SHAWN'S PARTNER WAS HIS GOOD FRIEND MARTY JANNETTY WHO HE TEAMED UP WITH TO FORM ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING TEAMS IN WRESTLING HISTORY. THE ROCKERS WERE TOGETHER FROM THE SUMMER OF 1988 UNTIL THE END OF 1991 IN THE WWF. PRIOR TO THAT, THEY WRESTLED AS THE "MIDNIGHT ROCKERS" IN THE AWA.
SHAWN AND MARTY AS THE ROCKERS THEY WERE BOTH YOUNG MEN WHO WERE JUST GETTING THEIR START IN THE WRESTLING BUSINESS, AS THEY TRIED THEIR BEST TO MAKE A NAME FOR THEMSELVES. A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT THE ROCKERS NEVER DID WIN THE TAG TITLES ALTHOUGH THEY TEAMED UP FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS. THEY HAD WON THE TAG BELTS ON HOUSE SHOWS ALTHOUGH THEY WERE NEVER RECOGNIZED AS THE CHAMPIONS NOR ARE THEY LISTED IN THE PWI ALMANAC. THEY WERE A TEAM THAT GAVE FANS EXCITING WRESTLING PLENTY OF MOVES THAT WERE NOT COMMON TO NORTH AMERICA FANS. THEY WERE DOIN MOONSAULTS AND HURRICANRANAS BEFORE ANY ONE ELSE IN THE WWF AND THEY EARNED THE A REPUTATION AS THE BEST HIGH FLYERS IN THE WWF. ONE OF THE BEST TAG TEAM MATCHES OF ALL TIME FEATURED MICHAELS AND JANNETTY IN A ROYAL RUMBLE 91 BATTLE AGAINST THE ORIENT EXPRESS (PAT TANAKA AND KATO). I SUGGEST YOU GET THIS TAPE AS IT IS ONE OF THE BEST TAG TEAM MATCHES OF ALL TIME. THE ROCKERS ALLIANCE ENDED WHEN SHAWN TURNED HEEL BY THROWING JANNETTY THREW A MIRROR IN BRUTUS BARBER BEEFCAKE'S BARBER SHOP SEGMENT. IT WAS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS THAT WILL BE ETCHED IN THE MINDS OF WRESTLING FANS FOREVER.IT WAS THE START OF SOMETHING SPECIAL, IT WAS THE START OF MICHAEL'S CAREER AS A HEEL. |
