Jannetty Signed.

[I-Hate-You]

from Meltzer's update today:

--After his performance on Tuesday against Kurt Angle, WWE has signed Marty Jannetty to a contract. It is not 100%, but he is expected to be on the Raw side and interact in some form with Shawn Michaels.

[Nervous Ferret]

:cool:

[DaveWadding]

Awesome shit.

[Innovator]

Jannetty, fuck yeah

[RemyRed]

:nono:

[Mike the Metal Ed]

YESSSSSSSSSSS. :D

[LK]

Quality

[Mayo]

Reuniting the Rockers will probably be much more successful than when they brought back L.O.D. :(

[Splaya]

Holy shit, this is hot

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>YESSSSSSSS</font>

[Altar of Helmsley]

Wonder how long that will be for.

It'll be interesting if anything

[Altar of Helmsley]

Knowing the wwe they'll put him on Heat as soon as the (likely) Rockers dvd has finished selling.

Hey it happened with Eddie and Benoit

[James Steele]

:love: :love: :love:


MARTY JANNETTY VS. CHRIS JERICHO!

[PullMyFinger]

Great, more reason why Raw is better than Smackdown!

[KayfabeMan]

OK, so team Marty with Shawn and have them demonstrate some tag matches.

Give 'em a good run, and then have Marty seek revenge on Shawn for the whole BS incident in the early 90's, as nothing ever really came of that whole deal. After that, Marty lands on HEAT, putting over various low/mid-card heels. At least he gets himself an additional Superstars action figure :)

[Kane Knight]

Sweet.

[PullMyFinger]

I would send Jannetty to SD! Then in the draft, throw Shawn in SD! too. Throwing Jannetty on Raw is just more proof that Raw is the flagship show and WWE is proud of it.

:y: Sounds right...

Except you forgot the part of him being fed to Randy.

BINGO :yes:

[Loose Cannon]

OMG, WILL THE ROCKERS FINALLY WIN THE TAG TITLES. :love:

Most deserving team ever.

[Gertner]

why?

[Loose Cannon]

Cause they put on 4-5 star match after match after match and never once won the tag titles. They were just in the best tag era of all-time unfortunately. Then you get to the mid 90's and have teams like the Body Donnas and Godwins winning Titles. WTF IS THAT?

[MVP]

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS :D

[AareDub]

Rockers vs Edge and Christian would be pretty sweet.

[John la Rock]

I'm predicting it now...

Sumemrslam 2005 THE BATTLE OF THE ROCKERS

:cool:

[Bad Company]

I'm so thrilled.

Fuck jannetty, they should of signed the ULTIMATE WARRIORRRRRRRRR!

[Boondock Saint]

Sweeeeet

[Gouda]

Nice.

Marty and Shawn win the tag titles... have a nice run when suddenly... Bam. Janetty throws him through... ummm... the Raw set. Janetty takes the mic, "How does it feel Shawn? How does it feel? This is what you did to me! We were on the top of our game when you put me through a window and used me to boost your own career to superstardom! Without me, you would be nothing! Well now it's time for me to claim my rightful spot as the REAL showstoppa!"

[Shaggy]

After reading that...am I the only one that thinks Jenetty will play some part in the Angle Vs HBK match at Mania. He will probably show up on Raw this week and everything will be fine and it will be like HBK and him are friends again but for some reason im expecting him to cheat HBK out at Mania.....which I hope doesnt happen because that could take one of the best matches we have ever seen and turn it into a horrible thing because of an ending.

[Shadow]

Lordy...this is great news for the tag team division.

Seriouslly, reunite the Rockers and use them to revitalize your tag team division. It'll work out so well. Really. We all saw how Jannetty can move on RAW and Smackdown. So why can't you book your tag team division around these two guys? It's not like it'll be a step back for either Jannetty or HBK.

[Blue Demon]

:y: :D

[diothoir]

Awesome. I hope they give him some good angles though. The nostalgia thing won't last too long.

[Gertner]

no LC, i ment why the hell would you sign Janetty to a contract.

[KayfabeMan]

Because he's alot better than 1/2 the crap that they sign nowadays, and he has a ton of experience and ability - and as funny as it may sound at this stage of his career, a good deal of untapped potential.

[Marcyo]

COOL! :D :y:

[KingofOldSchool]

Whoopie we get to see The Rockers vs. La Boredistance 5000 times.

[Shadow]

Whoopie we get to see The Rockers vs. La Boredistance 5000 times.

Who said anything about that? I said use them to revitalize your tag division moron. Jebus!

[Kane Knight]

In reality, he's probably on the mark though.

[Shadow]

In reality, he's probably on the mark though.

I know. I'm just being optimistic.

[Gertner]

lol just like bringing back mr.perfect and big bossman. God, i knew this would happen. in two weeks nobody will care about him and he'll be fighting val venis on heat every week.

[KayfabeMan]

Can't blame that on Jannetty though, you have to blame that on WWE. He still should get a shot to get some extra TV exposure - and use it to get himself more indy dates when they do let him go. $400 to whatever per shot, a few times a month, helps pay the bills.

Hennig came back and gave some awesome performances, and IMO, outdid the rest of the Rumble when they brought him back. Bossman also put in some great matches for them as well, but both guys weren't utilized correctly enough to be taken seriously. It would have been great (since they were tagging anyway) to put over Curt Hennig and Bossman as a major team. With their histories, abilities and such, it'd have made a lot of sense - which explains why they didn't book it.

[AareDub]

I'm sorry, I fell asleep when somebody mentioned the Bossman.

[Thriller]

Im surprised nobodies said this but since its in enevitable woo hoo fresh meat to job to HHH

do you really think Hunter wants Angle's leftovers? ;)

[diothoir]

He took Steph after the love triangle. :shifty:

[Corkscrewed]

Glad to hear Marty signed. He's a better worker than half the roster, and it'll give JR more chances to mess up and go "FAMEASSER!!!"

[Gone Mad]

** points above the avatar. **

Well, this is great to hear. Push him, damn it. I, for one, will still care no matter what. Only time will tell if this goes fully well or not. I still prefer he goes to SD! instead, as they need him more there than Raw,and HBK should go with him.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

lol just like bringing back mr.perfect and big bossman. God, i knew this would happen. in two weeks nobody will care about him and he'll be fighting val venis on heat every week.

Not to be a heartless prick, but when I read that, my first thought was "great, now Jannetty's going to die :(

[AJHayes]

WOO HOO!!!

..I can't think of anything else to say.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Good for Jannetty. He's a great talent, and if they can use him to boost some scene on either RAW or SmackDown!, I'm all for it. I still think it would be awesome if he were a mystery opponent for Orlando Jordan at Wrestle Mania for the WWE United States Championship. Then after tha, you have OJ steal back the title, and have HBK head over to SmackDown! and start teaming with Jannetty.

Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio vs. The Rockers at Judgment Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship. I'd buy that card in a second just for that match.

This is a good signing, IMO, because it can get the WWE fans interested in a title scene that they couldn't care less about today.

[Lara Emily]

Whooo, he was awesome Raw this week

[Dave Youell]

and another legend to add to the list
OMG Orton vs Marty :drool:

[addy2hotty]

Obviously this is great. We need a bit of nostalgia in what really (for the most part) is a tepid product these days. We might get to see some decent tag action on Raw, could you imagine the Rockers as part of a TLC match?

That would be a 'wow' moment.

[Evolution]

Good for Marty. I was thinking after last weeks RAW that Marty would get revenge on Shawn, maybe throw him through the Highlight Reel Set and breaking the Jeritron 5000 or something, leading to the MUCH anticipated Jannetty/Michaels feud (12 years in the making).

Or, just keep them tagging, after all we're not supposed to remember the pre-attitude era.

[Loose Cannon]

Jannetty vs HBK already happened. They faught over the IC Title for a while.

[Disturbed316]

Yeah, I loved it when Jannetty beat HBK for the title due to a Mr Perfect towel shot to the face :D

[TerranRich]

This is awesome. The Rockers reuniting would be quite awesome. There's only one problem...

They need some new music. ;)

[Loose Cannon]

no no, they don't. Best music ever.

[Thriller]

no no, they don't. Best music ever.
Oh yeah,you gotta love the Ultimate Warrior imatation music

[Kane Knight]

no no, they don't. Best music ever.
You mean it's not ORTON's? :eek:

[SuperSlim]

well I was really hopin he woulda been on SmackDown! cause they do need some people but nope. Raw gets everyone. Hopefully they will at elast do somethin with the whole Janetty/Shawn incident

[The Ravishing One]

Awesome.

[addy2hotty]

no no, they don't. Best music ever.

What he said

[Nark Order]

OMFG!! ROCKERS!! AHHHHH!!!! *orgasm*

[wwe2222]

Didnt Jannety beat Michaels on raw for the IC title, then lose it to him at a house show the next week? I remember Michaels coming on the following raw and being introduced as the new IC champ at the beg. of the show and I remember being confused and a little saddened that Jannetty already lost the title.

It would be cool if they tagged again, but I dont see it happening.
