"The Model" Rick Martel titantron

[vicehoganzz]

Rick should have been an Intercontinental Champion atleast once. He was a great bad guy back in the days and he's theme is so cool.

[TheHaloRed]

Yes, I am a Model.

[shashwatrock1979]

Man, he was so deserving but never got a shot at the big time.

[RassilonsArmy]

He looks a little bit like Sylvester Stallone, only just noticed it, ha ha.

[cinderblok]

Great porn music from the Spice Channel. It's amazing how much the WWF wanted Sean Morely to play a late 90s version of The Model Rick Martell. They took his music, retooled his gimmick for the Attitude era, and he STILL couldn't hold a candle to The Model.

[RPenta]

A great wrestler; great physique; talented wrestler who was a great face-although I think he was a better face in tag team and a great heel. Also the most handsome wrestler ever. What a funny gimmick and only Rick could have pulled it off.

Ditto: I love that 80's saxophone.

[XaMaS35]

Very nicely done! All without the WWF logo on any of the bottom corner. Awesome work especially since you have to work with older footage to make this. :D

[rockys201]

he looks a bit like sly stallone!!

[hankeyj84]

I'd perhap the models' theme to cody's smoke and mirrors :).

[ImAlriteGuy]

rick martel and tito santana were a good tag team

[bama79rolltide]

I love the button. Yes, I am a model hahahha

[robbiegloverofficial]

@bama79rolltide I met him recently & asked him about this badge .. he's still got it ... I said "is it like a momoribilia/memories thing" & he said 'Yeah' .. he was such a nice dude!

I want one of those badges too haha

[LynxFATE12]

Perhaps one of the most underrated heels of the 80's and 90's.

[PYLrulz1984]

@Killedbyamen

I always saw Val Venis as what Rick Rude would of been had he been a face

[rtannjr]

great heel theme.

[legomason98]

rick martel should've been intercontinental champion.

[NeptuneNetwork]

Rick Martel should have been WWF Champion.

[BoukenCrimson]

WWE has re-hired Val Venis. Giving him a "model" gimmick would be perfect for the PG-Era WWE.

[Archipel007]

The best porno music ever.

[moralito322]

Rick Martel was the AWA world heavyweight champion.and this song is awesome

[largest85]

Dashing Cody Rhodes comes to mind

[whysoserious89]

I never got why so many of these guys weren't champion(s)

[TBFCOneWingedAngel]

@whysoserious89

they were

just not in WWF

Martel was one of the best in AWA or NWA i forget which, during their latter years when the companys were still going strong

[whysoserious89]

@TBFCOneWingedAngel well i meant when they came to WWF...And theres actually a promo on here of Rick Martel after he wins the AWA or NWA title.

[anthonydeadman]

O_O....and i thought Matt Striker was gay! lol jk jk! but honestly this guy was indeed the Original Val Venus his talent in the ring was great and lets be honest..he had a face all the ladys would obviously drool over! XD I wonder what he does these days.

[Killedbyamen]

@anthonydeadman I dont know about the original Val Venis. I always thought Venis was a complete ripoff of Rick Rude.

[malaysianmetalhead]

Cody Rhodes should have picked this as his theme instead of that gay music he using...

[ajax420336]

Handsome Boy Modeling School wants handsome fells to train to become successful male models. Bring your beautiful face and a check for $60 down to our swank offices located off Route 9 behind the Carpet Warehouse.

[bison48236]

val venis has got nothing on the model!!!!!!!!!!! Wannabe!

[TravisDrago]

I love this theme reminds me of a restaurant my family used to go all the time for christmas eve dinner

[gtz1975]

Hello ladies...

[JKAFinal]

The original Val Venis

[macdeath69]

So bad it's good...

[terrareus13]

As much as I disliked his personality back in the 90's, he is a hell of a lot better than any wrestler nowadays. Plus he was one of those heels I loved to hate.

[TITOMONTE]

and remember Haha.......Arrogance is not only a fragance, Is a Way of Life!!

[bigwhiteballs27]

It must have been embarrassing for him to play the gay model with the porno music

[adam2O]

LOL the jazz music only reminds me of one wrestler. Val Venis!!!

[BEastmix]

Back when the theme music would say just as much about the wrestler as the wrestler himself. Good times.

WWE should go back to the midi themes.

[Antildo]

Sylvester stallone 0:27 :D

[valvenis30]

Actually guys this was sampled to make Val Venis music and he was and still is the man! But Rick Martel had a great run too. Nothing like the good ol days of WWF!!!

[gtz1975]

Those FOUR people who dislike this video have NO CLASS for the Model!

[dullKnife]

the leader of the all member survivor team the visionaries!

[Gr8muta]

Great Video man! Martel deserves this!! 

[DeGenerationY1989]

Rick Martel is a fuckin legend!!!

[ThePonkiii]

Martel und Dibease the best WWF's Heels ever.

[jigsawsNEWaprentice]

lol sounds like porno music

[gtz1975]

I always thought Johnny Cage of Mortal Kombat reminds me alot of Rick the Model Martel...

[ylwapple45]

@gtz1975 I've thought the same exact thing many many times!

[SydneyRico69]

I miss Rick, i'm happy WCW gave him a run wit the TV title and the good matches tht him and Booker T had.

[VinceVicious1]

The Model was fucking great! He was one of my faves back in the day. The way he looked so shocked & sorry when he sprayed Jake the Snake in the eyes only to come out the next week saying that he did it on purpose. Classic Martel!

[ryansilkmen]

when is the model gonna b inducted in to the wwe hall of fame

[classicWCW]

Val Venis wishes he was Rick Martel

[logom0]

and before anyone asks; YES HE IS A MODEL

[Stoyns619]

CLASSIC 80's/90's MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

[LonesomePaleRider]

Is it just me or does he kinda look like sylvester stallone with those glasses.

[jbott614]

heel is bad guy face is good guy!!!!!!!!!

[gtz1975]

Hello Ladies...

[magicman29]

WWE Hall of Fame needs more arrogance.. Rick "The Model" Martel has all that and then some

[SlicRic81]

0:06 I ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY MISS that entranceway!!!! It was even COOLER when the lights moved!!!!!!!!! Nostalgia RULES!!!!!

[logom0]

im not a fan of heels but this guy makes u like him no matter how arrogant he is, 1 of my favourite wrestlers ever! why did the wwe turn bad? (my oppinion)

[johnied8509]

whats the diffrence from heel and face.

[magicman29]

@johnied8509 Heel is the bad guy and face is the good guy.

[AndrewsOpinion15]

sounds like porn music !!!!

[dansaint2249]

@AndrewsOpinion15 funny you should say that because this song was altered a little bit to create the music for Val Venis

[jka12002redux]

did this guy ever turn face? i cant remember

[TITOMONTE]

wwf intento volverlo face pero no siguio el angulo.

[jka12002redux]

can you repeat that, in english.....

[TITOMONTE]

ok . before this gimmick he was face with strikeforce , the the model , before his feud with hbk WWF try to do his turnface but only was for one or 2 months

[jka12002redux]

@TITOMONTE

thanx for the info

[princesstamika]

@jka12002redux He was a face his entirecareer (about 15 years) before he became the Model which was the only heel run of his entire career. He'd always been a babyface because when he was starting out cute/good looking guys were always faces and never heels, unlike nowadays.

[LIFESUX1987j]

never

[underpathunderpath]

Once Martel turned Heel in 1989 he never turned face again. He stayed face all the way up until 1995 when he retired from the WWE. He was a face for many years before that heel turn though.

[dullKnife]

the guy who dont care if he is champ or not as long as he entertains

[Lotusangels]

Pink badges. Yes. I am a model.

So smug and bcos of that I like his style.

[NeptuneNetwork]

How he never won the world title is beyond me.

[mak103]

Actually he was a World Champion. He wasn't in the WWE but he was in a old wrestling promotion AWA (American Wrestling Association). You can look it up for yourself.

[NeptuneNetwork]

I remember the AWA reign. But you cannot tell me 'The Model' feuding with Hulk Hogan or Randy Savage over the world title wouldn't have been a Wrestlemania match of the ages. The Model should have been WWF Champ, there were few as hated at the time as him.

[Screwcharger85]

Yes, I'm a Model

[dsrra]

I remember when he was near of let the legendary Jake The Snake blind, with that thing!!, waooooo, i can't believe time is running so fast.....

[TBDV1]

2010 HOF!!!!

and host of Raw!!!!

[dullKnife]

the man of the 90's

[dullKnife]

arrogance!

[RMT229]

Rick should of been IC Champ imo.

[BIGGIEDEVIL]

very under rated and talented too

[hayabusafmw]

best underrated talent of the wwf era

should of been world champ

[MiamiIndianTribe]

pure blooded faggot

[AndrewsOpinion15]

he did come back at wwe vengeance night of champions back on june 24 2007!!!!

[Risaddum]

i hope i hear this music at the 2010 WWE Hall of Fame ;-)

[q1111w]

@Risaddum

I wish he would walk in like this

[aznluvr7]

Ever see his "commercials" for arrogance cologne? Man, the sexual innuendo, I'm surprised they could get away with that!

[lunarnut]

lol that saxophone work is just awesome. I've always loved that 80s sound.

[BroMan0282]

@lunarnut this was the way early 90's

[lunarnut]

@BroMan0282 ah yes, BUT! the sax was a staple in 80s music and that's what I was referring too! I've been a wrestling fan for many a-year. I wouldn't make a mistake on who was in what era :P

[benl79]

I want to see rick martel back in the wwe.

[kriccistarr]

@benl79 me too he could teach alot of the guy how to truly entertain

[Jabbaro123]

Lol Rick Martel is a classic.

[MikeCinKC]

I always get a laugh when I see his button, Martel was a great wrestler though. Nobody could do "The Model" gimmick like he could.

[MrPerfect2000Z]

Mr Arrogance himself

[DavidDebka]

Haha, he was great.

Both as a technical wrestler, and for his ability to piss off so many grown men.

I loved his fued with HBK and on-screen dalliances with Sherri!

[Risaddum]

'hmm...arrogance...' i love it

[undervato19]

He was a great wrestler, probaly one of the greatest talkers too. He liked his fued with Tito Santana

[Saboi253]

One of my favorite Character(s) and Wrestlers of all time!! What a great persona!! I really liked his feud with Jake Roberts... And also I heard that the guy who came up with "the Model" Gimmick was none other then J.J. Dillion; I give him props for that one.

[CraigJericho]

It was also Gino Hernandez's old gimmick & Martel took it & made it better

[mae2759]

0:30 - I love old school 80's WWE promo back drops with the wrestler's name. Sooo cheezy. haha!

[Denverboi21983]

thats what made it so great!!! LOL I miss these days

[richyungstars]

wasup wit this guys walk ?

[DavieP26]

Summerslam 92, when he came to the ring in tennis gear ,...lol. Deserved a much bigger push than his character got.

[AaronRouse37]

Val Venis ripped his theme music off from The Model.

The Model was THE 2ND BEST HEEL AFTER THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN!!!!!!

[griffinisnumber1]

Apparently the gimmick Martel used, which WWE Creative called for, was for him to act overly flamboyant....not gay....like a model....shows how much you know. lol

[peridotsparkle]

ummm whatever smartass

[griffinisnumber1]

thats me. the smartass. :)

[purelyphysical]

youre also a homophobe :)

[theogofextreme]

great idea for a match... Martel vs. HBK vs. Fabio vs. Rick Rude

[cosmokramerrules]

it was funny when he spray jake the snake roberts in the eye's great feud..

blind fold match was just a horrible idea tho

[thephantomplatypus]

Yes, I am the Model!

[spider1974]

Sounds like porn music.

[armandroh666]

A former AWA Champion, as well as a 2x wwFe tag-team champion. As pushed as he was, his ability in the ring got overlooked.

[KingKong317]

at one time, i believe 1985, the 3 most popular in the top federations were hogan, flair, and martel.

[Denverboi21983]

One of the best heels of all time!

[tanaysinha1]

talent bros one of the most talented guys who deserved the wwf championship.

[kliqmember555]

hes gay

[chuninofcool]

Ricky has a wife and a daughter and now is a realtor in Quebec.

[HugeDickNick]

Martel is hotter than rude

[MarioCyrascoII]

This kind of soothing jazz feeling feels like you're going out in a romantic way. But with Martel, watch out, Arrogance will come at you. I just love this theme. Could you say "Something for the bedroom?"

[aaronbailey100]

one of my favorites themes

[tonshaad1230]

You should do a Rick Rude Titantron!!! Your titantrons are the best!

[Word4Life]

YES HE IS A MODEL

[BIGGIEDEVIL]

song kinda sounds like val venis theme or the other way around

[Word4Life]

but this one is better!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

just what I thought too.. :D

[megaman2160]

this is a good porn song

[MrPerfect2000Z]

I just bought a can of arrogrance!

I WAS THAT CLOSE TO SPRAYING IT IN MY EYES!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

:D

You get all the women now dont you? :D

[MrPerfect2000Z]

Yes

I am now a model!

[SpeakingOfWrestling]

sometimes life just as simple as that :D

[KyleEdwardFait]

Future hall of famer baby!

[fartmansnewaccount]

allready in baby

[MrPerfect2000Z]

What you mean hes already in the WWE Hall of Fame

No he isn't look at his wikipedia page and look under his championships in wwe and Hall of Fame isn't among them

Look

[chuninofcool]

Bo he isn't. But his ex-Tag Team partner, Tito Santana, is

[AugerMartel]

"Yes, I am a model."

[EbayFigureReviews777]

if anyone is curiouse about his action figure counterpart..I did a review of it.

[atticus805]

Val Venis used a variation of that theme

[wolverine6511]

Great Gimmick...hilarious and very entertaining.

[dullKnife]

wwe is a moron if they dont induct him on te hall of fame

[scousehead]

mint gimmick, mint theme, mint wrestler, 100 % underrated!!

[EbayFigureReviews777]

0:36 ---doesnt he sorta look like sylvester stallon from like Demolition man/judge dredd days? lol

[dullKnife]

this guy whould be hall of famer

:you got no class:

[KillerDreck89]

Kona Crush too.

[KevinThornDarkFan]

Real Man!

[EbayFigureReviews777]

It takes a REAL man to wear nothin but a PINK speedo lol

[rorymarshall1]

lmao!!

[TheBlackFranchise]

Chezzy 80's elevator/porn music. But i still love it. Damn i miss the 80's wrestlers.

[KillerDreck89]

Me too, I miss him, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Bam Bam Bigelow, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, The Mounite, and many more.

[tsounais]

legion of doom belongs to hall of fame

[nwo4life2775]

he should be in the hall of fame, to me he had a great gimmick and not many guys could pull it off like he did. then was in a great tag team with tito as strike force, and tom zenk as can am connection. martel is a legend no doubt, vince hall of fame 2010 i want macho man, rick rude, ric martel, demoltion, razor ramon. ultimate warrior, all these guys should be hall of famers

[DocLeggz]

Well, I can pretty much guarantee you'll never see the Ultimate Warrior in the Hall of Fame. After watching the DVD WWE did about him and seeing what Vince and everyone else thought about him I really don't see him ever getting into the Hall.

[mideon79]

I agree, It doesn´t matter, if they had a beef with vince, or arn´t populair with the other wrestlers, the moest important thing, is they all make a stam on wrestling and made so succesfull, vince should bow down to all of them.

and honor them of all the hard work.

al the.

they deserves the respecten be put in the hall of fame.

[TITOMONTE]

el debio haber estado en el roster de legends of wrestlemania

[PetrovIvanMartin]

no eres el unico yo tambien estoy de acuerdo en lo que has dicho. si, por ejemplo, está Michael Hayes, ¿por qué no Martel?

[powwowcritic13]

HUH?!

[PetrovIvanMartin]

I said: If Michael Hayes is in Legends of Wrestlemania roster, why not Rick Martel?

[powwowcritic13]

i agree!!!

[johnied8509]

who is micheal hayes

[TheBlackFranchise]

Type in The Fabolous Freebirds or Bad Street U.S.A. and you will see who they are. But Just to help you out Terry "Bam Bamm" Gordy and Tom Prichard, and Micheal P.S. Hayes (the mouth) was that stable from the 80's that kicked major ass.

[MKchampion726]

rick martel for 2010 hall of fame!!! it just seems reasonable

[chuninofcool]

Amen. He's the best French Canadian wrestler that graced the WWE ring

[stryker1707]

this theme kicks ass, its catchy and shiet, screw the haters! lol. I first heard it when I was playing the genesis version of Royal Rumble! I was a kid lol. wrestling was the krazy times during the WWF years!

[mavenstorm7]

this guy was classic! Rick Martel ALL THE WAY!

[silverbeast75]

what a narsascsist but thats why we love em

[Jabbaro123]

Know one has done the lover boy gimmick like Rick Martel or Rick Rude. The only person that can probably do it right now is Santino or The Brian Kendrick.

[BlackaDenBlack]

He had a classic with Razor Ramon for the IC belt

[DarkStar423]

love the button.' YES . I AM A MODEL' classic stuff.. didn't he have a fued with jake 'the snake'?

[ramkidd123]

he was in strike force with tito santana before we went solo. geart idea with the model. he had great solo matches a shame he never won any titles. yes he should be in the hall of fame with tito.

[legendofmetal777]

a little repetitive,,but still good video

[roger62383]

ATTENTION this guy was one of the best

hall of fame 2010

[TravisDrago]

I don't about you guys but I smell Arrogance

[SORA5184]

me too..... Arrogance...the delightful sense
