I remember being a kid and eagerly awaiting the epic showdown between the two ex-Rockers, which never came. The whole plotline was aborted and Jannety faded into obscurity while Micheals became a star. Maybe because the WWF realized that Marty Jannety has all the stage presence of a dead sea cucumber and he really did need Sean Micheals to make him look good.
Marty Janetty and Shawn Michaels won Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Match of the Year award in 1993. The feud was okay, but it wasn't really sustainable with Marty Janetty's marble-mumble-mouthed promos.
Can we please fix the wrestler's names in the tags?
I was a Beefcake fan as a kid. Being from my hometown (not really, but the character "hailed" from SF) + sleeper hold ender + cutting opponent's hair seemed so fucking bad ass when I was 8-10. Then he mysteriously disappeared.
Brutus broke his face in a parasailing accident. WWE gave him a crazy mask and tried to play him as a sympathetic character, but it didn't take. Then, when Hogan left for WCW, Beefcake--one of Hogan's most faithful lackeys and buddies--left with him. While in WCW, he played a litany of terrible characters that all had the chance to lose to Hogan a lot.
