How many times was Marty Jannetty fired in the WWF

[The Blue Nova]

I know there was the first time in 88 Then before rumble 1992 after royal rumble 1993 and once in 1994 any other times?

[Milkman Norm]

Was he fired after the new Rockers run in 1996/1997? Because that all I can think of. I think when he came back briefly in 2005 he wasn't under contract. I remember hearing talk that after the awesome match with Angle and the Rockers reunion there was talk of signing him. But then Marty went and pulled a Marty and it never happened.

Yes, Survivor Series 1996 was his last match. The next night on Raw, Bob Holly (who was still a face) took Marty's place and tagged with Leif Cassidy against Furnas and Lafon in the main event.

Not enough

I typed "how many times has Marty Jannetty been fired" into Google and sure enough, this was one of the first results:

www.wrestlingnewssource.com/news/169/Breaking_News_Marty_Jannetty_fired_for_the_8th_time/

The answer? EIGHT TIMES

#1: Hired: Summer 1987. Fired: Summer 1987 (two weeks later - this was detailed
in Michaels' autobiography, about how they got 'framed' for partying too much).
#2: Rehired: Summer 1988. Fired: February 1992.
#3: Rehired: November 1992. Fired: February 1993.
#4: Rehired: May 1993. Fired: February 1994
#5: Rehired: September 1995. Fired: December 1996
#6: Rehired: March 2005. Fired: July 2005
#7: Rehired: February 2006. Fired: March 2006
#8: Rehired: September 15th, 2006. Fired: September 29th, 2006 (without working
a single date - that must be a first?).

I'm not sure who's worse - Marty for getting fired so many times, or Vince for rehiring him, presumably under the pretence that he'll be more reliable each time.

[auph10imitated]

I know, why on earth did they rehire him so much. In the 90's understandable since they were low on talent and he was younger etc, but the three times post 2005 are strange.

Im guessing Jannetty did himself out of two Wrestlemania's against Michaels then, at WM 8 and 9. Surely they would have been the original plans.

I feel the same way about Goldust. Hasn't he been fired several times?

And Vince kept bringing back Jeff Jarrett after leaving him. I guess he finally learned after he was held up over the IC title.

Though they weren't fired, I cite Kama, Rikishi, Crush and Tensai who Vince kept bringing back or repackaging after not getting over.

Didn't they have big plans for a Rockers reunion tour after they reunited on Raw? Marty only has himself to blame for that not coming to pass, he had one last chance to make real money in wrestling but he liked being a douche more.

[auph10imitated]

I can't really remember, anything post 2003 is a blur to me. Not sure how successful a Rockers reunion would have been really. It worked with DX the following year as it was closer to being more current, not sure if The Rockers would have been relevant enough to do something more permanent in 2005.

Lol, that McMahon wanted to hire him a ninth time is an awesome kicker to this ridiculous series of events!

Although it's something of a running gag, Dustin has only been fired in two out of his previous five runs.

1990-1991 - short-term contract as part of the Dusty/DiBiase angle. When Dusty's contract expired and went to WCW, Dustin followed.

1995-1999 - chose not to sign a new contract due to personal issues, offered a guaranteed AOL Time Warner contract by WCW.

2001-2003 - contract expired, "creative has nothing for you".

2005-2006 - fired after no-showing an episode of Raw.

2008-2012 - fired after authorising the PTP to use a banned/dangerous move that almost injured Yoshi Tatsu.

from what I understand he signed the deal with them but subsequently they had to release him because he was on probation for something and couldn't leave the state. so he didn't do anything to get fired, he was just too dumb to understand the terms of his probation in the first place.
