5 Most tragic WWE tag team breakups

#1 The Rockers

The Rockers

For the first few years in WWF wrestling, Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty were completely in sync with each other. The Rockers were a new tag-team, and both the members were difficult to think about without the other. But Michaels’ solo ambition and Jannetty’s irregular life led to a feud.

The cracks began in 1991, instigated by Roddy Piper. He when he said that Michaels had a great career in front of him. Jannetty took that as a personal insult and attacked Michaels as the latter passed out. The next and final split came up on Brutus Beefcake’s Barber Shop, where they worked their problems out. After they completely solved their problems, Michaels nailed Jannetty with a superkick and threw him into a glass window. Michaels also tore a picture of the two, signifying their separation.

The Rockers would reunite once in 2005 when Jannetty would reunite with his old tag-team partner to defeat La Resistance.
