Hunter Hearst Helmsley delivers a botched Pedigree to Marty Garner

Though Garner has primarily worked on the independent scene, he has also made numerous appearances for WWE as an enhancement talent, beginning in December 1995 against Jeff Jarrett.^[2] He then made several appearances in 1996 and 1997 against wrestlers such as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Jerry Lawler, Jim Neidhart, Yoshihiro Tajiri, and Marc Mero.^[3] ^[4]

[edit] Pedigree Incident

On May 28, 1996, Marty Garner took on Hunter Hearst Helmsley during the taping of WWF Superstars. During the match, Helmsley went for his finisher, the Pedigree. It is reported that Garner, who had not taken the move before, assumed it was either a double underhook powerbomb or suplex. So Garner gave much more jump into the move and attempted to flip out of it while Helmsley went through the move as usual. This resulted in a very violent version of the move in which Garner landed directly on top of his head and suffered neck damage. Garner sued the WWF, eventually settling out of court, and later appeared on an episode of The Montel Williams Show discussing the incident. This incident was captured on video, and circulated throughout the internet. However, in the video, many people often mistake Garner for Shawn Michaels, or a younger Jeff Hardy. ^[1]
