Man some weird questions pop into my head randomly...
Does anyone remember when Rick Martel started carrying around Arrogance and when he stopped carrying it? Was it really only for the Jake The Snake Roberts feud? Did Rick bring it to the ring after the WrestleMania 7 Blindfold match?

He had introduced Arrogance several months before the feud with Jake. I believe he stopped carrying it after the feud with Jake, though I'm not sure.

Also, he sprayed it in Tatanka's eyes. I remember Tatanka crushing the atomizer after beating him at Survivor Series 93 (Jake may have done this as well at Wrestlemania 7).

Neither Martel nor Tatanka were on the 93 card. Martel was on the heel team (along with Diesel, Adam Bomb & IRS) vs. Razor Ramon's team, of himself, 123 Kid, Marty Jannetty and Randy Savage in '93. It was Martel who Razor beat to win the vacant IC title. The Tatanka vs. Martel match was at Sur Ser '92 to blow off their feud officially. As for the atomizer gimmick, it started just after rumble 90 in taped ad segments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R6HDV7l-RY

Rick had a few Arrogance sprayers. One was in the shape of a vase and I think he had that in his first usage and again in latter 1990. He also had the blue can like sprayed and a pink sprayer and I'm guessing purple as well.

Arrogance was the hot steamy poop, as Jake Roberts found out. Back then, everybody brought something into the ring with them. To this day I still wonder why Adrian Adonis carried a briefcase which had "Relax with Trudy" scrawled on it.

Anyone know when he went from Blue to Purple? I know he went from Purple to Pink in the hiatus between just after Wrestlemania 7 and January-ish 1992? In fact does anyone know the reason for his absence

Martel randomly playing tennis: "With Arrogance you'll always be top seed" Ha, ha, haa! Practice! One shot, and you'll be in the Royal box...at Wimbledon. I didn't get it then, but now, damn, that's a dirty promo.

In fact does anyone know the reason for his absence Rick was on and off again even though it doesn't seem like it since there were so few PPVs back in the day and he made almost all of them. 1988 saw the absence between June and late 1988/early 1989 1990 saw a very short absence between summer and fall 1991, as you've noted 1993 between spring and fall (this would be the second summerslam PPV he was scheduled for and didn't do) I wonder if he was still under contract between early 1994, when he left, and 1995 rumble when he replaced Jim Neidhart. I've heard a few reasons for his absence: 1988 rumors was his wife was ill, 1991 rumor was because of the steroid scandal (why Martel would be off TV and not Bulldog or Warlord, for example, is strange), and other rumor is that he was running a real estate business and would take time off.

That tennis promo. "Arrogance. The women will Navrati-loooov it." Rick Martel was so damn awesome.
