Marty Jannetty could be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame under one condition
Marty Jannetty significantly contributed to WWE's product as a wrestler during his time in the company and won multiple championships in the process. However, he isn't in the Hall of Fame yet because of his controversial remarks.
He once claimed he could be inducted into the Hall of Fame but under one condition. He stated the company wanted him to delete his Facebook account and start changing himself.
"I GOTTA CHANGE," Jannetty wrote. "Evidently, according to a call I got last night from a 'high up' with some company based out of Stamford, CT I got to change."
While his Hall of Fame induction hasn't happened yet, he could realistically be honored by the company if he makes the changes requested in the future. While talking to Sportskeeda Wrestling's Bill Apter, he claimed he would love to coach wrestlers at the Performance Center alongside Shawn Michaels.
