- Marty Jannetty on Chuck Austin Paralyzation Incident
WWE Legend and one half of the legendary "Rockers" Tag Team Marty Jannetty talks about the infamous situation where WWE enhancement "extra" talent Chuck Austin was paralyzed due to taking a "Rocker Dropper" from Marty wrong due to not being properly trained to wrestle which led to a major lawsuit against the WWE & Jannetty where Austin was awarded $26.7 million of which Jannetty reportedly had to pay $500,000. The WWF reportedly appealed the ruling and eventually settled out of court for $10 million.

Looks like Marty's been........Thunderstruck
LMAO!!!
Haha he's Back in Black.
FIRE!
😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂
He does these shoot to thrill interviews for our enjoyment and enlightenment
I swear i like Shawn but I rooted for Marty. He was my dude as a kid....
The brief feud they had for the IC Championship was good. Marty beat HBK twice for the belt
Brett Hart was my favorite as a kid. One half of the Hart foundation. Tag teams were awesome back then.
To me Marty was a better performer than Shawn. Shawn could make better promos and wouldn’t mind sucking Vince or Pat off.
I could've kept rooting for Marty too - Shawn was always a better worker with more natural charisma, but Marty wasn't far behind early on. But he opted not to take his career seriously, and not embark on that next step he should've taken in a breakout singles career. He kept living like it was 1989, and made no serious effort to be more professionally focused and more of an adult. That's terribly sad for a guy with great talent and potential in his rather short-lived hey day.
Ricky and Robert from RnR Express had very similar problems. They are basically what the Rockers would've been if Shawn too, lacked ambition/focus. The minds of many of these men never truly evolved past the 1980s, youthful party life. They really believed the ride would never end.
But with all that said, I can completely understand the obligatory "Marty>Shawn" comments that show up in virtually every discussion about him. It just makes SO much sense to be preferential toward the guy who still hasn't cleaned up his act, and amounted to very little in his career and life (does he even have a family?). Right on.
Marty is 100% accurate. Watch the match and you'll see the guy was too excited and jumped his ass up too high
He had no idea what he was doing correct. WWE was negligent putting him in there without seeing his skill level but the guy obviously lied to get the job.
So? Dude doesn't deserve any compensation?
@@Steve.bennet Based on the waiver he signed alone, no.
Bigdaddyc 1987 Chuck Austin didn’t deserve crap. He completely blew the move & was the only one that did anything wrong.
THE HANNIBAL TV Agree.
Never knew Brian Johnson from ACDC was a wrestler
lmaoo
Dirty deeds done dirt cheap
FIRE!!!!
Dude. Lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He seems high or drunk as hell.
Probably both, in fairness.
No shit.
@@Turnheadcough
So then he's a sober drunk, that's cool bro. I like it 😀
Who gives a fuck if he is?
@@TheSands83 pretty sure he do
Marty was naive but his heart was in the right place. Decent guy. Hope he gets the medical help that he needs.
Heart in the right place? Absolutely. Proof? He publicly considered sleeping with a young woman after finding out that she was, in fact, NOT his biological daughter. But good-hearted Marty, despite how "#^@$ING HOT" he thought she was, decided against it, for after all, "she's been daughter".
Yeah, poor Marty.
Martys humanity shows throughout this video. What i take from this clip is his acknowledgement of different opinions regarding the incident and his responsibility as a performer during the event. I hope he finds peace.
I met marty at an Admiral game in Milwaukee in feb 2018. He was REALLY drunk at the autograph table but at the same time, he was really nice to me. It was an honor to meet him, but he really needs help :(
Drunk painkillers xanax coke all that
So a happy drunk.
he must need help if your happiest memory of meeting him he was visibly drunk at a " "PROFESSIONAL" Meet and Greet".
You can tell it still haunts Marty.
Marty Drinks to Forget Chuck Austin's Pain.
I must have missed the part where Marty accepts some responsibility for rolling a guy with a broken neck. Chuck, the WWE and yes, even Marty... are all partially to blame here.
Bro WTF?
I wouldn't raise my leg and let them KISS MY FEET!!!!! 💯
Dude it was dumb to roll him, but this was the kayfabe or die days. He shouldn't have moved him but in no way is he responsible for a dumbass with no experience lying his ass off to get in the ring, then causing his own injury by getting over excited and fuckin up the move. That idiot caused it all himself.
Especially after Chuck told him he couldn't move...
Think I just found dd p yoga next project
Haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😂😂
He looks to be in pretty good physical condition for his age
What do you mean? Marty's a drug accdict
bingbangboozygetinthejacuzzi and tobacco use
Marty is 100% on at the end in his rant about wwe needing to pay for the hospital bills of wrestlers. Gave me goosebumps a little when you see the fire in eyes about it,
Marty is a good guy, you can still see that guys injury still gets to him more than the money side of it .
Damn!Watching these guys makes me miss the 80's & early 90's of WWF wrestling.
If you watch the video the guy spiked himself exactly the way Marty described it, the guys should never have touched him when he was hurt though.
Marty spitting straight facts about the American justice system. Damn. Wasn't expecting to click on this video and hear that tbh, lol.
Let this and the mass transit incident show that, Don't lie or oversell your abilities or lack there of!
The difference being Marty isn't an insane, murderous piece of shit with a blade, like New Jack.
Not saying I disagree with your comment though. Just that New Jack made that situation SO much worse BECAUSE of the kids inexperience.
@@raceblakhart4941 Yeah New Jack crazy. That's a great lesson to never let anyone else blade you as well
Seems like you ever watched "My Name is Paul Heyman." His entire career was built of his ability to exaggerate his skills and somehow succeed
Chuck said he has 6 months experience, wwe shouldn’t have hired him
Can't wait for the full shoot 👍🏻
I don't think the WWF lost the lawsuit because he got injured. I think they lost because of the neglect of putting someone that inexperienced in the ring without vetting his credentials.
Notice how after the incident, it was damn near impossible to debut in WWE without proving yourself in other territories first.
Well, both of the Hardys jobbed to members of the Kliq when they were like 16 only a few years after this lmao. They were literal backyarders at that point
The hardys were also 160 pounds and knew how to land at least.
Jeff was 16 when he jobbed to Scott Hall. He wasn’t vetted properly.
There's a good guy beneath all of the personal issues.
“He lied on the stand.... so did Shawn”
Cocaines a hell of a drug. Marty letting it all out.
Im rick james bitch
The reason he was sued is primarily for what happened AFTER when this idiot flipped him over doing more damage even though he knew the guy broke his neck......notice he left that part out.
Ya he should've just pinned him there, Vince would've understood.
Wait, no he wouldn't have.
Impossible to know if he heard Austins claims that he was hurt. He may have had no idea the dude was hurt, or hurt that bad.
@@jackburton2680 watch the video it was obvious he was dead weight when there was resistance turning him over if he wasnt injured he would have just rolled. Shawn proceeded to hit him with a headbutt to the sidesection from the top turnbuckle and the follow up pin hooked the leg
He speaks the truth. Marty was never to blame for this. His only responsibility was to know the guy he was about to wrestle, and had never met before, was qualified. But Chuck way overstated his ability to everyone, and the WWF didn't screen him or check him out. They also failed to have enough medical crew on standby to get Chuck help sooner, as he laid on the mat for some 20 minutes.
Those 20 minutes don't matter. His bones/spine got damaged from unlucky fall. He continued to breathe. Only lung/heart failure the first minutes count to survive to get this back to work! It's all rescue crews are trained for stabilizing heart/air cycle! It's not he danced the Macarena shaking his Bon-Bon afterwards to worsen it!
He was totally to blame.
He shouldn't have moved him after his neck broke and threw Michaels on top of him, that's why they lost
Exactly there is no excuse for this, people are unbelievable own tf up..🙏
Back then they protected the business so he didnt know what to do other than to do finish n pin . Only thing I could thing of is somehow if the ref knew and he could of stopped it due to injury .
I watched the clip back and Marty was right. You can see how when Marty jumped, the guy held Marty in the air for an extra 2 seconds and instead of immediately pancaking, he dropped his head literally almost like he was taking a DDT. Almost looked like he hesitated taking Marty’s move. You can pause that clip and edit in Jake Roberts in the DDT position,and that guy would be in perfect position for the DDT.
Well said Marty I agree with what you said about the justice system its a damn joke!!!
I love Marty but in this interview he sounds like " Buffalo Bill , "Put the lotion in the basket...."
"Was she a great big fat person?"
Buffalo pill
Marty conveniently leaves out that he turned the guy’s lifeless body over to finish the match after his neck was broken. Who knows how much more damage that did to his spine. That’s why he was probably held responsible
Exactly. It's actually common in these tapes of people being fucked up in the ring.
The wrestlers don't give a fuck, just want to get over with the fans at any expense.
I worked out with Mr. Austin 3 days a week before this happened. This guy is a total pice of shit.
@@michaelleonard2292 In what way?
I wish I hadn't seen that, but I can't unsee it. Knowing his neck is broken and see him get callously flipped over like that is one of the worst things I've ever seen
Damn, he really looks like a broken man. It’s hard to see him like this.
Marty has one of the biggest hearts of all wrestlers. If the World was like him it would be a better place, yeah he parties but, he’s got a big heart. Good on you Marty, You’re a Good ole boy!! Next time I head to Arkansas to visit my folks, I’m buying the beer! I know that accent, you got to be close.
IF MARTY had and GOD D4MN sense he'd be A MANAGER or A PROMOTER but he likes to Drink TOO MUCH.
I used to love the rockers ,and seeing Marty fly high 9n the ring and there music was awesome ,so much it inspired me to bring my room alive I played wrestling with my teddy bears and big snake ,I thought I was my own hero.
I saw this in a review episode, and seeing Jannetty flip over the guy with a broken neck is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen. This probably made it 100 times worse and guaranteed he'd be paralyzed. Why didn't they just stop when he couldn't move?
Once Marty did the rocker buster ,he new That guy got hurt go Whatch it ,you can see it in Marty,s face ,they should of stopped then and he kept going.
@@__-wm9lu Well I did, told as a kid in junior Football
Flipping the guy over did absolutely nothing more to the neck. You can see he was already completely paralyzed from the initial move. The slight movement of his head and neck from being turned over wouldn't have made anything worse.
@@muccmaster ...Be quiet.
@@muccmaster Just shut up you know shit
Good to hear marty talk about this👍👍
No Janetty you dont have anything to apologize for doing the right thing
I’ve done independent professional wrestling for over 13+ years and Chuck Austin lied about being trained and having ring experience. That was a easy simple bump, never before have I seen someone just show up and say I’m trained and have experience. You 99% of the time show proof or video of it. It was WWF/E fault for putting a FAN and or back yarder in that ring, NOT Marty Jannetty’s . He signed a waiver. The case should have been thrown out. Every time I work for a new promotion I have to sign a waiver or I don’t work
marty should write a book. it would sell.
He’s doing one now with sports illustrated
You can just put a New Book Cover on the AC/DC Biography NO ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE 🤣🤣🤣
So Chuck Austin lied about his experience, lied that he was familiar with the move, didn't put in an effort to try the move before the match, took the move wrongly and got paralyzed due to his own mistake, and sues someone else for his own mistake? WOW!! I wrestle for a small promotion, and I always make an effort to try all the moves we planned even if it was something I was familiar with. Marty seems like such a nice and genuine guy!
You don't move someone with a spinal injury. That's where Marty messed up.
OK, but Marty stopped the story before he got to the part where he does share some of the blame. Yes, it was Chuck Austin's fault he broke his neck because he lied and took the move wrong. Definitely. Notice this is where Jannetty stops the story - but watch the video itself, there's a bit more. After Austin broke his own neck, Marty Jannetty then rolled him over while Chuck Austin was telling him his neck was broken and he couldn't move. They guy was clearly dead weight, but Jannetty horsed him over anyway. Then Jannetty tagged Michaels in to jump on him and pin him. It was mostly Austin's fault, but you can't just ignore the part where Jannetty was negligent and moved a guy with a broken neck and cared more about getting the finishing move in than minimizing the most serious injury a person could have.
When you look at the footage you can tell the guy injured his damn self….. wwe should have never put Chuck in the ring… especially with advanced guys
The hell with WWE you don't owe them anything you was speaking FACTS man they should pay for your ankle
Totally agree.
Totally fucked up how WWE doesn't pay for healthcare. Janetty was right, all WWE had to do was pay the damn medical Bill. But they ended up paying out $30,000,000, instead, to Chuck Austin.
When you hear both accounts, Marty appears to be the liar
No he wasn’t. Watch the video. Took it terribly.
He's a liar. When Chuck was down, they KNEW his neck was broken. When he rolled him over, his head twisted, and all the nerves got stretched and pulled and that caused more damage than the neck break. These people are very, very evil...🔥
I get what Jannetty is saying, and a point could certainly be made that Austin was dumb as a block of wood, but at the same time, the guy had to live with the consequences of being crippled for the remainder of his life...most of us on here can't even come close to imagining what it must be like to not be able to go to the bathroom or feed yourself without help. But Austin knows.
This is why I don’t like Hulk Hogan! It was so f*cked up that he pretended to have a neck injury (and even wore a neck brace and “worriedly” asked for someone to call his family) after Undertaker gave him a tombstone, all because he was jealous of Undertaker’s popularity! Undertaker is one of the safest wrestlers and he executed the tombstone perfectly and all the backstage WWE personnel had to show him where Hogan lied and faked his injury. What an a**hole move!!!
homeboy start lifted Marty into the air as he was winding up to take the move like a spike ddt...it wasn't martys fault at all.
Theres a philosophy in this, when Marty says he doesnt give a shit anymore, he has nothing to lose and tells the truth. Money is the root of all evil.
Austin tried to dive through the canvas to escape, what an act of cowardice
Haha, classic Bobby.
Are you blind?
Will you stop!?!
LOL underrated comment!
Prayers for everyone involved.🙏🤍🕊
Marty J. seems very genuine in his interviews no matter how he's stammering and whatnot I believe he's telling the truth in his story telling.
He hasnt been in the wwe and he still feels Bad for breaking kayfabe thats insane super loyal
@@orlandoyero7151yea, I think that’s a big part of the weird delivery he has. I’m sure meds or drugs has a part in it, but a lot of it is him being so naive thinking he’s still outting the business.
The WWE flushed millions down the toilet with stupid business ventures, they were stupid enough to not pay for this dude's hospital bills so he sued them...wich was way more expensive for them, and everyone who asks nice gets a few rehabs. But they can't pay a few thousand bucks for people who worked their asses off for them and need surgery like Marty here. 40.000, that's peanuts for the WWE. And even if they would pay all the medical bills for ALL former employees, that still would be peanuts for them...
Yes, they do something for a good cause every now and then, like Make A Wish. But they could to way more than that, especially for former employees.
Apparently xfl and wwf new york was worth the millions wasted.
Whatever you might think, it was Dirty Deeds....and they were done dirt cheap
Money Talks
Accident happens, but at the moment the Guy said i'm Hurt, my problem it's Marty didn't care, continued, rolled the Guy and sendend Shawn on. I'have à problem when someone say stop and you continued
He was my absolute favorite, it’s sad to see his self destruction. He’s clearly not gotten over his addiction issues.
@@Turnheadcough those are drugs i quit painkillers and Now i'm on xanax this shit aint cool
@@Turnheadcough bro stop defending him he snorts cocaine with three hands and has been doing it since the 80s. Painkillers is one thing but cocaine that’s some drug addict shit he needs help
What do you mean "give him a break" moron? His comment was perfectly fine. Learn how to use a full stop too christ.
You could tell through out the match Austin had no idea how to work. The way he was bumping etc.
@@booty121212 There is no comparison. New Jack basically tried to kill the boy. There was no ill will in the other incident.
richard french his punches were absolute trash, too
Then THE PRO should have NOT put Moves on him that he wasn't up to doing, if Marty IS the PRO then The PRO should have hit the brakes and SAVED the Jobber FROM HIMSELF.
@@DamianMongoose except the jobber told Marty Jannetty before the match that he was trained and knew what he was doing and that he took the rocker a bunchh of times. So try again lol
@@richardfrench6556 don't come crying to me when someone you care about gets hurt doing a job for Marty "Neck Breaker" Jannetty.
Hope he gets himself better and back in the day when he went through the barber shop window he could of had a amazing feud with Shawn I think a grunge type more dark rocker would of been a good gimmick for him against the flamboyant Hbk would of been brilliant
The rockers were some of my favorites as a kid. If that guy lied about his experience that’s dangerous to everyone in the match. Still I wouldn’t hope for that to happen to anyone. One thing that in my opinion is true is Marty’s opinion on the justice system. My heart hurts for Marty when he got told he couldn’t check on Chuck and send gifts.
Without passing judgment, for the record, Austin had only been training SIX WEEKS before getting a WWE call up...he remains the only major injury Jannetty caused...maybe it was a lack of training/experience
Jannetty didn't cause it, Austin did it to himself.
Odd Jannetty, had a bad drug history but he aged better than Michaels.
Marty is five years older than Shawn.
@@chriswheeler2069 I think it's 3 years age difference. Wasn't Marty born in 1962?
@@radrich4873 Nope. Feb. 3, 1960.
@@jennyn5692 thank you Jenny. I guess I should have done my homework!
Michaels was just as bad or worse addict as Jannetty
Since Mr. Austin was an independent contractor and he flat out told them he only had 6 mos. in the business I would think they should have practiced a few times that move.
All of Marty’s thumbnails, he’s smiling....seems like a fungi to hang out with
A fungi, indeed.
Race Blakhart he meant a fun gay
Wow Marty Jannetty is really messed up on alcohol or drugs in this interview. Sad part a wrestler was injured and Jannetty's laughing making a joke out of it. He definitely needs help for sure. Best thing ever happen was WWE letting him go and Shawn Michael's career skyrocketed without him. After watching this interview, I lost all respect for Marty Jannetty.
I never get people arguing that it was WWE's fault because they didn't check Austin's experience. Taking a Rocker Dropper is falling flat onto your belly....for fuck's sake I can do that without any experience whatsoever...Austin did a fucking head dive into the mat...
Looks exactly like Brian Johnson and Angus Young simultaneously here lmao
Bret Hart's Book ( Hitman ) Said The Settlement Was 26 Million.
There were TWO lives ruined that day. Chuck's AND Marty's.
I feel so bad for Marty, its obvious that this unfortunate accident started him on a downward slope that he never recovered from, to this day.
sue marty? how about sue the guy who let chuck in the ring with no real training
How about sue no one since Chuck's lie about being able to take the move caused the whole thing to begin with?
Guy had no business being in a ring. Not Marty´a fault
Marty was TOO SHORT to do this move on Taller Guys, Marty is JUST as at fault as Chuck Austin for the Botched Move.
Your shoot interviews are the best. Great work. I hope I get the chance to see you wrestle live Mr. Hanibal. I really respect your work ethic and your attitude. I hate to be a "smart fan" but nowadays you really have no choice. I truly miss the days of kayfabe. If I see you working as a heel I will give you the heat you deserve and boo the hell out of you. This is how I feel I can respect the work of pros like you in these days of(sadly) "mandatory" smart fan BS.
This is a HUGE reason behind Marty's current problems. You can tell it has ate at him all these years. He feels responsible for something he had no control over. I hope he finds peace soon, before he becomes another statistic.
Don't by it for a second. Marty had problems with substance abuse WAY before that incident
The difference is Marty was devastated financially for life because of this accident he had least control over! Whenever he earns a few buck most all get transferred to Chuck Austin. I think it were 5 million. Marty earning 100.000 a year in his best years minus tax, living and travelling. Not more than 10.000 over at the end of the year. And the system would try to pull 40.000 out of you until your last breath honoring the Law Verdict. It makes no sense to work. If you don't work you on food stamps 3rd World Living condition. For what being an athlete, entertaining kids, this Chuck dude himself wasn't well enough trained to wrestle.
The court verdict was as ridiculous just as locking Marty up for 20 yrs! Actually Marty would have been better off in jail and afterwards could somewhat rebounce even in a Security Job / Fast Food Job not going after each Penny you earn anymore.
The worst you can ruin one's soul is totally unfair ruining a person financially after working maaany yrs his ass off! You get delusional as there is no way out. If you have no loving supporting family you're doomed! It's a wonder he's even alive. No way has he deserved this destiny.
Marty was drinking like pretty much ANY man does.
Shawn was mad lucky to get fully away from this incompetent jury. And not be ordered to pay half Marty's: 2.5 million. Shawn couldn't give that amount away neither even if his career had skyrocketed the same afterwards for 15 more years! But of course it wouldn't have cause this shit is ruining your thoughts permanently. No way he could have pulled it off! However to still go on with this in the back of your mind shows you the entire crazyness of this bizz! These guys have little escape options just as Military veterans returning from War ending up homeless in the street. No-one gives a fukk!
The 28 million was a major verdict to pay for WWF back then to not struggle to bankrupcy, 3 million would have been fair enough. If Chuck had been paralyzed by some car accident from someone just not getting 500 bucks out of it'll be like that as well.
As addicted as he is and often hard to understand his mumbling (esp for Non-English Native Speakers!) he nails it 1000% crystal clear what most don't understand what the law system is about and at the very end of the clip how unfair WWF has not covered his million percentage from this fukk verdict as well.
Most esp with Vince's recent sexual misconduct settlements! How can Stephanie even appear in public? It would at least now be chump change giving Marty 5 million for the shit that ruined him for half his life and they are most responsible for... so that he even has a chance to rebounce in Pension life bis Last few years, not worrying foreclosure and homeless on the streets on the daily! One of the unsung tragedies ppl most marks are not even aware of cheaply dissing Marty. And for the record from start I was a Shawn fan. I started watching WWF late 1991!
Marty had HUGE substance abuse issues that pre-dated this tragedy. This probably made those issues worse, but this was definitely NOT the cause of his issues. Marty had been abusing drugs and alcohol way before he and Shawn entered the then WWF.
@@darrylskylar8757 I got news for you (in Shawn's TM phrase): EVERY Wrestler had... that's the fukkery of this industry!
In NFL it took 50 yrs to detect smth like Brain Concussion Aftermath Damage. Now compare to Wrestling bumping their bodies/heads on the daily without any protection. At steel cages, metal stairs, through commentary table, TV cameras and all. Maybe not with full speed but still overall way more brutal!
Now who are the dead wrestlers Iike British Bulldog and Ultimate Warrior while Marty and Shawn are at least alive. The image narrative is so ridiculous one sided, it shows the real parrot IQ of common ppl!
Having a financial 'incident' which is and will remain you broke for the remainder of your life will fukk any soul. Even with no drug issues ever before.
What makes you feel like it's eat at him all this time the way he's smirking and laughing when they ask him about it???
The scandal wasn’t the botched move. It was how The Rockers treated the guy after he was injured. He told Marty that he had a broken neck and they needed to stop the match - but because he was just a jobber, they ignored him, so they could get a clean finish. Which is ultimately what led to his paralysis. They were rolling him around and jumping on a guy with a broken neck
I love Marty Jannetty so much. He has always been the most real and relatable of the two Rockers and doesn't try and bullshit anyone. He's a genuinely good soul and also in my opinion, was a better overall wrestler than Shawn. I've seen MJ do things that Shawn never did; like the Top Rope Power Bomb. Marty is as old school as they come too. Even felt bad about giving information away about the finish to the Rockers Vs. Chuck Austin/Lanny Poffo match. He's very much still of the kayfabe era and I love that about him. Just awesome stuff from you guys, Hannibal!
I'd like to see a dark side ring episode based on this incident
I was thinking the same thing. An episode on jobbers would be really cool
This guy should come with subtitles ffs..
Marty is clean and sober in this interview.He is just an eccentric fun loving guy
he is definitely not sober here
He knew the guys neck was broken but it’s not like he could have done much different. The guy took the move terribly, and Marty wasn’t taking advantage of the guy in the ring. He just looks very green with no idea how to take a move.
Marty is chillin'.. He's being genuine.. Honest.. He is recalling the events CLEARLY.. he's showing remorse.. He's at peace with himself.. And yall worried that he had a 6 pack of bud light before the interview.. So what? Get ur own shit together.. Marty is good! And one hell of a wrestler!
Marty totally turned into AC/DC Brian Johnson
That guy is high as crap and has 30 years of drugs going through his veins...and still in better shape than me . Odd.
I can feel Marty's pain over this move that went horribly wrong, the man has a heart and it's hurt.
Vince needs to pay to get Marty's ankle fixed, thats the least he can do after the millions he made
off The Rockers!
Marty Twisted his ankle stumbling Drunk out of the Bar, why should anyone have to pay for that??
Marty seems hammered...but didn't accept responsibility for hurting the guy. Chuck has been in a wheel chair ever since
What I don't get is how come footage of this incident is widely available while the Droz incident footage is hidden under lock and key?
This incident was shown on TV, even when Austin said he was hurt, Marty rolled him over and continued the match. The Droz incident was never aired, the match stopped as soon as it happened.
The man said (I CAN'T ROLL OVER I THINK MY NECK IS BROKE) what the fuck is that tellin you ?? But you still rolled is ass over
Lol, it's funny how he still has reservations about speaking about the "business" like it's pre planned and staged. When everyone has known for years and years that it's all staged and for entertainment.
Sad to see the superstars of wrestling end up like this .. but this guys made lots of money during there day.. hoping the Wwe can help out - or someone make go fund me. To help him /
I like Marty, I wish he became as big as HBK. He's right WWE should pay his medical bills, shit Vince is a legit Billionaire, now we know why, ripping off older talent.
I liked it when he came back and helped against the spirit squad. It was cool.
This is one of the many reasons why WWE no longer uses jobbers.
There's a 100 percent chance Marty pooped on that red sofa
You can hear the pain in his voice over what happened to the guy and over how both of them were treated by a company that they gave everything they could.
Waivers don’t really hold up in court. You can’t sign away your rights in most cases. It might hold up if the fight was immediately stopped.
when you watch the clip, you known it’s all Austin’s fault
Yes, but Marty made it worse by moving him when the guy told him he was hurt.
Yeah but he kept going bro he was amped up too amped up to stop .🙏
I love Marty Jannetty...he is kool as hell...i would love to meet him at a meet and greet...
Marty Jannetty had to pay $500,000 to Chuck Austin.
We used to Rocker Drop each other back in the day for fun. Imagine how shit of a wrestler Chuck was...terrible.
I disagree with other posters, I think Marty is passing the buck and deflecting responsibility from WWE and himself. What is described is not a safe work environment and in my view the disclaimer deservedly means nothing. A dangerous move like that should have been practiced before the show, WWE should have checked Austin’s skills, there should have been doctor on site, there should have been a tap out signal etc. I don’t think Marty deserves the blame but he should be more understanding and sympathetic of what happened to Austin. From what is described there were some big issues IMO
Marty is freakin awesome. He looks like the guy next door you drink with on the weekends. He's also completely RIGHT!
Marty probably got sued for turning Chuck over after Chuck told Marty he couldn't move. Turning him over definitely made the injury worse and is most likely the reason for the permanent paralysis. Gotta get your shit in tho, right?
If I could ever run my wrestling federation again then Marty is booked! ❤❤❤
