I wonder if there is a parallel world in which Marty Jannetty actually becomes the Shawn Michaels of The Rockers, as opposed to the Marty Jannetty. The brunette one of the pair had all the talent that the blonde did, he just didn't seem to have that ability to connect with a crowd that came with it. Either way, going back 23 years it is clear that Marty had the in-ring goods to be a big star.

Whether that world exists or not we certainly aren't living in it, but on one night in 1993 Marty Jannetty got revenge for his cowardly attempt to jump through the Barber Shop window over a year earlier. Sure, Mr. Perfect got involved in the finish, but the match that preceded the towel throwing was just excellent, as you would expect from these two.

Jannetty and Michaels had great chemistry, and that shines through in this bout. Now, to continue trying to locate that parallel world...
