Skeeball Wizard Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 everyone always talks about Ric Flair stylin and profilin but Rick Martel was a dapper mother-fucker too I was always surprised/disappointed that Martel didn't get a better run in the early 90's. Thought he would have made a solid IC champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 How is that "I'm a Jim Cornette Guy" shirt legal? You would think that Mr. McDevitt would be on the phone telling Cornette that his shirt is too close to their Paul Heyman shirt. It's a different phrase and the "design" is just generic block letters. Can't trademark all words in generic block letters. And Cornette's actually contains an original design element inside one of the letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 How can every photo of Andre be so amazing. IT never gets old. The older the photo the better. My god, he was one of a kind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP Steve Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like the idea of Andre keeping Bull Bullinski around all the time, just in case he needs to lean on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 How can every photo of Andre be so amazing. IT never gets old. The older the photo the better. My god, he was one of a kind. The one pro about part-timers now is it creates a special attraction in a time when they otherwise wouldn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 everyone always talks about Ric Flair stylin and profilin but Rick Martel was a dapper mother-fucker too I think Martel looked significantly better than Flair, Bockwinkel too for that matter. Flair always, always, always came off as sleazy whereas Model and Bock carried an amount of class with them. Martel is truly the greatest IC champion that never was. The Model gimmick is one of my absolute favorites, I love the vignettes for Arrogance so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skelemania Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 There's a Rick Martel shoot on Youtube in its entirety. I believe he says the reason he didn't get a bigger push was because his accent was so thick it was hard for people to understand him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Also, his heel push came at the same time Rude, Perfect, Bret and Shawn were at IC title level. Martel WAS good, but he was a notch below all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's a shame Martel and Hart never had a WCW matchup. Bret would've probably been motivated enough to put together something worthwhile. On a side note, had Bret even debuted in-ring yet, by the time Martel had that great injury-shortened comeback? There's a Rick Martel shoot on Youtube in its entirety. I believe he says the reason he didn't get a bigger push was because his accent was so thick it was hard for people to understand him. But that's what would've made him a greater heel. A strong accent is what makes people like Barrett enjoyable to listen to. If he was clearer, his shtick wouldn't be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebbie Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sans Andre, I don't know who any of these men are, but I hope the look on the one with the black hair with his back showing to camera had a look on his face like he knew he was about to die as Andrea smooshed all them motherfuckers out of the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ray Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Blue Demon will slap your bitch ass with his shovel hands for staring at his woman's rack. And if that is Perro's daughter in the other picture, Carlos Colon might have a contender for his "blade freak with the hottest daughter" title.
