7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Oct 6)
3. BREAKING: Marty Jannetty Is Innocent
The cruel, unfortunate shorthand of Marty Janetty's in-ring career is thus: Not Shawn Michaels.
It's a real shame; Jannetty was a sensational seller who infused the leaden, cartoonish WWF Golden Era in-ring style with phenomenal athleticism. Unfortunately, the subsequent singles success of his old Rockers partner - who sort of became one of the greatest in-ring performers in the history of wrestling - has rendered his not inconsiderable achievements an apparent failure in comparison.
Fortunately, Jannetty is no longer known as Not Shawn Michaels. He's now known as the perverted freak who wants to molest the girl he raised as his own daughter, taking his notorious ball-breaking sense of humour to a grisly new, nut-busting low. A few weeks back, Jannetty presented his Facebook followers with a very simplistic conundrum - "Am I morally free to have sex with the young girl I was only aware isn't my biological offspring a few days ago?". The answer to that is as obvious as the answer to the question "Which Rocker experienced the most success as a singles performer?"
But, as it turned out this week, Jannetty was actually hacked - despite so obviously writing the post in his trademark, incomprehensible style, and having previously asked his followers if he was alright to do a spot of porn. He has past form.
In a way, it's almost sweet that Jannetty has just enough moral fibre to question these things. In another, more accurate way, it's sick.
