The New Rockers were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Marty Jannetty & Leif Cassidy that teamed in 1996. In September 1995, Marty Jannetty returned to the WWF and initially worked in the singles division. In early 1996, Jannetty was introduced to Al Snow and told that he would be his new partner as the New Rockers. The idea was initially going to be a more or less straight up return to the Rockers gimmick, but the decision was soon made to turn them more "silly" and become comedy heels according to Marty Jannetty in the book The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams. They were told that the idea was for them to be like watching the 1960s television show The Monkees, complete with Al Snow being named "Leif Cassidy" as a play off 1970s idols David Cassidy and Leif Garrett.
