Is Marty Janetty for f'ing real? (Got some free time?)

Does anyone ever read M.J.'s blogs on MySpace?

I never did but I got a Bulletin marked something like, "Important Announcement" (which is what they always say and it's usually to hype some internet radio show). I checked it out and it said "this blog is of great importance to me".

I shrugged and thought, "Eh, what the hell? Let's see what's so important to Marty."

I click on his blog and...well...let's just say Marty won't be setting the literary world on fire any time soon. Not Test-bad, but pretty bad. He uses the giant font that all functional illiterates use. The one that screams, "I'm retard-strong and ready to RUMBLE!"

He rambles on and on about he's "doing it for the kids". He never quite specified what, exactly, he was doing for these "kids" or even who the hell the kids were. He, of course, dropped HBK's name a half-dozen times and then he goes into details about some upcoming Georgia Indy match against a man called "Deathrow".

This is where things get really gay. He starts rambling about how this might be his final match and he might not make it out alive 'cause Deathrow is the Master of Insanity and suffers from dementia and blah blah blah.

Hyping an indy match. Okay. No problem. I understand. Do what you can to sell tickets.

Fans posted comments like, "Don't do it Marty! We love you!" Basically weeping and screaming, "You have so much to live for!"

Again. No problem. I understand. Half-retarded marks getting carried away. These are not 12 year-olds I'm talking about...it's people in their 30's and 40's, judging from the pics.

The latest blog details how Deathrow apparently took everything Marty wrote on the blog personally, freaked out, went to a junkyard with an axe-handle and preceeded to start smashing cars while screaming "How you like me now, Marty?!?". It took 12 police officers to subdue him and drag his "Master of Insanity" ass to the nut hatch. I'll let Marty himself take over and explain:

"after talking to his wife, she told me to please please take the blogs down and put one up apologizing, because she and the kids are actually scared of him themselves right now the way he's being..she said this is one of his worse seizures (that's what they call it when he transforms like this) she has ever seen him have... not to mention, now they have him locked down for a 50/50 or 51 something evaluation..which means, they may commit him to the Bradly Center again..(that's our mental wellness hospital)..they have him subdued in a straight jacket"

It's called a "period", Marty. It looks like this: .

I'm just dumbfounded that, in this day and age, people still fall for this kind of stuff. And not even children! These are ADULTS!

What the fuck does this MEAN?

I kind of understand that this is some kind of video game but people actually go beyond buying the game itself and pay MORE money for whatever in the fuck THIS bullshit may be?

I'm only 34 but reading shit like this makes me feel 74.

These people OBVIOUSLY aren't married and have never seen a live vagina.

I'm trying to imagine what would happen if I came home from work one day and told the wife, "Guess what, Mrs. AIC? I spent $230 on a video game!!!"

It would go like this:








After which, me in the streets (clutching the bleeding remnants of my genitalia):

Ha ha ha they figured all the gullible marks might be reading this topic



Anyways I think that's pretty funny about Marty. I mean the marks (I hate that word) I come across are really young children who lap up everything WWE says and argue with me about "how can Undertaker be fake he does lightning." Then there's the people from foreign countries who just don't get it, and then there's the 30+ year old southerners that are still in to it like they were 10 years old.

Myspace is a real strange place, every star has like a bandwagon of 50 people that support them no matter what. It's quite scary.

I love the word "mark". It makes me feel like one of those "Internet Insiders" who are the scourge of Jim Ross's existence.

Kids marking out is what the business is all about, so I'd never say anything bad about that. God knows I did enough of it as a young'n.

But for adults, in this day and age, to mark out to the extent that I've seen on MySpace is just embarrassing. The women all look like either A)Owners of a two-digit number of cats or, B)Total Skanks. Marty has the most twisted, obsessed, groan-inducing fan-base I've seen on MySpace. And how appropriate is it that they call themselves "The Mizfits"??? I check it out about once a month for the laughs.

The whole "Deathrow" saga was some of the funniest shit I've read in ages.

You ever seen that youtube vid of the man crying on some NWA Indy show?

Link...PLEASE!!!!!!

Wait...I think I found it...

Yep, I did.

HOLY SHIZNIT!!!!

That's f'ing HILARIOUS

x infinity

He's a wrestling fan, I'll give him that.

What game were you talking about that was $230. Plus some people want to believe that wrestling is "real" even when they know its not. If the promoters are going to put the time in and develope a story then they are going to run with it. Its like ANY other TV show out there. You get into the story and let it take you away. You don't want a "normal" TV show and go oh darn my fav charactered died. Oh Well.

I dunno. We used to get spammed on, like, an hourly basis by bots that would advertise crap for some computer game. Sometimes we'd get a laugh out of it, other times it was really annoying.



In my initial post, I pointed out that I completely understood what was happening from the "promotion of an indy show" perspective. Hence the quote: "Hyping an indy match. Okay. No problem. I understand. Do what you can to sell tickets."



I addressed this as well but with an addendum: "Kids marking out is what the business is all about, so I'd never say anything bad about that. God knows I did enough of it as a young'n.
But for adults, in this day and age, to mark out to the extent that I've seen on MySpace is just embarrassing."

We (meaning us wrestling fans) all suspend our disbelief to a certain degree. Kee said something really good on here one time about appreciating the business on another level and in a different way after being "smartened up." Did I feel some measure of happiness when CM Punk won the belt last year? Yes, and I'm not ashamed to say I marked out like a Kindergartner meeting Ronald McDonald. Sure, I felt it mostly because of the (since proven false) belief that WWE was finally going in a new direction but I also felt it because I genuinely like the CM Punk character. The happiness for a character is escapism in its purest form. This kind of love for wrestling is absolutely NOT what I was talking about.

The strange characters on MJ's MySpace cross the escapist line and move into "believing in Santa Claus/obsession" territory. I find it simultaneously fascinating and creepy (and no, I'm not talking about a 50 year-old man who tries to talk in teen/hip hop lingo and writes with the spelling and grammar skill of an Appalachian 1st grader, lol). I was, admittedly, a little harsh in my explanation of this but I assure you I was only having fun.

I still think Marty is a complete jackass to the nth degree. He makes the Honky Tonk Man look classier than Nick Bockwinkel.

I swear I saw Nick Bockwinkel in a movie called problem child.

wow it wasn't him but I totally missed that Kerry von erich was in it.
