The Rockers were a professional wrestling tag team
consisting of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty that teamed
from 1985 to 1992. The team worked for Central States
Wrestling, the American Wrestling Association, Continental
Wrestling Federation, Continental Wrestling Association and
the World Wrestling Federation. In 1992, the team had a
violent “on screen” break up that helped propel Shawn
Michaels into the singles ranks with the “Heartbreak
Kid” gimmick that he still uses today. After the break up
Michaels and Jannetty had an on again, off again feud due to
Jannetty leaving the WWF on more than one occasion. In 1996,
Jannetty teamed up with Leif Cassidy to form The New
Rockers but the team never achieved much success in the WWF
and ended later that same year.
