Marty Jannetty started trending on Twitter on Wednesday after the former WWE Superstar took to Facebook and posted a disturbing message, one in which he claimed to have made a man “disappear” back in 1973. The post has since been deleted, though screenshots have continued to circulate online. Jannetty wrote, “I never told no one this, even my brother Geno..cause Geno would’ve killed him, and I didn’t want my brother gone,,hell he’d only recently came home from Viet Name..I was 13, working at Victory lanes bowling alley buying weed from a fโ that worked there..and he put his hands on me..he dragged me around to the back of the building..you already know what he was gonna try to do.
