This might have resonated with me personally because of the surname, but another memory I had of yourself was being a part of The New Rockers under the name Leif Cassidy. How was it working with Marty Jannetty, and is that a team you think should have gone a bit further or had it run its course?

Obviously it had run its course, that was just where it was - but to work with Marty, I don't think people appreciate or understand how truly talented Marty Jannetty is, was, and how much Marty really contributed to the success of The Rockers.

Everyone's like, "Oh, you don't want to be the Marty Jannetty of the team," but I'll tell you what, you'd be lucky to be the Marty Jannetty of the team, and that's the truth!

He was an incredibly talented guy. The bad side is that Marty just couldn't get out of his own way a little bit, but make no mistake, Marty was incredibly talented.

I was very lucky to team with Marty, I learned a lot teaming with him, but I don't think his heart was entirely in The New Rockers because I don't know if it was the right thing to do, as that was Marty and Shawn's legacy.

I don't blame him, it's completely understandable. It ran its course. Could it have been more? Maybe, had I not made some of my mistakes and had Marty been a little more into what he wanted to do, maybe it would have gone further, but we had a good run, had some nice success and I learned a lot.
