Marty Jannetty once tagged with Shawn Michaels as part of The Rockers, but these days, he makes headlines for the bizarre comments he makes on social media. Recently, police in Georgia investigated Jannetty because he claimed to have killed a man, and it seems he's doubling down on that.
In an interview with Devon Nicholson for the Hannibal TV channel, he commented on claims - which he later retracted - that he'd murdered a man in the 1970s who tried to sexually assault him.
Despite telling police that it was a joke meant to set up a wrestling storyline, Jannetty appears to have contradicted himself by now claiming to have burned the man's body afterwards. "You know once the police got involved — I don’t wanna say police. Once the GBI which is the Georgia Bureau Of Investigation got involved it got serious and I was just trying to set up a storyline."
"I have to say that right now because you know it was 40 years ago, and you know what kills me?" he continued. "They don’t care about that 13-year-old getting raped it’s like ‘oh you killed somebody.’ What do you think he was gonna do to me after he raped me?! Because so many rape victims get murdered afterward."
"I was 13-years-old, 13. You know as a grown up or any kids listening to this you say what you think, but when it actually happens, I didn’t expect that reaction. I hit him in the brick, I said it was a brick, it was a piece of concrete thing and you know if you hit someone in the temple — very vulnerable. Evidently, I hit him too hard and he died right there."
Depending how seriously the police take this latest round of comments, chances are Jannetty could soon find himself in serious trouble with the cops...again.
