Marty Jannetty is not at the top of his game

[Hoss]

From this week's Wrestling Observer:

Marty Jannetty, 52, is in really bad shape these days. He worked a show in Orlando on 7/28 against Steve Corino and his ankles were so bad that his feet turn out sideways and the inside of his ankles almost touch the ground when he walks. It really looks bad. He needs surgery on both ankles in the worst way. In the ring, he mostly just tries and talks his way through, and works in a jersey. A few years ago when he was on the indies he was still giving good matches. He then no-showed a CHIKARA show the next night in Everett, MA.

From f4wonline.com today:

Marty Jannetty did a rambling post, but his general point is his ankles are shot from 20 years of dropping off the top rope to the floor, and he noted WWE is still making money off his matches, but he's hurting bad, so bad he puts a milk jug next to his bed because it hurts so much to walk to the bathroom and complained WWE will take care of Tammy Sytch after going to jail but won't help him. He asked if he needs to get messed up on pain meds before he can get help. He said he asked WWE before he wrote it. Then he ripped on Shawn Michaels and Dawn Marie, saying Dawn Marie releasing that his ankles were shot cost him bookings.

how the fuk do ur ankles touch the ground i can't imagina that, that shyt sound horrific.

 

[Metta World Movement]

I can't feel too sorry for this dude.

From what little I've read about him, he has fukked up damn near EVERY SINGLE chance given to him during his career, especially in the 'E

I personally remember 2 separate times when he returned to the 'E, was given significant matches and TV time (with HBK, no less), yet was still abruptly fired for some shyt he did

I still wish him better health, though

Then he ripped on Shawn Michaels and Dawn Marie, saying Dawn Marie releasing that his ankles were shot cost him bookings.

I understand a man needs work but maybe, if you can't even get up to take a piss, you shouldn't be taking bookings in the first place.

Bobby Heenan: "Jannetty tried jumping through that window to escape! What an act of cowardice!"

 

[StatUS]

I blame Corino.
