Former AWA Champ, WWF tag champ and WCW TV Champ. LOVED Rick Martel. I've always wanted a "Yes I am a model" button.

Yeah, he was awesome. He had the look, the charisma, and the moves. He was a cool heel.

His 50+ minutes in the 91 Rumble was probably the highlight that I remember..I know it was the new record for longest in at the time.

Stood for a few years until Backlund ousted him.

Here he is with Ric Flair going against Jumbo Tsuruta and Tenryu

The battle royal on RAW, which he co-won with Razor to determine who will fight for the vacant Intercontinental title.

Rick is a very underrated talent.

I loved his comeback in WCW as well, and the feud he had with Booker T. was amazing. Great in-ring ability.

I was looking forward to the Hart - Martel feud that couldn't come together because of Rick's retirement, but those would have been some great matches IMO.

Seth82 04-09-2011 02:12 PM

god looking back now it's so funny how cheesy wrestling music videos were

here's a music video for Rick Martel from WWC puerto rico in the mid 80's

he was actually billed as being from france when he worked in puerto rico

the video is set to Hall and Oates' One on One funnily enough

it's just Martel working out and jogging lol

Loved his feud with Jake Roberts, which ended up with the blindfold match.

No, I think you're referring to the Benoit-Booker Best of 7 to determine who would wrestle Finlay for the WCW TV title.

NormanSmiley 04-09-2011 10:01 PM

i remembered that best of 7 with benoit for some reason thought booker and martel had one as well. thanks

I still remember his heel vs heel match with Shawn with the stipulations of "no punching in the face". Hilarious match, with Sherri fainting all through the fight.

That match was hilarious.

Smeg Head 05-05-2011 07:43 PM

When he (very affectionately, according to Gene Okerlund) winked at Sensational Sherri.

Anybody Thrilla 05-07-2011 08:49 PM

The "No Hitting in the Face" match will always be one of my all time favorites.
