Marty Jannetty

The Marty Jannetty Story  4hr DVD

MJ-1D

• The Marty Jannetty Story is one of the most compelling documentaries made about pro wrestling. Jannetty's time in wrestling seems to be a warning to all young wrestlers about what can go wrong. Ranging from substance abuse, to trouble with the law, to trouble with women, Jannetty seems to have covered every vice.
• Marty Jannetty is the reason why the documentary works so well. He gives the producer unlimited access. No question is out of bounds. His tales of excess just pile on top of one another. At certain points, viewers will find themselves yelling, "Marty, dump the girl," or "Don't do that last hit of crack!" Of course, Marty never does dump the girl and smokes the crack and pays the inevitable consequences.
• Jannetty should be credited for not placing the blame on his fellow wrestlers. The documentary could have easily turned into a shoot interview where other wrestlers are thrown under the bus. Jannetty accepts responsibility for most of his problems  +++
