10 Most Shocking WWE Betrayals

In his heart of hearts, Marty Jannetty must have known that a feud with tag team partner Shawn Michaels wasn't going to go well for him. It seems easy to say that in hindsight, but even at the time there was little doubt about which member of The Rockers was destined for a place higher up the card.

That's probably why Jannetty tried his best to play the role of peace-maker after tensions initially began to flare in late-1991. He realised that he was best served riding on his buddy's coattails, even if said buddy perhaps wasn't so keen on the idea.

After initially appearing to kiss and make up, HBK killed any hope of a reunion during their appearance on Brutus Beefcake's Barbershop talk show in December, kicking his partner square in the chin before throwing him head-first through the adjacent window.

In the years that followed, Shawn became one of WWE's all-time biggest stars after cultivating his uber-arrogant "Sexy Boy" gimmick, whilst Jannetty - after a couple of half-decent if forgettable feuds - faded into relative obscurity shortly thereafter. The business can be a cruel one at times.
