Marty also had a played out gimmick and needed to reinvent himself to change with the times and he never did.

Early to mid 90s and he's still tryna be a Rocker. Not saying it woulda worked for him or that WWE woulda tried it, but if he had a gimmick like Raven he woulda survived, outside issues notwithstanding.
Apparently Marty + The Rock N Roll Express never got that evolve memo. I mean Ricky flirted with some shyt. But his old ass still out places tryin to act like its 82.

2nd half of the season >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the first half. It didn't drag like last season. Not bad considering we thought this show was done a year ago

The problem with last season is that Vice forced them to make more episodes than they wanted to, so they were scrambling for content. This season was much better organized and planned out since it was fewer episodes. Hopefully they can stick with this going forward.

I'd like to see an episode on Saturn or Raven at some point. They could also do an episode on Art Barr/Eddie Guerrero too.

Kinda disappointed the Mike Awesome story never happened.

I couldn't imagine Marty Jannetty being the guy who took off and became what Shawn was.
Every now and then i think about how it was VERY possible HBK ended up just as much of a :flabbynsick: trainwreck as Marty.

He had actually asked Sunny to move in with him back in '98 but she said no cuz she knew Chris woulda committed that...had Sunny taken him up on that offer, Shawn woulda been dunzo.

Marty is his own worst enemy, gotdamn. Chance after chance after chance, blown away.

I didn't need to see his swolen ankle nor her "forever girlfriend"'s black teeth :scust:

Big pop from me when they talked about his crazy ass Facebook posts.

"Mean" Mike from Disorderly Conduct :gladbron:

Disorderly Conduct were the GOAT WcW Saturday Night tag team, I have zero memory of them ever being on Nitro :mjlol:


Marty is the perfect example of why no one should ever step into the wrestling business:huhldup:

Like Bret said, Vince would have these guys step into the ring night after night, destroy their bodies, then take them out back and put a slug in the back of their heads. So many of these wrestlers now in their 60s, in wheelchairs, with not a penny to their name, with a laundry list of health and drug issues.

In all my years following wrestling, I never heard of that guy breaking his neck like that:huhldup:

and last, the fact that they had actual video footage of Marty riding a scooter in India :dead:
