Former wrestler calls out WWE after stating that Marty Jannetty’s foot has been amputated
Former WWE star Marty Jannetty has undergone a foot amputation, according to his close friend and former wrestler Eddy Mansfield. Mansfield, who shared the news during an appearance on the Monte and The Pharaoh YouTube channel, also criticized WWE over its treatment of Jannetty…
“To all you wrestling fans out there—one of my dearest friends ever on the face of this earth, and was a great wrestler, had his foot amputated, and his name is the rocker Marty Jannetty.
And you know, that’s how come I stood up years and years and years ago for the guys to be taken care of in the right way medically.
And I don’t understand—and I have high praise for Shawn Michaels [Jannetty’s former tag team partner]. I really do. Shawn is dear to me. He’s really a good guy.
But where in the hell was WWE to help Marty Jannetty? Hell, he made them millions of dollars, and you can’t help him when he is in the biggest need of his life, fighting for his life?
I don’t understand that.
And that’s where I’ve had trouble with promoters the whole damn time.
These guys at WWE can get all these pay raises and all this other crap, screw the wrestling fans out of a bunch of damn money for tickets, but you can’t take care of the guys who make you the money.”
