The Rockers Championship Victory Ruined By Broken Ring.

On October 30, 1990, The Rockers (Marty Janetty & Shawn Michaels) took on The Hart Foundation for the WWF World Tag-Team Titles in a two-out-of-three falls match for the Saturday Night Main Event show.

During the match the top rope broke by accident making the match a disjointed affair that would require serious clean up before it could be shown on TV. The Rockers only made one title defense on November 3, 1990 (against Power & Glory) before WWE decided not to air the match.

Shortly after November 3rd it was decided to not air the title change and that the titles would revert to the Hart Foundation. In his book Shawn Michaels claims that the Hart Foundation had politicked to keep the titles.

Michaels claim is contradicted by other claims that the WWF had actually fired Jim Neidhart forcing the title change but after the match the two sides came to an agreement and Neidhart was brought back.

Whatever the reason the Rockers were never officially credited with a title win but footage from the match was shown prior to Marty Jannetty’s WWF return in 1995. The match can be seen in its entirety on the 'Shawn Michaels Story: Heartbreak and Triumph' DVD.

Because it never aired, the match was not clipped and thus is shown in full with no commentary; the only edit being after the second fall when a ring crew arrived to reattach the broken rope.
