Marty Jannetty has spent his life self-sabotaging himself. Somehow he was able to get fired by WWE a record eight times, once not even making a single appearance before being let go. Yesterday he managed to get himself in more trouble by dropping a bombshell on Facebook that he made a man “disappear” when he was 13. The victim was actually trying to abuse him, so he was technically acting in self-defense. However, the Columbus Police Department in Georgia has confirmed they are investigating.
In typical Jannetty fashion, after being advised not to do interviews, he agreed to be interviewed by Boston Wrestling MWF. The full interview is 22 minutes in length and can be found on their YouTube channel. However, you can listen to a brief excerpt below in which he reveals he bashed the man’s head in with a brick.
I can’t say he deserved to die, but he deserved to get his ass beat. And when I was beating him in the head with a brick, I was only trying to beat his ass; I wasn’t trying to kill him.
Can you imagine dragging him to the river and throwing him in? And then finding out on the news this guy is missing? And you know the dude. And you know more than that, I made my mind up that day nobody would ever hurt me again. Marty Jannetty
Jannetty’s shocking admission trended on Twitter, and after the news was picked up by TMZ, it quickly traveled around the world in mainstream publications. We now wait to find out what action the police decide to take.
