Bruce Prichard jokes that the entire world would have ceased to exist if Marty Jannetty had thrown Shawn Michaels through the Barber Shop Window.
Shawn Michaels breaking up The Rockers and throwing Marty Jannetty through the Barber Shop Window in 1992 changed the course of professional wrestling history forever and would make Marty's name more famous as the comparison to the less-successful half of a former tag team.
While there is no doubt of this moment's impact on wrestling history, what if Shawn Michaels betraying Marty Jannetty is the actual linchpin of the functional universe?
Speaking on the Something to Wrestle podcast, Bruce Prichard hypothesizes just that as he jokingly suggests reversing the scenario and having Marty turn on Shawn would cause the world to stop spinning on its axis.
"I think the world would have changed. It all would have stopped. That's like the Bizarro world. It would have stopped, and the world would have ceased to continue spending on axis, come to a screeching halt, and gone in reverse," Bruce said.
Marty Jannetty will be the subject of an upcoming Dark Side of The Ring episode. Fans can check out the full lineup here.
