Anytime a team breaks up in wrestling the IWC instantly judges one as the 'Shawn Michaels' of the group and the other member as the 'Jannetty'.Why must every team be judged in this fashion? The IWC often exaggerates what a 'Jannetty' of a team is. Marty Jannetty is a former tag team and intercontinental champion. There are many people around these days that would be honoured with just that.
Many people judge teams in this fashion because when the rockers initially broke up, Marty Jannetty faded into obscurity while Shawn Michaels became one of the most memorable wrestlers of all time. Not every team can be ranked in this fashion; there are some teams that neither member does anything at all memorable once they have split while there are other teams where both members have succeeded greatly. Here are an example of both:
No success for either man:
Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder - These two were split up in the 2009 Supplemental Draft and while Zack was sent to ECW and repackaged under his Long Island Loudmouth gimmick while Curt wasn't seen for nearly a year but wasn't released due to backing by people such as Jim Ross. What has either man done since this split? We are nearly two years down the line and Zack Ryder is a comedy jobber and Curt Hawkins is Superstars exclusive. Zack is often regarded as the better of the group due to having a personality.
Bottom line: Was there a Michaels or Jannetty in this group? No. Neither man is showing anything watchable at the moment apart from Curt having decent matches with Trent Barretta on Superstars.
Success in both members of a team
Miz and Morrison - People saying this is a rockers tag team could not be farther off. Someone please tell me which of these members faded into obscurity? Morrison is in the midst of being elevated and Miz is the WWE champion. Just because Miz was a world champion first the IWC instantaneously believe that JoMo is the Jannetty of the group. Morrison is a former ECW, 3 time intercontinental, 5 time tag team and has even had title oppurtunities in matches and has even main evented pay per views. Miz has already shown us that he was the faster elevated of the two but thats not to say Morrison will never be a main event superstar. Both men are rising fast and are arguably the next generation of WWE.
Bottom Line: Did this group have a Michaels or Jannetty? No, both men are having highly successful in WWE right now and may one day feud again for a world title.
Now with the split of the Hart Dynasty we may be looking at yet another team split that will amount to nothing for either man of that team because possibly that team should have never split up and will flonder and be future endeavoured in weeks to come.
My Question to you is: Why must there be a Jannetty in every tag team?
