Marty Jannety's biggest rivals are he himself, drugs , alcohol and strippers. It's a dangerous concoction. Its just not wrestlers, it's every person who's doing that. A little bit of high followed by downward spiral of bad luck and worst outcomes.
His resources being depleted honestly is what saved his life imagine Marty getting Michaels pay back in the 90s no offense but he would have probably been gone within 6 months.

The fact that he has not OD'd on the drugs he has used and or died from dumb stunts he has done is a shock to all mankind. I'll be totally honest and say that when I heard about the Dark Side episode my first thought was whether or not Marty was still alive. How that man is still alive I will never know, God bless Marty.

Dark Side of the Ring has basically just become a biography show for drug addict wrestlers. It is crazy how badly addiction hits these guys. Sunny for example was a med student when she started in wrestling. She'd probably be a doctor today if she never met Candido. And the drugs got her so bad she was blowing guys at ECW just to get free somas, she made a porno and she killed a guy. Marty Janetty wasn't as good as Shawn but he was very good. One of the best workers in the company at that time. He could have had a great career but drugs. Bam Bam also drugs. And those are just the ones who become addicts and it negatively affects their career. There are guys like Kurt and Shawn that were just as bad as those guys only they kept their jobs.
They had anything they could want at any time. Those doctors should be ashamed. Over prescribed all these people for years. So sad. So many people in our country are addicted to pills. So many doctors just $$$ hungry.
I honestly believe Sunny was always like that deep down, and the fame and addiction brought it out more. There are stories of her cheating way back in SMW, before she was famous or did drugs.
Of the guys using drugs, Shawn quit once he found religion. I can't say if Angle quit or not. Bret Hart talks about the doctors in his book who had a line of wrestlers who passed out stuff. He admitted to taking some. It all stopped once the Feds came in. Some of the guys like Bret stopped, but as we many didn't and we lost a lot of because of drugs. Sunny always denied she was taking any, even when she was caught. I remember reading about her and Chris being caught after they left WWE. Then Chris died. Sunny apparently kept using and denying it.
Sunny let that fame go to her head, add that on top of being the very definition of a narcissist and you get a train wreck... Sunny couldn't stand the thought of Sable and other women coming in and taking off and she thought banging top talent would hold her spot🤷🤷 The justice system failed by letting her off the hook time after time and she ended up killing someone... She seems toxic and Marty seems to always say nothing happened between him and Sunny and I wonder if that's out of respect or he just doesn't want to claim that one🤷🤷😂😂
Marty is right about Shawn about coming out on top despite being in worst of situations and bad company. Remember thereafter he formed Kliq with (Late) Scott Hall and Nash. Both had bad drug addiction with Hall's being the worst amongst them. Then he had an affair with Sunny whose life complete downward spiral post WWE.

I honestly do think some of this bowling alley story is true. Maybe he didn’t kill the guy but he hurt him and ran off. It’s too random of a story to make up and the details seem very specific. I can believe some creepy bowling alley employee use weed as a way to try and take advantage of a younger boy
I'd go with that as well. The thing he said about not wanting to tell his brother in case his brother tried to kill the guy actually makes sense if he just beat up the guy, or ran away.
God help him is some part of that assault story is true. It could go a ways to explaining some of how he's conducted himself in life if he's never dealt with it.
Marty is Marty's own worst enemy and I don't blame Shawn from breaking up The Rockers. In the same way that I don't blame Bret Hart for wanting to get away from Jim Niedhart.
@@radioVHS149 Janetty shot himself in the foot so much that it would end up dragging Shawn down, and he knew he was gonna be the star. Janetty wasn’t it
2 things really stuck out to me. 1) I was really impressed with Al Snow. The guy has taken a lot of head trauma yet is still well spoken, articulate, and genuine. 2) I'm not on social media so I didn't know Marty was going wild like that on Facebook. I paused the video to read the posts and he was going ham!
Lol Marty is like your crazy uncle who you’ve been trying to explain conspiracy theories to, but then gets the internet and goes WAYY too far with them
According to Wikipedia, in 2012 Paul Diamond took a job working for his local parks and rec department and is married with kids. So a fairly normal and happy ending there. No death, injury or major scandal
Marty is that friend that you can’t help but love, but who you will never lend money to or allow to watch your kids. It sucks because he was so talented and could have been something bigger had he just remained straight.
He’s also one of those friends that’s a pathological liar, but you just kinda play along because you can tell they REALLY need that imaginary world, and you don’t want to be the one to collapse it all. Like “yeah man, your high school garage band was amazing, you totally could’ve been the next Green Day if you only found a drummer and bass player..”
@@johansmallberries9874 Went to high school with a dude like that. He'd tell the most unbelievable bullshit stories that you'd just silently be thinking to yourself: "Does he really think we're buying this?" A mutual friend nicknamed him "Uncle Remus". Lol.
@stewartmcrae8007 I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 80's, born in 80... So the adults were able to watch Vern's Minnesota territory on Saturdays when they were younger and Omaha had some talent. Mad Dog, Luna, Doug The Pro, Mantar lol rip, Million Dollar Man... etc... but I never seen or knew anything about territories... I was the prime age of watching WWF in 86-93 from age 6-13 and then later... but I knew at very young it was Kayfabe, just like I knew cartoons and comics were fake... I still thought they were kinda mad at each other, and I still loved Baby Faces and HATED Honky Tonk Man, Sargent Slaughter, and Boss Man... Listening about the southern territories makes me jealous... Those crowds and events looked super fun... I couldn't image a kid or guy fan who wasn't smart to the business because of how territories operated then watching WWF in 1989, going "what the hell is going on!!!" Me and my brothers ONLY knew 80's WWF... what a change in a show from 1979-1989... Man... If only a few of those territories held on into the late 80's, when WWF popped and then could still sell tickets... Crazy how the decline of the show started going downhill in the mid 2000's -2010 when the territory guys were all getting out of the business. Developmental isn't near the same as a Territory... its all rookies... Old territories would throw a guy in after training for 6 months in a show with Ric, Steamboat, Arn, Sting, Wayne Ferris, Jerry etc all on the same card... And they helped each other out! Mainly to have a driving buddy or to mutually help find work in other territories in the future.
I’d love Jim and Brian to do a watch along of the ‘91 Royal Rumble opener with the Rockers and the Orient Express. One of my favourite WWF tag matches from that era.
I remember the reunion 2005 episode. I remember Shawn botched a kip up and Marty nails it. I always wondered if it was on purpose or not to make him look better
The Rockers breakup is still absolutely legendary. But Marty Jannetty barely even tried afterwards. Changed nothing about his character, kept the team's old theme music, developed no character whatsoever. That is a death rattle. Jannetty can blame god and Shawn and everyone else, but Jannetty just wasn't as good and wasn't nearly as smart as Michaels. And I still don't understand how Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were heartthrobs. They were ugly af lol.
I saw a match earlier from 1996 with Jannetty as heel and Michaels as face - and it doesn't work. Jannetty was awful as a heel and he didn't develop a bit since the breakup.
Also, funny comment regarding the R&R. True. Never understood why Cornette always claimed they had a more sex on their way to the ring than most people have in a lifetime.
Off the top of my head the three things I remember about Janetty 1) barber shop break up 2) the backdrop he took from Warlord in SS ‘90 that has to been seen to believed 3) registering a room in Scott Hall’s name and trashing it
Shawn Michaels said when he and Marty suggested the Midnight Rockers name to Verne,.Verne asked them if they thought people would confuse them with rocking chairs. 😮
This was a hard one to watch. Marty is his own worse enemy. Paul diamond briefly reunited with Tanaka in the orient express.he was the masked kato.mr.fuji managed them
A perfect example of potential squandered by relentless self destruction. I don't think he could've been as big as Shawn Michaels but he could've achieved even more if he had decision making capacity worth a damn.
My favorite part was how everyone destroyed hbk they built up to what Marty thought about him and he praised him. That made me realize I know a Marty in real life we all do. That guy who likes to party never grew up but has a heart of gold and is a good guy
@@MorfBeeX The second version of the Orient Express was Badd Company under a new name. The original OE was Akio Sato and Pat Tanaka. Sato left in 1990 to return to Japan.
If they do another season they really need to do Jim Cornette vs Vince Russo. Just interview both in separate interviews, asking the same questions, chronicling their entire professional relationship. Another fun episode would be the Jim Herd years of WCW and how badly he damaged WCW's product back then. I don't know if there is enough material for an episode but the scissors incident between Sid and Arn Anderson would be interesting. If they want to go with a couple of more recent happenings they could do CM Punk vs the EVPs or the NDA scandal with Vince McMahon. Another great episode idea would be on Hulk Hogan and his backstage politics through out his career. Maybe an episode about the rash of early deaths in late 90s... Crash Holly, Louie Spicolli, Hawk, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, etc.
nope, god is a true piece of shit that absolutely plays favorites. assholy has fucked me up the ass sans lube for damn near 60 years. fuck you god for this world and fuck you god for my life
Poor Marty eeeeeshhhhh i remember he was my hero . I liked him over Shawn when i was a baby . Looking back Shawn was indeed the better choice Vince definitely had an insight we didn't see .
I believe I mentioned this in the Dark Side of the Ring comments, Marty was the technical side of the Tag Team. Shawn as Vince would say was the sizzle vs Marty's steak.
I like how so many things happened in the WWF due to Corny making a sarcastic remark that wasn’t meant to be taken seriously but ended up being taken seriously.
44:10 how would the Chattahoochee River story get him booked? Well of course now he would be known as The Rocker, the guy that kills people with a literal Rock!
Yeah but the other seasons had better more memorable episodes like the new Jack episode or Chris Beniot or even Owen hart . This season has been ok but no massive stories imo
This season was ok, but the Marty Jannetty episode was terrible. Who the heck gives a crap about Marty Jannetty. Even the people in the episode besides Al Snow were all washed up nobodies who even in their prime were nobody, lower tier midcard wrestlers. With Marty its always everyone else fault but his.
Yeah, Dark Side left out Marty Jannetty working with Kurt Angle. It was tied to Angle's feud with Shawn Michaels. Kurt even sang a parody version of Shawn's music "Marty Jannetty.. still can't walk... I'm just a sexy Kurt..."
TIL that Al Snow was forever regulated to the midcard because Bruce Prichard couldn't stop kneecaping him trying to pop Vince. That is such a waste and a reminder of why I never like Bruce.
Marty Jannetty was such a great wrestler better than Shawn at first but he was his own enemy. You might love or hate HBK but even he was probably tired of bailing out Marty for all the stupid shit he did. The fact that even in 00s he still got it but his demons got the best of him is pretty sad. It was good to see that Shawn tried to help Marty out in the end.
My ex has hung out with Marty a few times. She's met several wrestlers through convention channels and says that he's cool but often seems out of it. The morning after he met her he called her hotel room to ask if she'd give him a ride to the airport because he got fucked up and missed his ride. Never change, Marty.
@@MrShanester117 Nah, she's married and not the type to sleep around but she nonetheless interacted with him quite a bit a few years ago. They were both at the same conventions (he was there for wrestling stuff, she was the cohost of a local rockabilly horror movie show). She's a really bubbly girl, she probably just struck up a conversation and he loved the attention. He said that he had to put her on his "ho phone" so his girlfriend wouldn't find out.
Marty Jannetty also had a good amateur wrestling background. One of my dream matches that never occurred was Marty Jannetty vs. Brad Armstrong (R.I.P) or a Marty Jannetty & Brad Armstrong tag team duo, which either could have happened in late 1999/ early 2000 WCW.
@@TomBerishaj I more of Pro Rasslin fan than Pro Sports Entertainment fan. I remember when a guy would work an arm bar in ring for 3 minutes. Mat wrestling and catches catch can is what Pro Wrestling is about. Not about a promo of how many flips a person can do.
I could be wrong, but when Missy introduced herself as Beefcake’s manger, I took that a bit more literally. As in she manages him in real life - she books his public appearances, manages his travel, accommodation etc. I didn’t take it to mean she ever managed him in the ring.
Marty Jannetty almost got his ass kicked by Ray Stevens. Marty was in San Jose, CA in the early 90s for a WWF show and all but threatened Ray Stevens (who was in his mid 50s) in the locker room. Apparently, Ray was working as an agent at the time, and he questioned Marty who was half asleep on being too f*cked up to wrestle. I guess Marty didn't like it and got in Ray's face, so Stevens ended up going to Vince McMahon to let him know he was going to knock Marty out in self-defense if necessary. Ray didn't want to get in trouble with Vince if something bad happened, and Vince told him to do what he had to do. Marty wisely calmed down.
Marty’s new podcast was supposed to start and discuss the episode, The livestream looks to be cancelled now. Guess ole party Marty still can’t get it together. Lol. His Facebook is a blast to follow! If you’re interested he did HOURS of footage with Boston wrestling, Dan Mirade. It’s on UA-cam. Was supposed to continue but Dan passed away.
It was pathetic and as I mentioned, in addition to the obvious, seeing MJ lack of self awareness, development and maturation were among the saddest of them all. But, you can overcame your struggles if you really want to by having a good look at yourself, accepting personal responsibility and willpower (and people to support you). Have a good day.
I quit maybe 10 years ago...but watched pro wrestling for between 25 and 30 years. Marty going through the glass was the most profound moment of that entire stretch. I loved the Rockers, Marty was my favorite of the two. When Hogan won, i experienced joy. When Ric Flair would cheat, i would get so angry. But only one time in that 30 years did i have my heart broken. Ill never forget it.
Marty isnt a pathological liar. He has that comedian trait of making up crazy bits for their entertainment and wanting people to play along for his entertainment
Well, Roddy Piper once pulled Shawn aside in the locker room telling him he had a very bright future in his career and sees he would become a major star someday. In fact both Roddy and Marty told that story and it really upset Marty. Sometimes things happen for a reason, just look at how we got the Road Warriors? That happened because of one guy with bad habits - Matt Bourne - who ended up being fired and Arn became a Horsemen while Animal had Hawk to become a legendary tag team.
As a medical provider regarding the poorly explained state of janettys ankle, the most common assumption would be that he post-op infection that has likely colonized like waking up with a regrettable one night stand that keeps hiding in the closet everytime you try to get her out of your house(I explained it in terms Marty would understand). It would be safe to assume it either began as or has become a methicillin resistant staph. Many folks who were in gyms AS WELL AS anyone who was using needles without aeseptic techniques and precautions became colonized with mrsa in the late 90s-2000s. Throughout the 2000s it wasn't uncommon to have a dozen patients a night in the ER with mrsa abscesses and/or cellulitis. I have no doubt looking at that leg (and if I could see an X-ray I could tell you for sure) the has actually progressed to osteomyelitis, or in layman's terms the bones themselves are infected. This is why diabetics develop gangrenous extremities/ lose limbs. Even without being immunocompromised it's nigh impossible to ever completely eradicate the infection from osteomyelitis. I wish him the very best, but that leg is likely going to require amputation, or will end his life. One last thing, Bruce Pritchard comes across as the most underhanded, conniving, sniveling little worm who has made a livelihood as a parasite sucking blood mouth-latched to Vince's hemorrhoids. Its like a combination of bitterness that he couldn't be the big strong, cool brother like Dr. Tom and that lackey behavior that carves a niche by directing the tyrants anger while giving vince handjobs and stroking his ego. I don't see how there isn't more piss and vinegar amongst ppl for him like there is for Bischoff (as an example).
I think you are correct on all counts. MRSA in particular did not come to mind, but infection did, and the timeline aligns well, agreed. Good explanation
Just within the first 15 minutes, it was very apparent Marty must have thought this was some sort of Biography on how cool he is, and how cool his life was.... Someone should've informed him it was 'Dark Side of the Ring' not A&E 🙄
On big take from that episode is you really see Jims point RE size/ Marty and Shawn were considered smallish yet look at their upper bodies in those clips compared to the Bucs and Cole
I find it so crazy hearing about how Vince hated Al Snow. Growing up, I always remembered him as a great wrestler who then went over to being the star coach of Tough Enough, the WWE's reality tv show based around developing new talent. He was a guy so technically gifted in the ring, they said, "I want you to personally train our new talent"

Vince and pat Patterson made sure their boy toy was alright
Marty was much worse than Shawn. Even at the worst of Shawn he never did half of the crazy shit Marty did.
@@fingersTitan No they don't. Stop making stuff up.
Not Dark, just dim. Classic line
I honestly do think some of this bowling alley story is true. Maybe he didn’t kill the guy but he hurt him and ran off. It’s too random of a story to make up and the details seem very specific. I can believe some creepy bowling alley employee use weed as a way to try and take advantage of a younger boy
I'd go with that as well. The thing he said about not wanting to tell his brother in case his brother tried to kill the guy actually makes sense if he just beat up the guy, or ran away.
Sounds like Catholic priest
God help him is some part of that assault story is true. It could go a ways to explaining some of how he's conducted himself in life if he's never dealt with it.
i think marty got sexually assaulted an came up with the murder concept to rationalize the trauma
@@ducklife420This!!!!
Marty is Marty's own worst enemy and I don't blame Shawn from breaking up The Rockers. In the same way that I don't blame Bret Hart for wanting to get away from Jim Niedhart.
Because Janetty was bad news, and Janetty would bring him down
Bret didnt want to get away from Jim. He was just too big of a star for Vince to not push him as a single.
@@paisleyprincess7996Jannetty a white Bad News Brown?? You're crazy lol
@@radioVHS149 Janetty shot himself in the foot so much that it would end up dragging Shawn down, and he knew he was gonna be the star. Janetty wasn’t it
You know it was a work, right?
If the story at the end is true or similar to an actual event, it could kind of explain why Marty is the way he is.
"I don't know if Marty's side is dark or just kinda dim"... Genius!
Gold!
2 things really stuck out to me.
1) I was really impressed with Al Snow. The guy has taken a lot of head trauma yet is still well spoken, articulate, and genuine.
2) I'm not on social media so I didn't know Marty was going wild like that on Facebook. I paused the video to read the posts and he was going ham!
Lol Marty is like your crazy uncle who you’ve been trying to explain conspiracy theories to, but then gets the internet and goes WAYY too far with them
@myquest666420
Ha! You tell your uncle about Bob Lazar, and he goes online and says aliens are graping people every day!
@@charlest5604 lol exactly
Jannetty was stuck in the 80s anyway.
Lol so did I
According to Wikipedia, in 2012 Paul Diamond took a job working for his local parks and rec department and is married with kids. So a fairly normal and happy ending there. No death, injury or major scandal
This was by far the biggest train wreck episode in the history of Dark Side lol
Nah, the plane ride from hell will always own that spot
@@derjude5758 at least that episode was intriguing and suspenseful. this episode was full of ugly rednecks making up stories lol
Not really b/c a lot of them died decades earlier than Marty
Marty is that friend that you can’t help but love, but who you will never lend money to or allow to watch your kids. It sucks because he was so talented and could have been something bigger had he just remained straight.
He’s also one of those friends that’s a pathological liar, but you just kinda play along because you can tell they REALLY need that imaginary world, and you don’t want to be the one to collapse it all.
Like “yeah man, your high school garage band was amazing, you totally could’ve been the next Green Day if you only found a drummer and bass player..”
@@johansmallberries9874 Went to high school with a dude like that. He'd tell the most unbelievable bullshit stories that you'd just silently be thinking to yourself: "Does he really think we're buying this?" A mutual friend nicknamed him "Uncle Remus". Lol.
So not much of a friend then.
Hehehe knew a liar guy like that, "I took a 70 ft ramp on a dirt bike, broke 23 bones bro. My parents live with ME bro." (He was from New york)

I have been waiting for this and it didn't disappoint Jim's reviews are often better than the actual episode
😂 I was waiting for this review too!
So good, spot on, Jim has a great way of never being one-sided... He says the good and bad... except about Shit stain
@@darylmixan8170 there isn't anything good to say about Russo and cornette would probably add Jim Herd and Kevin Dunn to that list
@stewartmcrae8007 I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 80's, born in 80... So the adults were able to watch Vern's Minnesota territory on Saturdays when they were younger and Omaha had some talent. Mad Dog, Luna, Doug The Pro, Mantar lol rip, Million Dollar Man... etc... but I never seen or knew anything about territories... I was the prime age of watching WWF in 86-93 from age 6-13 and then later... but I knew at very young it was Kayfabe, just like I knew cartoons and comics were fake... I still thought they were kinda mad at each other, and I still loved Baby Faces and HATED Honky Tonk Man, Sargent Slaughter, and Boss Man... Listening about the southern territories makes me jealous... Those crowds and events looked super fun... I couldn't image a kid or guy fan who wasn't smart to the business because of how territories operated then watching WWF in 1989, going "what the hell is going on!!!" Me and my brothers ONLY knew 80's WWF... what a change in a show from 1979-1989... Man... If only a few of those territories held on into the late 80's, when WWF popped and then could still sell tickets... Crazy how the decline of the show started going downhill in the mid 2000's -2010 when the territory guys were all getting out of the business. Developmental isn't near the same as a Territory... its all rookies... Old territories would throw a guy in after training for 6 months in a show with Ric, Steamboat, Arn, Sting, Wayne Ferris, Jerry etc all on the same card... And they helped each other out! Mainly to have a driving buddy or to mutually help find work in other territories in the future.
The whole episode was just a lesson in not being a moron, for some people like a Marty, that was impossible.
Janetty is one of those people I look at to tell myself “ much as my life sucks, at least I’m not THAT guy”
We’re one step away from ankle cellulitis
I’d love Jim and Brian to do a watch along of the ‘91 Royal Rumble opener with the Rockers and the Orient Express. One of my favourite WWF tag matches from that era.
Loved the orient express as a kid
Sure was a great match
The second version of the Orient Express was just Badd Company with Paul Diamond in a mask. I always thought that was funny.
@@frod79great theme music
Best Moment… the moped in the hotel lobby 😂
I remember the reunion 2005 episode. I remember Shawn botched a kip up and Marty nails it. I always wondered if it was on purpose or not to make him look better
Watch it again, they both botched it
Both botched it
Jannetty holds the record for most times hired/fired by WWE. Tell me that ain't an accomplishment.
It “ain’t.” Pathetic.
@@mab1959you ok
I remember hearing murmers about Marty getting like an agent position or something. However, house arrest is a serious hinderance for a traveling job.
The bowling alley employee...the first ever recipient of The Rocker Dropper, literally.
"I don't know if Marty's side is dark or just kinda dim" had me laughing my ass off! 😂😂😂
The Rockers breakup is still absolutely legendary. But Marty Jannetty barely even tried afterwards. Changed nothing about his character, kept the team's old theme music, developed no character whatsoever. That is a death rattle. Jannetty can blame god and Shawn and everyone else, but Jannetty just wasn't as good and wasn't nearly as smart as Michaels.
And I still don't understand how Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson were heartthrobs. They were ugly af lol.
Lol about the Rock and Roll Express.
Crazy how that plan of inaction tanked Marty's career but got Roman the main event of like 6 straight Manias 😭😭😭
I saw a match earlier from 1996 with Jannetty as heel and Michaels as face - and it doesn't work. Jannetty was awful as a heel and he didn't develop a bit since the breakup.
Also, funny comment regarding the R&R. True. Never understood why Cornette always claimed they had a more sex on their way to the ring than most people have in a lifetime.
@@odedsbecause Cornette is both a sage and full of shit.
Marty isnt the type to have enemies but ill bet he's had hundreds just wash their hands of him
I still remember to this day watching Shawn put Marty through that barbershop window.
Me too I was 10!
Off the top of my head the three things I remember about Janetty
1) barber shop break up
2) the backdrop he took from Warlord in SS ‘90 that has to been seen to believed
3) registering a room in Scott Hall’s name and trashing it
Shawn Michaels said when he and Marty suggested the Midnight Rockers name to Verne,.Verne asked them if they thought people would confuse them with rocking chairs.
😮
This was a hard one to watch. Marty is his own worse enemy.
Paul diamond briefly reunited with Tanaka in the orient express.he was the masked kato.mr.fuji managed them
Thanks scoop jackson
A perfect example of potential squandered by relentless self destruction. I don't think he could've been as big as Shawn Michaels but he could've achieved even more if he had decision making capacity worth a damn.
My favorite part was how everyone destroyed hbk they built up to what Marty thought about him and he praised him. That made me realize I know a Marty in real life we all do. That guy who likes to party never grew up but has a heart of gold and is a good guy
U mean martys friends cried about HBK being successful 🤡one idiot said he was kissing Vinces ass🤣Long before shawn had gotten his push
Needless to say Marty's perception of Shawn would've been different if you asked him 20+ years ago
I Believe that I Do Have/Know or I've Had/Known a "Marty" to Several/Many "Martys' in My Life
It's hard talking about Marty the same guy that wanted to bang a girl that he thought was the father to
Can't spell party without saying Marty 😅
It was great to see Pat Tanaka on it. The Orient Express were a great tag team
They was dope
A scammer of all scammers
Very underrated
@@MorfBeeX A great team with a great theme song. Loved their matches with the Rockers in the AWA and the WWF
@@MorfBeeX The second version of the Orient Express was Badd Company under a new name. The original OE was Akio Sato and Pat Tanaka. Sato left in 1990 to return to Japan.
this episode really made it feel like Dark Side of the Ring ran out of things to cover
If they do another season they really need to do Jim Cornette vs Vince Russo. Just interview both in separate interviews, asking the same questions, chronicling their entire professional relationship.
Another fun episode would be the Jim Herd years of WCW and how badly he damaged WCW's product back then.
I don't know if there is enough material for an episode but the scissors incident between Sid and Arn Anderson would be interesting.
If they want to go with a couple of more recent happenings they could do CM Punk vs the EVPs or the NDA scandal with Vince McMahon.
Another great episode idea would be on Hulk Hogan and his backstage politics through out his career.
Maybe an episode about the rash of early deaths in late 90s... Crash Holly, Louie Spicolli, Hawk, Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, etc.
I totally agree. It really wasn't very interesting. Just the typical junky wrestler story.
That GAT excuse has to the lamest and corniest excuse Ive ever heard in my life. You might as well say the drugs put themselves in you lol.
GAT bro!
nope, god is a true piece of shit that absolutely plays favorites. assholy has fucked me up the ass sans lube for damn near 60 years. fuck you god for this world and fuck you god for my life
He's not the GAT, he is the GFT. God's Favorite Trainwreck.
We're the Midnight Rockers Shawn and Marty. We love to wrestle, we love to party ... Wrestlerock.
The thought of "way down yonder on the Chattahoochee" playing while a George A. Romero zombie rising from the river covered in seaweed had me rolling.
Poor Marty eeeeeshhhhh i remember he was my hero . I liked him over Shawn when i was a baby . Looking back Shawn was indeed the better choice Vince definitely had an insight we didn't see .
I believe I mentioned this in the Dark Side of the Ring comments, Marty was the technical side of the Tag Team. Shawn as Vince would say was the sizzle vs Marty's steak.
I like how so many things happened in the WWF due to Corny making a sarcastic remark that wasn’t meant to be taken seriously but ended up being taken seriously.
Just like trump
Marty seems like a blast. I loved the part where he borrowed a cops scooter in India and knocked someone into a fountain.
That was hilarious
I was like "No... Who does that?" LOL
From the outside looking in he seems like a blast, but if we had to put up with his stupid antics everyday it would get tiresome.
I just got a kick out it coz it was so retarded and recorded on a 90s camcorder haha so funny
Just another of Marty's lies
Marty going through the Glass is literally my first memory that I can remember of pro wrestling
Marty Jannetty, God's Bemusement Toy
Al Snow as a "talking head".
How about that? 🤔
WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?
@@zlinedavid COMMENTARY!

44:10 how would the Chattahoochee River story get him booked? Well of course now he would be known as The Rocker, the guy that kills people with a literal Rock!
Gave him a literal Rocker Dropper
best season of vices dark side by far. this season redeemed prior seasons lackluster stories. hope they keep these coming.
Yeah but the other seasons had better more memorable episodes like the new Jack episode or Chris Beniot or even Owen hart . This season has been ok but no massive stories imo
This season was ok, but the Marty Jannetty episode was terrible. Who the heck gives a crap about Marty Jannetty. Even the people in the episode besides Al Snow were all washed up nobodies who even in their prime were nobody, lower tier midcard wrestlers. With Marty its always everyone else fault but his.
No. Just no mate
@@johnboydojo the actual dedication to making stories not so well known interesting is why this is the best season.
@@titansrule72well that's your opinion man and you're entitled to it but I disagree. Each to there own. I still think Season 2 was the best.
As soon as a wwf tag team was given "new", it was doomed:
The new rockers
The new blackjacks
The new foundation
The new midnight express
Yeah, Dark Side left out Marty Jannetty working with Kurt Angle. It was tied to Angle's feud with Shawn Michaels. Kurt even sang a parody version of Shawn's music "Marty Jannetty.. still can't walk... I'm just a sexy Kurt..."
Was hoping they'd cover it.
TIL that Al Snow was forever regulated to the midcard because Bruce Prichard couldn't stop kneecaping him trying to pop Vince. That is such a waste and a reminder of why I never like Bruce.
Jim Cornette talking about wrestling history is literally art a true historian
Preach ☝🏼
If Mike Chioda has a podcast on food hes had while touring, it 100% has to be called 'One for the Road'
Marty Jannetty was such a great wrestler better than Shawn at first but he was his own enemy. You might love or hate HBK but even he was probably tired of bailing out Marty for all the stupid shit he did. The fact that even in 00s he still got it but his demons got the best of him is pretty sad. It was good to see that Shawn tried to help Marty out in the end.
Shawn never bailed Marty out. Shawn kept Marty down. Shawn had a bigger problem than Marty. Shawn was tge golden boy tho
@@michaelhauser6440Shawn got Marty rehired a couple of times.
@michaelhauser6440 Shawn had problems, but was functional. Marty was out there getting arrested every time something good was gonna happen to him.
One of the only channels where I listen to every single minute in a hour post. It's all gold.
Piper bashing Superfly with Coconuts was pretty violent
"Ricky and robert went for the highschoolers..."
Not the best way to phrase that jim
Bobby Heenan commentary made it more memorable!
40:48 that daughter situation sounds like a Vince storyline 😂
My ex has hung out with Marty a few times. She's met several wrestlers through convention channels and says that he's cool but often seems out of it. The morning after he met her he called her hotel room to ask if she'd give him a ride to the airport because he got fucked up and missed his ride. Never change, Marty.
Your ex slept with Marty Janetty
@@MrShanester117 Nah, she's married and not the type to sleep around but she nonetheless interacted with him quite a bit a few years ago. They were both at the same conventions (he was there for wrestling stuff, she was the cohost of a local rockabilly horror movie show). She's a really bubbly girl, she probably just struck up a conversation and he loved the attention. He said that he had to put her on his "ho phone" so his girlfriend wouldn't find out.
The lines to "Sexy Kurt" reminds you that they brought Marty Jannety back for Kurt vs HBK.
Paul Diamond is alive and well. He's a Facebook friend of mine. Still talks about wrestling all the time.
When I heard about the story that he made a man disappear, I thought it was the origin of the Invisible Man gimmick.
😂😂😂
Marty Jannetty also had a good amateur wrestling background.
One of my dream matches that never occurred was Marty Jannetty vs. Brad Armstrong (R.I.P) or a Marty Jannetty & Brad Armstrong tag team duo, which either could have happened in late 1999/ early 2000 WCW.
You have dreams about matches between no-charisma undercard guys?
That would be a good match.
@@TomBerishaj I more of Pro Rasslin fan than Pro Sports Entertainment fan. I remember when a guy would work an arm bar in ring for 3 minutes. Mat wrestling and catches catch can is what Pro Wrestling is about. Not about a promo of how many flips a person can do.

I could be wrong, but when Missy introduced herself as Beefcake’s manger, I took that a bit more literally. As in she manages him in real life - she books his public appearances, manages his travel, accommodation etc. I didn’t take it to mean she ever managed him in the ring.
I’ve been waiting for this one, sir! 🤣😳
That police scooter ride lmfao
This episode of dark side of the Ring was both crazy and absolutely insane all at once can't wait to see what topics get talked about on season 5.
Not to mention if you watched it via UA-cam, it would repeat through the beginning.
Joey Ryan, Velveteen Dream, Marty Scrull, Lars Sullivan, Jimmy Havoc; that’s 5 shows right there
@@wilcee238😂😂 definitely
@@wilcee238omg Lars Sullivan I think all wrestling fans need closure from that saga
@@williammitchell4417I watched it on Vice TV
Marty Jannetty almost got his ass kicked by Ray Stevens. Marty was in San Jose, CA in the early 90s for a WWF show and all but threatened Ray Stevens (who was in his mid 50s) in the locker room. Apparently, Ray was working as an agent at the time, and he questioned Marty who was half asleep on being too f*cked up to wrestle. I guess Marty didn't like it and got in Ray's face, so Stevens ended up going to Vince McMahon to let him know he was going to knock Marty out in self-defense if necessary. Ray didn't want to get in trouble with Vince if something bad happened, and Vince told him to do what he had to do. Marty wisely calmed down.
8:45 Jim actually forgot about The Southern Rockers aka WWF's Well Dunn(Rex King and Steve Doll)
Damn, Marty's foot looked like a pack of hot dogs that were cooked in the microwave.
Four Rooms.... OUTTA NOWHERE!
Chopping fingers, getting paid, strolling out the door
karen looked like death
@8:13 "And Ricky and Robert, ya know, went for the highschoolers." PHRASING!
Marty’s new podcast was supposed to start and discuss the episode, The livestream looks to be cancelled now. Guess ole party Marty still can’t get it together. Lol. His Facebook is a blast to follow! If you’re interested he did HOURS of footage with Boston wrestling, Dan Mirade. It’s on UA-cam. Was supposed to continue but Dan passed away.
" Party With Marty".👍
I love Marty and had all kinds of sympathy for him. After his GAT promo i lost my sympathy
It was pathetic and as I mentioned, in addition to the obvious, seeing MJ lack of self awareness, development and maturation were among the saddest of them all. But, you can overcame your struggles if you really want to by having a good look at yourself, accepting personal responsibility and willpower (and people to support you). Have a good day.

Good lord... All these tag team names. This is why Jim is a historian. To keep up with all those tag team names and to be able to put faces to them.
I wish Corny would write it down and publish some books.
Last time I was this early Jim was still managing in WCW
I really only watch Dark Side of the Ring, so I can listen to Jim's review and know what he's talking about.
Like most things on vice it's pretty bad. Only sad part is dark side was actually good for a season or two but slowly got ruined cause on vice
This !
I've been waiting for this, let's go!
I quit maybe 10 years ago...but watched pro wrestling for between 25 and 30 years. Marty going through the glass was the most profound moment of that entire stretch. I loved the Rockers, Marty was my favorite of the two. When Hogan won, i experienced joy. When Ric Flair would cheat, i would get so angry. But only one time in that 30 years did i have my heart broken. Ill never forget it.
Marty isnt a pathological liar. He has that comedian trait of making up crazy bits for their entertainment and wanting people to play along for his entertainment
Exactly. And he’s a product of the 80s wrestling business. Working is engrained him.
Well, Roddy Piper once pulled Shawn aside in the locker room telling him he had a very bright future in his career and sees he would become a major star someday. In fact both Roddy and Marty told that story and it really upset Marty. Sometimes things happen for a reason, just look at how we got the Road Warriors? That happened because of one guy with bad habits - Matt Bourne - who ended up being fired and Arn became a Horsemen while Animal had Hawk to become a legendary tag team.
One of my favorite things recently is listening to Jim's response to the dark side of the ring episodes.
As a medical provider regarding the poorly explained state of janettys ankle, the most common assumption would be that he post-op infection that has likely colonized like waking up with a regrettable one night stand that keeps hiding in the closet everytime you try to get her out of your house(I explained it in terms Marty would understand). It would be safe to assume it either began as or has become a methicillin resistant staph. Many folks who were in gyms AS WELL AS anyone who was using needles without aeseptic techniques and precautions became colonized with mrsa in the late 90s-2000s. Throughout the 2000s it wasn't uncommon to have a dozen patients a night in the ER with mrsa abscesses and/or cellulitis. I have no doubt looking at that leg (and if I could see an X-ray I could tell you for sure) the has actually progressed to osteomyelitis, or in layman's terms the bones themselves are infected. This is why diabetics develop gangrenous extremities/ lose limbs. Even without being immunocompromised it's nigh impossible to ever completely eradicate the infection from osteomyelitis. I wish him the very best, but that leg is likely going to require amputation, or will end his life. One last thing, Bruce Pritchard comes across as the most underhanded, conniving, sniveling little worm who has made a livelihood as a parasite sucking blood mouth-latched to Vince's hemorrhoids. Its like a combination of bitterness that he couldn't be the big strong, cool brother like Dr. Tom and that lackey behavior that carves a niche by directing the tyrants anger while giving vince handjobs and stroking his ego. I don't see how there isn't more piss and vinegar amongst ppl for him like there is for Bischoff (as an example).
I think you are correct on all counts. MRSA in particular did not come to mind, but infection did, and the timeline aligns well, agreed. Good explanation
Cornette’s nickname for Bruce is “The Artful Dodger”, which says it all.
Marty worked on that ankle for so long that it actually at the ankle bone to foot was at 90 degree angle. What you saw was some post op procedure.
Just within the first 15 minutes, it was very apparent
Marty must have thought this was some sort of Biography
on how cool he is, and how cool his life was....
Someone should've informed him it was 'Dark Side of the Ring'
not A&E 🙄
It was attention. Any kind of attention. From anybody. For any reason.
Good enough for Party-Marty.
On big take from that episode is you really see Jims point RE size/ Marty and Shawn were considered smallish yet look at their upper bodies in those clips compared to the Bucs and Cole
Maybe the funniest thing I ever seen on Dark Side was the actual video footage of Marty crashing the bike in India 😂😂😂 we all knew a guy like Marty
I find it so crazy hearing about how Vince hated Al Snow. Growing up, I always remembered him as a great wrestler who then went over to being the star coach of Tough Enough, the WWE's reality tv show based around developing new talent. He was a guy so technically gifted in the ring, they said, "I want you to personally train our new talent"
