This one is getting weird. Former WWE star and all-time tag-team wrestler Marty Jannetty — one half of The Rockers along with WWE Hall-of-Famer Shawn Michaels, is apparently confessing to a 47-year-old murder that no one was investigating. In a ranting post on Facebook that has since been deleted, the WWE legend managed to top his objectionable use of a homophobic slur before even reaching the end of his sentence where he appears to be confessing to killing a man when he was in his teens.
Whoa. So, maybe Marty Jannetty needs a lesson in how either the internet or murder laws work? Jannetty deleted the post shortly after putting it up, but the internet had already caught it and the image above was making the rounds on social media and inside wrestling channels overnight on Wednesday.
By the end of the post, Jannetty appears to be shifting gears toward breaking up with whomever it is he’s addressing. I’m no expert on ending relationships, but is a murder confession a traditional way to get started? Even if whoever Winnie is was the only one who saw this, it’s an odd tonal shift to go from revealing your deepest darkest secret to giving someone the ol’ heave-ho. I don’t feel like you need to be a professional hitman to know that you shouldn’t immediately piss off the person that you just told where the bodies are dumped. Not to mention his apparent inability to use the private messaging functions that I assume Facebook offers.
In case there was any doubt, Jannetty went on a WWE-focused podcast from Bostonwrestling.com to follow up and shed additional light on the confession. The full interview is here:
Over the course of the video, Jannetty seems to confuse the idea of killing someone with the idea of saying you killed someone, confessing again that “I can’t say he deserved to be kill — I didn’t say I killed him. I can’t say he deserved to die, but he deserved to get his ass beat. And when I was beating him in the head with a brick, I was only trying to beat his ass. I wasn’t trying to kill him.” Jannetty would also add “I didn’t say I killed him. I said he disappeared,” apparently forgetting that he’d also mentioned how the police should have checked the Chattahoochie River. Unless he’s implying that the guy grew gills and took to an undersea life, I think this breadcrumb trail is pretty clear.

Before getting into discussion of the Facebook post, the apparently now confessed murderer and washed-up pretend athlete takes time to throw some support toward the president while also accusing China of “releasing the virus on purpose because Trump was kickin’ their ass.” So I guess we can expect to see him added to the speakers list at the RNC sometime soon.
The wrestler alleges that the weed dealer he refers to as “Bob” sold the then 13-year-old Jannetty a bag of weed in his car but then tried to “grab me down there.” He goes on to describe saying no, getting out of the car and then being forcibly dragged by the hair behind the bowling alley where they both worked. That’s where Jannetty claims a rape would have taken place, were it not for that brick he found.
Marty Jannetty is now trying to spin the confession as self defense, which it certainly could have been given the circumstances he describes in the post, but he’s going to have to come up with some answers about the whole river thing. In his own words, Jannetty described the fallout from the incident, saying “Can you imagine dragging a guy, he’s just tried to fuck you in the ass, can you imagine dragging him to the river and throwing him in? And then finding out on the news the dude’s missing? You know the dude. And you know more than that. That fucking affected me bad, bro.”
The host in the interview works with Jannetty throughout, telling him that he did the right thing in “protecting himself,” but doesn’t seem to think through the part about hiding the body and then waiting 47 years to mention anything. According to a report on TMZ, police are now looking into the incident and attempting to align the confession to any missing persons in the area. Stay tuned, this doesn’t sound like one that’s going to end quietly.
Just so it’s not all doom and gloom, here’s some highlights of The Rockers wrestling The Hart Foundation back in better times when Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart was alive and, well, I guess Marty Jannetty was still a murderer …
