✂️ The Barber Shop Incident: Shawn Michaels Turns on Marty Jannetty (1992)


Jannetty and Michaels appear on The Barber Shop


Filmed in December 1991 and broadcast on WWF Wrestling Challenge on January 12, 1992—just one week before the highly anticipated WWF Royal Rumble—the iconic tag team The Rockers, featuring Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty, appeared on the Barber Shop segment hosted by Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. During their appearance, Michaels and Jannetty openly discussed the recent tensions and disagreements that had developed between them as partners in the ring. The segment was elevated by the sharp commentary of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon, whose insights added depth to the unfolding drama. The infamous “Barber Shop Incident” endures as one of the most memorable moments in professional wrestling history—an explosive turning point that not only ended The Rockers, but ignited Shawn Michaels’ ascent into one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time.


Bobby Heenan: "Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape. Did you see that?"
