Million Dollar Man was the GOAT. The look, the laugh, the skills. In 94 I saw him at a random house show and we made eye contact through a gap in the bleachers below the seating, before his entrance and he made faces at me and my brother.

[@anthonyowsley8286]

One of the MANY things I love about the million dollar minister is he says "Ya know" after just about every thing he says. Just like my Uncle used to. I love you Mr. DiBiase!

[@johnnybeefum]

I love when he says, "IT'S KINDA LIKE..." which is at least a few times every clip.

[@anthonyowsley8286]

@@johnnybeefum You're right. I didn't catch that until you said it and I went back and listened to some of his interviews. And it's kinda like, He does LOL!

[@trebillis7399]

Marty is lucky to still be alive. So many who acted like him are no longer with us.

[@NLaBar]

I think this is where Marty rode the moped into a hotel lobby fountain… and it was actually caught on video

[@johnnybeefum]

that was fucking amazing! Marty should be inducted into the HOF for this moment alone.

[@MrROTD]

From what I can see Marty kept f ing up big time over and over , it doesnt matter how talented you are if you p off your boss all the time.

[@jethro1260]

I give Ted all the credit in the world for his honesty... what a different man from the one he played,.they should have Oscar's for wrestlers because Ted would have a wall full of them.. Trillion Dollar 💵 Ted..

[@hezamachine]

Marty talked about parting with Ted on few occasions. Marty tells a story about him and Ted taking turns with a ring rat while her husband was watching.

[@KirkLee1983]

Nasty

[@OTSTribalQueen]

par for the course back then

[@Helmut.Schmacker]

I was surprised how far Shawn managed to progress on his own, given that he wasn’t a big guy.

[@Davidp1985]

There’s a quality photo online where Ted & Marty are in a hotel room looking a bit wild with a couple of 80s women!

[@user-zw5yj3jo7d]

Ted and Shaun and Vince!

[@Holden308]

The sad thing about Marty Jannetty IMO (and apparently in the opinion of a few of his fellow wrestlers) is that out of The Rockers, he was believed to be the better in-ring worker. Not to take anything away from Shawn's work. He is one of THE all time best, no doubt about it. But many thought Marty was the better worker.

[@Gambit771]

I always thought Marty was the better wrestler of the two.

[@Guy_Incognito1]

But Marty will always be remembered for diving through the glass window to escape from Michaels.

[@ryanwilliams8390]

Ted was the best when it came to working unreal wrestlemania 6 im a huge Warrior fan i know ted don't like him but the best working match at WM6 was Ted and Jake.

[@jshiner7298]

I'm a warrior fan too, God rest him, Ted and Jake were amazing, two of the greatest of all time, what a great time it was to watch wrestling

[@user-zw5yj3jo7d]

Shaun wasn't better than Marty because he grew up, he had a better upbringing! Marty was just as good physically!

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Hate that for marty but like ted said we all gotta grown up at some point sad ti hear hope it gets better for him

[@kM-ij2ly]

Ted another saved Christian praise the Lord

[@dwade6322]

Lol! Shawn grew up?? Yea after pissin off the entire wrestling industry for a decade. 😅

[@fingersTitan]

and STILL being a C in NXT. The sickos find god to sweep their past under a rug.

[@TheNotbadphonedaddy]

Marty also never... Politicked Sabatoged Backstabbed Throat slit F'd over Underhanded Ruthlessly scrambled Sociopathically unjustifiably hurt There's a lot of things Shawn did that Marty never did Ted.

[@PassivePortfolios]

Jannetty destroyed his career through drug abuse. He became unemployable due to his highly erratic and unstable behavior.

[@jeff-ds2pr]

"Gods" taking Marty's ankle as a wake up call? WTF

[@leejee88]

I remember seeing the match between Marty and Shawn Michaels at civic center in providence,ri back in the 90s and I always felt at the time .that Marty was the real star and not Shawn just based off his charisma in the ring

[@joefox9765]

But it took Sean a long time and he nearly lost his life because of it

[@vcvortex6356]

Shawn never grew up while wrestling, yet they kept him. Marty was a better wrestler than Shawn. The Rockers matches always showed that absolute fact.

[@jeff-ds2pr]

Shawn could cut a better promo by a country mile over Marty. Marty was a good worker, but not on the level of Shawn by the time the mid 90s rolled around.

[@user-vg7zb3sf7r]

If you can talk better on the mike better than you can wrestle you will have a good career in wrestling, just look at Hulk Hogan! 💪

[@romans52345-cy3tq]

You think Ted's wife would have known (and all wives of wrestlers back then) that they were having affairs on the road, with women throwing themselves at them in clubs every night

[@arrowheadtelecom6561]

Hell he has a podcast

[@skyborne80]

By Ted's logic, you have to find god to grow up, but I think that's a little unfair. You just have to grow up, period.

[@datacipher]

Talk about not listening. He didn’t say that. Obviously Ted promotes Christianity and he mentions it, but fiest he says Shawn grew up - THEN he adds in a “big way” and mentions Christianity. He doesn’t say you have to be a Christian to grow up. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. Great comprehension skills dullards.

[@steventurley5029]

That's not what he said

[@RodSherwood1]

C’mon man, they don’t amputate your leg for an ankle injury. WTF 😂

[@MABMGuitar]

His leg is mangled, especially the ankle.

[@randi_godspeed2063]

Have you seen what it looks like? I have and was shocked at how bad it is. It’s an open wound, very old initial injury didn’t heal and got infected. Swollen, I really feel bad for him. God’s blessings 👩🏻✝️💙🐕🖤💪💥🔥

[@VeronikaGama]

I respect Marty for refusing to sleep with Vince. Micheal’s on the other hand s u c k e d Vince off like a milkshake to get where he is today.

[@davel7791]

You have evidence of that? Or just talking $#!+?

[@VeronikaGama]

@@davel7791 oh yeah, I was there. Video taped the whole thing. But Vince paid me 1.5 million for the tape

[@cats362]

Marty admits he dont want to change. He threw away being well off for drugs, booze and girls and miserable.

[@mickeymaus1]

Hmm, but be Christian and believer don’t make u an grown adult it make u just a believer and Christian, nothing more. 1:30

[@newhere2419]

lol at the couple guys claiming Marty was better than Shawn. Stay off the Weed.

[@shaynewest8757]

Marty might be a lot of things but at least he didnt become a bullshit christian.

[@davel7791]

What a nasty thing to say.

[@matthewnikitas8905]

How is Shawn bullshit? He seems like he is dedicated to his belief to me

[@themachine8277]

Marty never did anything but Shawn did? Oh the Christian.... Ted and Shawn were both drugged up losers who lost so much. Marty did too, but to call the kettle black doesn't sound very Christian Ted...

[@newhere2419]

neither Ted nor Shawn were ever arrested.

[@davel7791]

You seem to have missed the point of Christianity. God's door is open to all sinners. All you have to do is confess and repent. Jesus died for us and our sins.

[@hezamachine]

Marty talked about parting with Ted on few occasions. Marty tells a story about him and Ted taking turns with a ring rat while her husband was watching.

[@darcysandler952]

Who's Rat?

[@brasidas33]

Rat is a (usually female) professional wrestler chaser/groupie.

[@hezamachine]

​@@darcysandler952 a rat is a female fan that goes to wrestling events to seek sexual liaisons with wrestlers and other performers.
