's a good tag specialist, nothing more.

5219.07.2020ElPolloLoco7.0He was a great in-ring talent. The guy could really really wrestle and was very consistent throughout most of his career: he's one of those guys who may not have many memorable 10/10 matches to his credit but who entertained crowds with a long string of 7/10 and 8/10 matches every week for years. A great addition to any show he was one. However once the match stopped, so did Marty Jannetty. His promos felt forced and awkward at the same time and he was the very definition of a charisma black hole. In many ways he reminds me of the present NJPW Tiger Mask: a great great in-ring performer with a surprising longevity (especially considering his issues with substance abuse) but completely devoid of any star quality outside of the ring.

6405.08.2019KyleEnjoysWrestling5.0Someone who's name can be added as a noun in a dictionary, so he's got that going for him. Jannetty was good in the ring, but if a team splits, it's hard for someone not to become the Jannetty of the dup. And Marty was it. Never did much to speak of after the Rockers split. He never reinvented himself or found a new persona to make the way HBK did. He was always seen as a guy desperately trying to hang on to the Rockers even though they were dead. That's not a good look.

6620.05.2019The Sick Lebowski7.0Die Rockers gehören für mich zu meinen liebsten Tag Teams aller Zeiten. Schade, dass Jannetty es nach deren Ende bzw. dem kurzen Run als IC-Champ nie wieder geschafft hat, auch nur annähernd wieder so populär zu werden. Sieben Punkte wegen der Nostalgie und dem (leider verschenkten) Potential.
6728.03.2019zephyr6.0Jannetty has become the go-to standard for describing the guy who started in a team and never accomplished anything more while their former partner went on to become successful. I honestly think if it weren't for that fact, and Shawn Michaels in general, Jannetty would be pretty much forgotten these days. Good in the ring, really dull talker and lacking in charisma though.
6806.03.2019JEK 19916.0 
6918.11.2018RatingsMachine7.0Marty is a guy whose name has become synonymous with wrestlers in tag teams who get totally outshined by their partner when they become singles stars. That's a shame, because Marty was a far more solid worker than Shawn, who made opponents look good with his working ability rather than throwing himself around the ring like a pinball

7119.08.2018pappahouse7.0Ein guter technischer Wrestler, welcher immer im Schatten von Shawn Michaels stand, was schade für ihn war. Ich mochte ihn immer ganz gern. Leider ging auch aufgrund seines Drogenkonsums seine Karriere den Bach runter.
7222.06.2018IsThisWrestling9.0If anyone is the equivalent of Randy "The Ram" Robinson, it is this man. A career with as many great performances as there were setbacks. An underrated gem of this industry. Had a lot of demons, but even more talent.

7705.02.2018A-Double7.0Fantastischer In-Ring-Performer, der leider aufgrund von persönlichen Problemen im Schatten von Shawn Michaels steht. Im Ring war er immer der bessere Rocker. Aber Promos beherrschte er gar nicht, und er war zu unzuverlässig um lange genug am Stück bei der WWF zu bleiben, um sich als Single Wrestler zu etablieren. Sein riesiges Talent zeigt sich darin, wie oft die WWF/WWE ihn wieder eingestellt hat. Das könnte ein Rekord sein. Und selbst bei seinem letzten Run, sichtlich gealtert war kein geringerer als Kurt Angle voll des Lobes. Eigentlich tragisch verschwendetes Potenzial.

9721.03.2016Zed5.0Im Tag Team Wrestling ist es leider meistens so dass einer aus dem Team Erfolge feiert und der andere nicht. Dieses Phänomen nennt man in Wrestlerkreisen oft den Jannetty-Move. Marty war der Vorreiter dafür, während sein Ex- Rocker Kollege Shawn maichaels zu einem der größten Superstars des Business wurde blieb für Jannetty nur der Posten der Randerscheinung in Michaels Karriere. Aber um fair zu sein war es auch nicht verwunderlich. Denn außer gutes High- Flying hatte Marty eben nie etwas besonderes an sich. Die Rockers waren sein Karriere Highlight, obwohl er noch nicht mal am Ende seiner Karriere war. Tragische Figur
9827.01.2016ShooterMcShoot7.0Maybe not great, but over a long period of time, Marty was very consistent in the ring. Even in his last WWE work, he was having good outings (I remember a particularly great one with Kurt Angle on Smackdown). He seemed to just be stuck with an inordinate amount of bad luck compounded by his own personal issues. Even still, I always liked his work. Marty was good.
9920.09.2015Brudguns9.0Great tag team wrestler with the rockets and new rockers, hugely underrated and really should have had a far better push.
