What if.... Marty Jannetty edition
So I was thinking. Marty Jannetty was probably never going to be a main event guy, but look back to 1993 and here was a guy who was relied heavily upon by the company (in between stints of being fired) to lift quite a heavy workload. He pretty much delivered all the time.
If Marty could have kept his fucking shit together, what would have become of everyone's 2nd favourite Rocker? I honestly think he could have been a main stay legend type and literally feuded with Shawn Michaels for almost his entire career he was THAT good. He just kept fucking everything up because he's a dumbass hick. He never would have been THE guy but he could have solidified the IC Title division. I honestly believe for all the talk that Vince didn't have much faith in him as a draw, if he was able to get himself under control I personally believe Vince liked him and would have used him a lot because he was a very likeable personality. I remember being a kid and fucking loving everything about him. White meat baby face fire personified and I mean that as a complement. You believed Marty 100 per cent as a babyface. What would have happened to Marty if he could have kept clean? Team Toxic 4 lyfe |

Never followed the guy, but did see some of their matches. I don't see why he couldn't have stayed in a mid card role if he stayed relatively clean?

Could also have been like Jericho and be a reliable hand for building future stars had he stuck around a bit longer or his final years in the WWE went differently. Maybe he could have played a meaningful role in the rise of Stone Cold prior to the Austin-Hart feud. |

He would have been the Brutus Beefcake to HBK's Hogan... only instead of being there for an awesome rise of a legend, he would have been an iron ball tied to Shawn's ankle.

Marty was supposed to be the one to break out for a long time. His problems though were so terrible.
Marty would have faded away in the Attitude Era. He just didn't have that "it" factor that Shawn did |

Marty Jannetty would have been remembered as better than Shawn Michaels. Because he was. And a multiple time WWE Champion.
