In Marty Jannetty’s latest MySpace blog post (his MySpace has recently been set to friends-only), he again denies rumors that WWE fired him, saying the dirtsheet reports a few months ago were a mistake, since another Marty — Marty “Boogeyman” Wright — had been fired at the time. He was recently at a family Christmas gathering, where he found out that WWE Magazine gave him the “award” for shortest WWE tenure in the latest issue. “Well,” says Jannetty, “do I need to tell you how I felt…it IS NOT TRUE!!,,but, no one has any reason to believe me right now given my past…I wouldnt believe me if I was you guys either…so, I now gotta deal with this bs…”
Here’s an excerpt from the blog post dealing with the firing:
It’s not true..it’s obviously the mistaken Marty Wright(Boogeyman) firing..Marty was heard to get fired..and..naturally it had to be Marty Jannetty..and, with further looking in to…the whole not returning a phone call..was something Marty Wright didnt do..from what I heard was because he didnt want to go to OVW and they wanted him to go their first before coming back on full tour..
It’s a bad mistake…it means a writer..AND an editor for WWE magazine missed this error…IT WILL GET FIXED!!..but meanwhile..I gotta walk in shame..especially with a certain couple of jerk offs out there who are just happier than pigs in shit(and nearly as clean) to report this…I get to walk through the airports in NY where fans are the best, and really stay on top of their wrestling news..and hear from half a mile away..”Hey Marty Jannetty, Rockers..Hey we heard about you getting fired dude”…I get to explain this friggin story to family, friends and fans. 1 million times over…knowing more than half of them aint gonna believe it..hell, I’m wondering if I should my damn self…maybe I should just ignore it like a couple people have suggested, since I know whats in the works….but, how the hell do you do that..its my life that is out on public display..and right now, its being made a joke of…
Dave Meltzer in The Wrestling Observer was one reporter who said Jannetty had been fired, after being assigned to work ECW house shows and not returning phonecalls. Marty Wright was indeed fired, then brought back to WWE when Booker T pulled for him to come back, and he is doing extra training with Booker, who looks at Wright as sort of a “pet project.” Time will tell what the full story is with Jannetty, and we’ll do our best to report accurately any updates that we hear.
