Agents didn’t have time to work with the talent. - 4.2%. Martel would slowly get up and even more slowly walk out on his tag team partner. At that time Vince McMahon was deep in the process of taking his company National, and turning both the World Wrestling Federation and his biggest star, Hulk Hogan into household names.

Rick doesn’t much watch wrestling these days but it is not because he is bitter about the changes that have happened in wrestling. On the latest Something to Wrestle, Bruce Prichard discussed Rick Martel and why he didn’t get a bigger push or have a WWE Hall of Fame induction.

So I think that Rick Martel is definitely Hall of Fame-worthy, and again when you talk about really good guys, Rick Martel is in that class too. As Rick made his business ventures profitable and self sustaining, he looked to go back into wrestling. So I think that Rick Martel is definitely Hall of Fame-worthy, and again when you talk about really good guys, Rick Martel is in that class too. One time, I picked him up and he was wearing jeans.

Like so many, I started watching Professional Wrestling in 1984. Martel garnered a total of three WWE Tag Team Championship runs; one with Santana and two with Tony Garea.

Martel captured the AWA World Heavyweight Championship in 1984 and had the longest title reign of the decade before heading back to WWE (then-WWF) in 1986, once again as a tag-team wrestler. But his body of work over the years in the biggest promotions in the world can’t be ignored from a Hall of Fame standpoint. At that time Vince McMahon was deep in the process of taking his company National, and turning both the World Wrestling Federation and his biggest star, Hulk Hogan into household names. “I wrestled under a hood as Mr. Wrestling before in Nova Scotia in a tag team match with my brother and Frenchy Martin, but Montreal was the first time I wrestled as a bad guy under my real name”.

Rick would eventually go to work for Vince McMahon Sr. in what was then called the World Wide Wrestling.

Shortly after, Rick was written off television following an angle with Demolition so that he could be home as he had to take care of his wife who was ill at the time. Zenk was not nearly as experienced as Martel, but he had a similar look and style to the experienced Quebecer.

“I heard all that about Mark, but he was nothing but great to me and he taught me a lot” he recalled. Rick with the Model gimmick didn’t need it at that point, but I do think that Rick Martel is one of those guys that the championship may have helped him. Rick 'The Model' Martel was one of the best wrestlers in WWE history with many accomplishments under his belt. Shortly following his Title loss, Martel returned to his native Quebec and bought into the Montreal based promotion, Lutte Internationale. After they split up, he teamed with Tito Santana as Strike Force.
