Marty Jannetty on Jimmy Jack Funk Incident
Marty Jannetty on Jimmy Jack Funk Incident
WWE Legend and one half of the legendary "Rockers" Tag Team Marty Jannetty talks about a behind the scenes incident at a bar in Buffalo NY involving former WWE star Jimmy Jack Funk that led to "The Rockers" being fired from WWE after their first television tapings in 1988 due to Funk exaggerating the incident because of Marty hooking up with a girl Jack had been with.

Despite his hard partying days. Marty always seemed to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a great talent.

12:50 it was that moment after noticing the nice boots that vinny mac also noticed HBKs ass, THE REST IS HISTORY LOL
I always thought Marty was the cooler of the two ROckeRs when I was a kid. Marty Jannetty deserves better
I'm picturing Marty getting in the car with her and Bobby Heenan saying "Oh I knew that was going to happen"

Marty talks like a American Keith Richards. Like the hot button on his central nervous system has been pressed way too often.
I partied with Marty back in '98 in Columbus GA, I was like 15 years old drinking beers with Marty, cool memories
He looks like Mickey Rourkes' character on that wrestler movie he did
I believe that were some homosexual relations between Shawn Michaels and Vince McMahon actually is why he got such a big push and as able to get away with so much debauchery for a long time.

Is there any video of that 1987 match? I've seen their "debut" in 1988, but I've always been curious about anything from 1987.

Yes I'd like to see it too, I'm at this very point in HBKs autobiography....I always thought they first appeared in WWF in 88 not 87
This was by far the most entertaining interview ive seen period. Marty is hilarious and the way he delivers the stories just puts it over the top! Marty Jannetty a true Rocker!
Marty is the man.
Jimmy Jack is still alive. My brother works for him in Portland Oregon. He retired from wrestling and has a construction business. His real name is Ferrin Barr jr.

Is he keeping an eye out for Haku? I'll see myself out!
He has an outstanding memory...for a drunk.
There always has to be a Marty, a Brutus, a Warrior, a Typhoon, a Brian Blair, a Bart, a Christian, a Hawk, someone who suffers when a tag team splits up.
Gotta love the "low cut top," "filling it over the top" look LOL
My favorite Rocker.
i like to see marty clean and serene! he's got alot of stories to tell.....................
It's heaps strange because at first me my brother and all my cousins who loved American pro wrestling ( I'm Australian ) we all thought marty jennety was better than Shawn when they were a team.

In their early days of the awa, so did everyone else. Shawn looked goofy also with short hair and doing a rock and roll gimmick

Funny you mention that...a friend of mine said that Marty looked like David Cassidy. Shortly after the Rockers' break-up, she'd have some of her friends sing, "C'mon get happy"(from the Partridge Family); I don't know if Marty noticed. I thought Marty looked like Wayne Campbell from "Wayne's World;" if you put the baseball cap on him, you'd think they were separated at birth. I got a bit of a surprise when I first met Marty and heard him speak out of character...let's say I wasn't aware that he had that heavy Southern drawl that we're hearing in this interview. I'd said, "Hi Marty, great match, can I take a picture with you?" He put his arm around me and said, *Southern drawl* "C'mawn hunny, gimme luvs."(apparently a Southern term). I'd thought, "Wow, this is like Huckleberry Hound meets 'Wayne's World'" Now Marty sometimes wears reading glasses and he looks like Austin Powers...I'm not kidding! LMAO!

I feel he really was talented and was Jim Neidhart but, when both Tag teams as well as many others split they didn't know what to do with their character and had to think pretty damn fast. But, he made his mark for sure.
He needs subtitles
I heard Marty talk about this at an event that he was featured in...What's interesting is that in his interviews is that not only does he stick to his own version of the story, he's human enough to admit his own faults when it's applicable. For me, Shawn's versions of what happened are losing credibility because a lot of wrestlers--not just Marty--have said the same, if not similar things about Shawn: that he was known to start up problems with his peers and then going crying to Vince that he was the victim. Just recently, Shawn said that he was "forced" to wrestle at Crown Jewel--at the "sweet chin music" tune of $2-3 million...it seems like for him, this habit just hasn't changed.
Watched Jesse Barr wrestle in CWF (Tampa) early 1980s. His Dad was a wrestling promoter in the Pacific Northwest.

Marty Loves to Party
I never expected him to be such a character (strange I know), fucking Mr Personality! I guess Shawn never shut up long enough for me to hear him!
He is alive he's 64 years old he is very much alive
Mick Foley says in "Have a Nice Day" that Marty was the most nicest genuine guys in the business. He would give money to homeless people and buy them things.
Marty is definitely one of those dude's who was doin A~Z, back in the day.

Marty Janetty was as Equally talented as Shawn Michaels He should've had a Heel run with awesome ring Gear like Shawn Michaels had his career would've been more successful
Marty Jannetty seems like he's a cool guy and everything, but HOLY SHIT..... You can definitely tell that he's done A LOT of drugs!! All those drugs he did, it scarred his brain up pretty fucking bad!! I'm not talking trash about him, he'll I've done my share of drugs, and then some!!!! I'm just saying, in my opinion, he looks like he did way too many drugs!! I'm really not judging the man, I'm glad he's still here to talk about it, because there's A LOT of other guys in the sport that are Six Feet Under, and will never get to tell their story!! So yeah, God bless him, I'm glad he's still here to tell his story!!👍👊
WWF not WWE
Lol I bet Marty was fun to hang out with!
Who else is in the background on this interview, cuz Marty keeps talking to him as well wen he's describing an event in the pas!?!?!?!?!

I didnt mean this negatively it just seems he has all the symptoms of being punch drunk and seems to have a hard time keeping his thoughts in track. Maybe even something else on top of that. Too bad he partied so hard and didn't take care of himself he could have been so much more.

Jimmy Jack Funk was fired after that. I think he did wrestle a little after that in Texas where he lived. I can't really remember. He was a boilermaker for a long time. He lives in Louisiana with his wife. He has three kids.

Someone said he lives in Portland, OR in the Construction industry.
I always preferred Marty over Shawn in the rockers. He was far more talented and relatable... just goes to show that drive wins over talent. This guy just hasn’t grown up at all.
Marty is the biggest waste of talent ever.
personally i wouldn't have done this interview because clearly he seems to be under the influence of something. you'll just get a certain percentage of people viewing this calling him a drunk... that's the last thing i would want.
