9	Born Frederick Marty Jannetty on February 3, 1960, Marty Jannetty is an American {{professional wrestl\|ing}}er whose name is, [[NeverLiveItDown unfortunately]], best known as a byword for a wrestler who's left behind by a BreakupBreakout (and even the [[Administrivia/RenamedTropes former]] {{Trope Namer\|s}} for Breakup Breakout itself). He debuted in 1984 and worked for various Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance territories and for the Wrestling/AmericanWrestlingAssociation. His most famous work was him teaming with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels as The Midnight Rockers, later renamed The Rockers in Wrestling/{{WWE}}. That ended when Shawn infamously threw Marty through the window of the set of [[Wrestling/BrutusBeefcake Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake]]'s [[TalkShowWithFists "The Barber Shop"]] on the January 12, 1992 (taped December 3, 1991) ''WWF Wrestling Challenge''. He would drift in and out of WWE every few years, starting in 1993. He also appeared for Wrestling/{{WCW}}, Wrestling/{{ECW}} and numerous independent promotions.

18	!! "Rocker Troper":
19	* ArchEnemy:
20	** Well, Shawn, of course. Marty never forgave Shawn for the dissolution of the Rockers, and even briefly won the Intercontinental Title from him in an act of revenge.
21	** Also, in the AWA, The Midnight Rockers had a big feud with Wrestling/PlayboyBuddyRose and "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers.
22	* TheBusCameBack: Every year and a half or so after WCW folded. He's usually on the wrong end of a match involving someone with a grudge against Shawn Michaels or a young superstar with a push or winning streak.
23	* ButtMonkey: Naming the less successful person of a Tag Team after they break up as "The Jannetty".
24	* DavidVersusGoliath: Played straight when The Rockers defeated [[Wrestling/{{Meng}} Haku]] and Wrestling/TheBarbarian at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} VII'' in 1991. Inverted two years earlier at ''[=WrestleMania V=]'' when they lost to The Twin Towers ([[Wrestling/BigBossman The Big Bossman]] and [[Wrestling/TheOneManGang Akeem]]).
25	* FinishingMove: Rocker Dropper, which he later renamed The Showstopper in WCW as a TakeThat to Shawn, who used that as one of his {{Red Baron}}s.
26	* RingOldies: Now 60 and still wrestling, and he's not half bad.
27	* TagTeam:
28	** The Uptown Boys, with Tommy Rogers
29	** The Rockers (with Wrestling/ShawnMichaels)
30	*** The New Rockers (with [[Wrestling/AlSnow Leif Cassidy]])
31	* TheatricsOfPain: Being a former tag partner of Shawn Michaels in a team modeled on Wrestling/TheRockNRollExpress, it's no surprise he was really good at this.
32	* UnrelatedBrothers: To his trainers Ted and Jerry Oates, as Marty Oates.
