Episode 18 - Part 2:
In the second part of this week's episode, we look at ten different tag teams from various eras and promotions and determine (in our opinion) who is the "Jannetty". Obviously, this is a reference to Marty Jannetty, who was once the tag team partner of WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels. Michaels who went on to have a legendary career as arguably one of the best performers of all time, split away from Jannetty in the now infamous Barber Shop segment. Jannetty had random moments of fame, but never remotely achieved the success of his former partner, arguably due to being the "weak link" in their team.
