He also briefly reappeared in Extreme Championship Wrestling.He would continue to have some mild success in the Indies, but he would never reach the success he had before In 2004 Jannetty would have a break down. He had reached dangerous levels of depression.He even went as far as calling all his friends and family and telling them he was going to kill himself It was a desperate cry for help from a broken down soul. His cries would not be UN heard though.Marty Jannetty would get a call that he never expected. His long time friend and tag partner, Shawn Michaels called him by chance just to check up on him. It would turn out to be a life changing moment for Jannetty.After hearing the disparaging news of his former partner, Michaels would go to his aid, this time as just a friend He would be re baptised as a born again Christian. 
At the service along his side was none other than HBK and Sting. It was a heartfelt moment for all parties involved.In 2005, Michaels was in a feud with Kurt Angle, with the two signed for a match at Wrestlemania. Angle announced in his promo that he would do everything that Michaels had in his career in only a month's time.One of the things Angle spoke about was facing Michaels old partner, Marty Jannetty. Jannetty showed up on the next Raw, where Michaels let him know that he would be making his first return on the show in a tag-team match.The Rockers would reunite to take on La Resistance; Jannetty would look good after so many years away from the WWF. Jannetty would get the victory, after landing the Rocker Dropper on Conway.Jannetty would also go on to have an outstanding match with Kurt Angle. In fact he performed so well in the match he would be offered another contract.

Unfortunately his troubled past would catch up with him again.He was arrested due to a domestic disturbance and was unable to make the show He was released a short time later by the WWE. He would once again have to return to the independent scene.After that he has made some brief appearances with the WWE. He was unable to make the show with out breaking his parole.
