  • Solomonster has a full episode review for the Dark Side of the Ring season 4 finale on The World According to Marty Jannetty, including why The Rockers were fired after only two weeks in WWE, the incident with Chuck Austin being paralyzed in the ring, the vicious hotel room fight between Jannetty and Shawn Michaels, the Barber Shop Window incident, why their WrestleMania VIII match never happened, his short-lived WWE returns in 2005 and 2006 and the legal troubles that led to the end of both, and his Facebook tale about having "disappeared a man" when Jannetty was only 13 years old. Jannetty is one of the biggest cautionary tales in wrestling, a man who had the talent to be much more than he turned out to be.

    This episode was the gift that kept giving. Marty's GAT, Facebook, Mr. and Mrs. Beefcake, dating his sex therapy counselor, making a man "disappear." It just kept going and going. If Dark Side doesn't get renewed, what a way to go out on.

    First off, why did it take this long for Vice Dark Side of the Ring to finally have Al Snow as one of the interviewees. The guy is so knowledgeable about wrestling
    secondly, i loved what Al said at the end of the documentary. We all know that "Marty Jannetty" is basically a punchline now for the tag team guy who never became as big of a star as their former partner. But...how many people in wrestling would kill to have that level of success at a tag team level that Marty had for one time?

    It's's hard to take the claim that Marty's lack of push was due to Shawn playing politics seriously when you consider all the chances Vince him. Vince could have washed his hands of Marty for good after the first firing but kept giving him chances cause he clearly recognized Marty's talent.
    Had Marty kept his nose clean i don't think he would've ever been a main eventer besides his matches with Shawn but he could've been upper mid card for a long time.

Like the tale told in this review Hennig went to Vince months later and said what really happened.

    Been waiting for solomonster's review of this episode. I was a huge fan of The Rockers back in the day. It is frustrating to hear that Marty could never say no to drugs etc and if he had just packed it in early 90s we could have got that great WM 8 match. I didnt care at all for the el matador match and didnt care for the tatanka match shawn had at 8 and 9. Thought they were both average at best. RR 93 match they had I enjoyed and liked it. My fav thing about that ppv was the shawn vs marty match. And shawn throwing marty out of a window must have been the reason they did that barber shop stunt where the rockers broke up. But its frustrating Marty never sorted his life out and focused on work. Shawn was more of the driven one that was obvious but I beleive Marty could have been a world champion if he had sorted himself out early on and was smart about things and made the right decisions.

And how were they all able to still be in the business after that even though they never released all the tapes (only one can be seen). Bob Roop never reached the level to get to the national scene. Ron Wright was pretty much retired. Boris Malenko was on his way out. Only Bob Orton Jr & Ronnie Garvin reached that big level.
    Others include: MTV’ Tough Enough (someone else here brought up season 1 but I wanna know the entire 3 season run. Especially that girl in season 3. Or and Kelsey Grammer blocking them from living in the house next to his for season 3 and the city council member that had the nerve to ask if an IQ test was gonna be taken during the show), Daffney, Rob Feinstein being busted that caused the end of the ROH-TNA relationship the first time, Kurt Angle (come on. Perc Angle. You know you wanna hear more about it), The Sandman, Heroes of Wrestling, the American Wrestling Federation, Jerry Lawler’s case in 1993, Brutus Beefcake, Davey Boy Smith, the original run of WOW: Women of Wrestling, Jim Neidhart, and after hearing about Bash at the Beach 2000 there has to be one of the final days of WCW (mainly from when Russo first showed up in October 1999 to the final day). Oh yeah and the mass exodus of talent from All Japan to form NOAH

    I was a kid when Marty dove through the barber shop window to escape. I remember rooting for Marty Jannetty, because he was the good guy, and being mad at Shawn. I thought Shawn's career would go nowhere without Marty because Marty was clearly more talented. It wasn't until '94 that I became a HUGE Shawn Michaels fan. Shawn was accompanying Diesel to the ring for all his matches and was constantly interfering and I just became obsessed with him. He had personality and you could see it in everything, from the way he dressed to the way he cheated. I just loved him. He was great on the mic and great in the ring. He also looked good😍 Mid 90's Shawn was the hottest thing on legs.

    I hated listening to Marty's friends bad-mouth Shawn. I know Shawn wasn't perfect, but he recognized that he had made mistakes in the past and tried to rectify them when he turned his life around. That's why he reached out to Marty Jannetty and invited him to be baptized. Shawn was also responsible for getting Marty another chance with WWE. Marty admitted that in an interview, that Shawn likely talked to Vince to get Marty another chance, but then Marty ended up getting arrested again. Shawn is now a married man with kids, he doesn't owe Marty anything. He tried to get Marty another shot and Marty blew it. It's very clear how bias Marty's friends were. At least Shawn did the hard work of recognizing he had a drug and attitude problem, then working to correct it.

    To throw my hat in what I think could also be covered in future Dark Side of the Ring episodes:
    Pat Patterson and the Ring Boy Scandal - The infamous "Cream Team" lead by Pat Patterson where would ring boys were being solicited for s*x, Roddy Piper being a notable victim even going as far as to talk about his own encounter with Patterson with Kayfabe Commentaries.
    Muhammad Hassan - For the whole angle that aired the same day as the London Terrorist Bombings, and just how badly Hassan was treated. So badly in fact that after he was released, he never wrestled again but one time for one night only.
    Ludvig Borga - Looking at both his career in WWE and Finnish politics, Borga was a controversial figure to say the least.

    I'd like to see The American Dream Dusty Rhodes in Season Five. I'd like to see World Class as a whole in Season Five. I'd like to see The Road Warriors as a whole in Season Five especially since they are both gone. These programs cement what Dutch Mantel said recently. I'm paraphrasing of course but here goes. You don't want to know your hero's because you'll be disappointed. Look at the Rockers. You'd be disappointed. Sunny. You'd be disappointed. The Von Erick's. You'd be disappointed. The list goes on and on. I'd love to see you do a program on how McMahon treated people. The scores of people who were treated badly by Vince. Chyna would be one. I know substance abuse is a key factor but it seems HHH used Chyna and Vince ran with it. I don't know. Just a suggestion. Thank you for your programs. You do a terrific job.

    I truly believe that Marty could have been a successful wrestler with a long WWE career if he wouldn't have gotten in trouble with the law and had the mania match against Shawn. Look I doubt he was main title position but easily staying in the company and having a ic title run and always being there that you can have him competing for the ic title. Basically similar spot Christian cage had after breaking up with edge.

    I love how wrestlers will lineup to throw a guy under a bus. I’m not saying HBK is an Angel by any means but I don’t think in 1991 he was walking into Vince McMahon’s office and pushing guys like Hulk hogan and Ric Flair and Randy savage and the ultimate warrior to the side so he could have meetings with them. I know he’s done some shitty things, but in real life everyone’s done good and bad. I think the wrestling community both people in the profession and fans have this idea of taking people they don’t like personally, and just telling the bad stuff without telling any of the good stuff. Even wrestlers I really like do this. Marty was a hell of a talent, but the guy was a train wreck and that’s not the fault of Shawn Michaels. Hell Shawn, Michaels even tried to get him a job back after he came out of retirement in the 2000s and Marty is the only one that fucked that up to.

    17:31 - They couldn't have changed their policy too much. WHen the Hardy Boys popped up in the mid-90s, Jeff Hardy was able to lie about his age to get onto the shows, which could have also been a disaster if something bad had happened. Granted, I don't know for sure how much experience Jeff had at the time... but he was a teenager, and not quite yet of legal age.
