    "Shawn superkicking Marty through the Barber Shop window" has to be the most commonly shared false memory in all of wrestling. For years before there was an internet to view these things on, that was the visual stuck in my head.

    Correcting your correction: Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape.

    Right, but it's really common to hear it described the way it is in this post.

    It's true. Today, there is zero impact when partners turn on each other because 1.) teams don't stay together long anyway and 2.) we are conditioned to expect everyone to turn, except Cena.
