I always enjoyed watching him wrestle, and thought he could have succeeded when he returned to win the IC title from Shawn Michaels back in 1993. Marty always seemed over, and I could see him main eventing IF he stayed clean and adopted a gimmick change

I think he could have had a pretty long and steady career somewhere. Hes absolutly incredible in the ring. All problems aside he was in the WWF for the better part of 9 years anyway.

Keep in mind that Shawn Michaels didn't become HBK, the show-stopper, etc. until well after the Rockers broke up. In his early solo run he wasn't great on the mic either and his in ring style was kind of bland until about 1994. So I don't know if Jennetty would have gotten a push if clean, but I have read that one point it was undecided which Rocker was going to get the push until Marty's drug issues got to the point where he needed rehab. Maybe if he had a couple of years to tweak his character like Shawn did he would have succeded.

I think he probably could have been a decent midcarder maybe even IC champ. I don't think he'd be someone to build the company around but he was still a decent worker.

His timing on being fired after the Rockers split was what killed his chances of a decent singles run in my view. Had Shawn and Marty had the clash of the Rockers at Wrestlemania 8 as planned I think that would have elevated him - even though I believe he was slated to lose to Shawn.
Never would have reached Shawn's level but I do believe he would have had a better IC title run than the one he managed to gain.
Agree that he was awful on the mic though.

He would have had to have a huge makeover but it could have worked.

I always preferred Marty to Shawn and was bummed Shawn became the IC champion.

I always liked Marty and Sherri's (albeit brief) onscreen pairing.
....then suddenly, Marty loses the title at a house show and Sherri vanishes to WCW.
