Marty Jannetty undergoes leg amputation due to deteriorating health

Former WWE Superstar and one half of The Rockers, Marty Jannetty, had one of his legs amputated. The news was revealed by his friend and fellow former wrestler Eddy Mansfield during an appearance on the Monte and The Pharaoh YouTube channel.

“One of my dearest friends ever on the face of this earth, and was a great wrestler, had his foot amputated, and his name is the ‘Rocker’ Marty Jannetty,” Mansfield said.

Mansfield blame WWE for letting Jannetty’s physical condition deteriorate even though Jannetty has not been associated with the company for decades. He said that his injuries all occurred in a WWE ring and he, along with Shawn Michaels, made WWE “a ton of money” during their Rockers days.

“Where in the hell was WWE to help Marty Jannetty? Hell, he made them millions of dollars, and you can’t help him when he is in the biggest need of his life, fighting for his life?” he continued. “These guys at WWE can get all these pay raises, but you can’t take care of the guys who make you the money.”

Apart from blaming WWE, Mansfield also blamed Shawn Michaels for not doing more to help Jannetty throughout the years when Michaels’ career took off and Jannetty was left behind.

“If you made it together and you go separate ways, don’t hurt your partner, help your partner. Make sure he eats well,” he added.
