Former WWE Tag Team Champion, and one-half of the famous tag team The Rockers, Marty Jannetty was a guest on the Two Man Power Trip podcast, where he discussed his famous Barber Shop Window angle with WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels.
During the incident, there was a real window that was there along with two sugar (rigged) glass ones that Marty was scheduled to be tossed into. He discussed this matter further in the podcast. Below is a quote:
In case you didn’t know…
The split between the Rockers came on Brutus Beefcake’s ‘Barber Shop’, where Brutus interviewed the Rockers about their recent issues they were having. There were angles that had taken place to suggest the team was on the verge of splitting.
During the segment, it appeared that both Jannetty and Michaels worked out their issues when Shawn Michaels suddenly super kicked Jannetty, before sending him through the glass window of the barber shop set.
The heart of the matter
Marty Jannetty has been the butt of jokes when it comes to professional wrestling. When someone refers to you as the ‘Marty Jannetty’ it means that you were second best next to a Hall of Famer. He elaborated on how it made him feel in the same interview.
What’s next?
While Marty Jannetty is now retired from professional wrestling, Shawn Michaels made his feature film debut on January 20th, 2017 with the Resurrection of Gavin Stone, playing the character of ‘Doug’ the Mechanic.
Sportskeeda’s take:
Marty Jannetty will always be recognised as a tag team specialist. While the way he was treated since splitting with Shawn Michaels isn’t fair, HBK’s rise has more to do with how great he is rather than how bad Marty Jannetty is.
While he did have issues with drugs in his past, people around the professional wrestling industry will forever remember and respect him for his contribution to the industry. The Barber Shop window angle will forever be etched into our hearts and minds for however long we live.
