March 3, 2006: WWE.com announced that World Wrestling Entertainment had severed all professional ties with Marty Jannetty.

From Dave Meltzer @ WrestlingObserver.com–Marty Jannetty claimed the reason he was dropped was because he wasn’t allowed for parole reasons to travel to Alabama on Monday and thus WWE had to drop him from a continuing storyline, and that WWE is trying to help him clear it up so he can return. He was also critical of what was reported (on the internet). We (Meltzer) was given the info from somone in the WWE current inner circle that Jannetty being gone was not a work, along with the specifics already reported, as well as that creative was told to proceed as if he was gone, erase him from the already written TV and that he would never be used again. Of course in wrestling, you know what “never” means.
