We're real excited to finally get in stock The Marty Jannetty Story. We had
heard of this release several months back and placed a pre-order and now it is
here and available to purchase.
Now for those of you with short-term memory loss (or those who don't subscribe
to our blog, message board or mailing list), NWA Wisconsin had Marty wrestle NWA
Midwest Champion Silas Young at Season's Showcase, and we were fortunate enough
to be at the show and the post-show with Marty, which inspired us to pick up
this DVD set.
Again for those with short term memory issues, we posted an entry shortly after
the Season's Showcase card talking about Marty and how Marty is one of the most
personable wrestlers we have ever had the chance to meet, and he truly is a
"Rocker", since he was "Living After Midnight" with the NWA wrestlers and fans,
so if you were at that show, you should be the ones first in line to be picking
up this DVD set! Remember, if you get it at the show, you don't have to pay
shipping! (yay!)
The Marty Jannetty Story is a two-disc DVD set that tells the life story of
former WWE wrestler and one half of the (Midnight) Rockers tag team with Shawn
Michaels. Told by Marty himself, he addresses many controversial topics from his
WWE wrestling days and tells his version of the many stories that have
circulated about him over the years.
The Marty Jannetty Story is an emotional journey, as you follow Marty's rise to
worldwide fame as a member of The Rockers tag team in the WWF, share some of his
proudest moments, and also the tale of his decline from superstardom, his
personal problems, drug addiction, and a deep depression that leaves him on the
verge of suicide. But from the depths of his depression, Marty rises above his
personal struggle and finds his own redemption.
Besides behind-the-scenes and match footage of Marty at recent wrestling shows
that give a unique perspective into being a world-famous wrestler, this DVD set
also contains footage of Marty conducting a seminar and a training session at a
pro wrestling school. You will also see Marty visiting sites in his hometown of
Columbus, Georgia that were significant to his youth.
In a life that covers the full spectrum of human emotions, this is the true
story, in and out of the ring, of a professional wrestler who has entertained
audiences worldwide for over twenty-five plus years and counting.
In The Marty Jannetty Story you'll hear Marty talk about:
· Training to become a wrestler.
· The first time he met and the first time he tagged with Shawn Michaels and his
initial impressions of Shawn.
· The origins of how Shawn Michaels and Marty became The Midnight Rockers in the
AWA.
· The rise to fame of The Rockers in the WWE after initially being fired
twenty-four hours after their first match.
· The hotel room brawl between Shawn Michaels and Marty that ended with Marty
nearly being shot by a police officer and led to the end of the Rockers.
· A detailed discussion of the legal case that ensued after preliminary wrestler
Charles Austin suffered a broken neck during a match with The Rockers when Marty
performed the Rocker Dropper on Austin and he did not properly take the move.
· The behind-the-scenes friction between Marty and Shawn after their match at
the 1993 Royal Rumble that led to Marty being fired.
· Marty's struggles with drug addiction.
· The emotional tale of Marty's plan to commit suicide, his final plea to God,
and the unlikely saviour, his former tag team partner, Shawn Michaels, who
stopped Marty from ending his life and helped him find the courage to live.
...And there is a LOT more than that!
Now, this is a VERY limited edition, so we would suggest scooping it up ASAP!
Jannetty has an extremely long and successful career and this 2-disc set is an
absolute MUST for any fan of Marty or The Rockers. You have relied on Shadow
Fire Promotions to bring you the rarest and coolest in pro wrestling media and
memorabilia for over ten years now, and this definitely has our recommendation.
Obviously, this isn't available from your local video store, so picking this up

wrestling stuff.
This DVD set does not disappoint!
