Greg is a great story teller he should write a book. I want an OG chain like that too!

[@Scorch1028]

The Rocker Dropper is not a move from the top rope. The move involves one of the Rockers spiking his opponent’s head on the mat. That move failed because Chuck Austin didn’t know how to protect himself.

[@SonicandTheTailsbrothers]

Hammer interviews are great. He always tries to take high road with his fellow wrestlers and when he does criticize it is usually justified

[@CarolinaWrestlingShow]

Geg was an awesome wrestler back in the day.

It wasn't an accident off the ropes marty gave him the rocker dropper and the guy Chuck Austin took the move totally wrong it wasn't marts fault

[@John.Flower.Productions]

Marty Jannetty DID NOT PARALYZE ANYONE.
Chuck Austin paralyzed himself.
Watch the video and ask yourself:
"What does Marty have control of?"

[@davidmitchell6873]

Sad fanboy. Its still real to you damm it.

[@mattvdh]

It was chucks fault but the rockers shouldn't have continued. Marty flipped him over after chuck said he can't feel anything and shawn did a finishing move off the top ropes while he had a broken neck. I don't think there was any foul play at hand, but the rockers should've seen that he was injured and stopped the match.

[@johnmp3828]

I thought it wasn’t off the rope. It was a rocker dropper and Chuck didn’t tuck his head right
Maybe 15 minutes into the shoot Greg will be sufficiently warmed up

Pop!

[@shaynewest8757]

Or maybe because he's actually got a life he doesn't remember every minute detail like you losers.

[@adamwirth1723]

I love listening to Greg talk, but this is terrible. He’s trying to answer the question but clearly has no idea what he’s talking about.

[@pro42opureblood]

false, it wasnt a move off the top rope..

[@BEEyonced]

What a bunch of senile bla bla bla
Nothing insight at all.

[@lylesommers5018]

MJ did that move his whole wrestling career without seriously injuring anyone, it’s a shame what happened but chuck Austin should not have been anywhere near a wrestling ring.
