This week going thru the early CRZ recaps, I notice that he actually was brought back several times and kept getting thrown out. CRZ addresing the smarks of the day presumed that I as the reader know the backstory. I don't. What was the story?
15 years and a lifetime latter, coming back after he was long forgotten and on the brink of suicide when he got a chance at wrestling redemeption, he still blew it!
Surely one of the biggest tragedies that has not ended in a premature death right now in wrestling?

There's also onlineworldofwrestling.com, formerly known as obsessedwithwrestling.com, which has a comprehensive list of his matches here.
Finally, Marty has his own site, www.martyjannetty.net.
One of the Thirty-two (or maybe Thirty-four....)!

His match against Angle on Smackdown a couple of years ago was really really good, so you know he can still go. Growing up, he was always my favorite Rocker. |
