10 Obscure Wrestling Retirement Matches You Didn't Know About
6. Marty Jannetty
Marty Jannetty was the better Rocker at the time.
He was better on the sell, and was such an awesome athlete that he back-flipped clean on his feet, at WrestleMania VI, when he was hungover to death. Shawn Michaels obviously lapped him over and over again when they each embarked on singles runs to wildly mixed fortunes, but Jannetty was an excellent talent who pissed his career away by being a wild child. And moron.
Sometimes, jokes write themselves.
According to Cagematch.net, Marty Jannetty worked his last professional wrestling match at a show entitled 'Battle On The Border 7: Legends & All Stars.
Legends and All Stars?!
Sounds like a great time!
One suspects a certain carny hyperbole on the part of the promoter, since Jannetty worked an eight-man opposite three wrestlers for whom the website holds no data and virtual unknown Eddie Gonzalez. Jannetty teamed with two other wrestlers so obscure that, again, Cagematch doesn't have a record for them - and they even hold data for everybody who walked through the doors of NXT UK!
Jannetty also teamed with a wrestler named 'Hooks'.
No, that isn't how CM Punk says HOOK's name; this was a different wrestler, another virtual unknown who apparently used 'Hooks' as their ring name.
