Seeing the other thread got me thinking.
Shawn Michaels was successful in finding a gimmick that worked. He changed everything about him.
Marty still had tassles and looked like Marty the Rocker his whole career. Why couldn't he recreate himself as well?

Short awnser Because he was an idiot, longer answer because he kept getting fired every 5 minutes too |

Because in Marty's world, the Beatles are still topping the charts and every night is party night!

One possibility is maybe Vince didn't want him to. The other is Marty just wasn't smart enough to do it and he had some serious drug issues. Let's remember how messed up Shawn was at points and then realize Marty was ten times worse and never got help.

Washed up rock star with a drinking problem

Start with a fake "Behind the music" type documentary that ends horribly wrong. Then bring him back to make his big come back, except he's super messed up and still thinks it's the 80s. Sort of like Doctor Rockso from Metalocalypse. I would have older women screaming for him and when he comes to the ring, he would bring a rose or something for one girl. Of course he picks a younger 20 something girl that isn't his fan and tries to kiss her, only for her to reject it and be very awkward. |

Maybe he saw Bret being successful without really changing from his tag team days and thought he could do the same.

Did the idea that anything with "New" in front of it is bad start with Jannetty, and the New Rockers? |

Wasn't his 1996 heel run basically an out of touch rock star still living in the past?

He spent half of his WWF stints as the Rocker that HBK betrayed and half of his stints as a notalgia act. Anywhere else he went just wanted the Rocker guy from WWF tv.

He could've been good if he managed to keep a job for more than 5 minutes, But alas he'll mainly be remembered as that guy who tried to jump through a window to escape Shawn Michaels
