Marty Jannetty also claims to have killed somebody.

Taking to Facebook in 2020, Jannetty claimed to have committed the crime in self-defence. According to his story, at 13 years old, Jannetty was lured out the back of a bowling alley under the pretence of buying drugs. Sensing an imminent assault, Jannetty revealed that he made his "first" victim "disappear". So in effect, Jannetty outed himself as a serial killer. He reckons that while the man was never found, "they" should've checked the Chattahoochie (sic) river. The insane ramblings of an idle fantasist sparked a manhunt, which compelled Jannetty to reveal that he had made the whole thing up. It was obviously bullsh*t. A wrestling serial killer with a penchant for wild sex?

What is this: NXT when it was supposedly still good?!

Jannetty claimed that his post was merely the beginning of a "damn wrestling storyline". Nobody has booked Jannetty since 2018, so it wasn't a credible defence, exactly. Did Jannetty really kill a man?

Or is he just desperate for a spotlight that shunned him a long, long time ago?
