10 Things We Learned From Dark Side Of The Ring: Marty Jannetty

10. His Daily Pain “Is A 12”

Daily life isn't easy for Marty Jannetty in 2023.

A surgeon called George McCluskey told VICE's cameras that Jannetty's current pain level is "a 12 on a good day". That's based on the old 1-10 scale, which is downright frightening. 'Dark Side' opened with Marty showing off the severe swelling on his right leg and foot. It looks...really sore.

Marty rolled his ankle during a routine match at the 1996 Survivor Series, and his foot hasn't been the same since. He somehow smiled through the pain to tell producers that his morning had been difficult, then struggled to touch certain parts of his foot whilst explaining the pain.

It's genuinely sad to see someone in this state. Something as innocuous as a rolled ankle (an injury most fans probably didn't even spot at the time) has caused Jannetty decades of untold agony, and just getting by day to day isn't easy for the man at all.
