What Could Have Been: WrestleMania 8

Shawn Michaels versus Marty Jannetty

The Rockers broke up on The Barber Shop

The breakup of The Rockers on an edition of The Barber Shop is one of, if not the most memorable tag team blowup in wrestling history. Images of Shawn Michaels throwing Marty Jannetty through a glass window are etched in the minds of wrestling fans everywhere.

So it seemed inevitable that the former tag team partners would face off at WrestleMania that year. That is, until Jannetty’s recurring personal issues derailed those plans.

Reportedly, Jannetty got himself into some legal trouble while he was away from the company selling his injuries from the Barber Shop attack. He was then released from the company in March 1992 for various reasons.

Michaels would instead open WrestleMania 8 against Tito Santana. Jannetty would return to the WWF in October that year and reignite his feud with Michaels. The feud culminated in a one-on-one match between the two finally taking place at the 1993 Royal Rumble.
