Been watching all the tagged classics, seems rick martel was just the best worker in the 1991 Rumble, its just great to see!
When having a look at early 1990s events, Tornado looks so out of control, its upsetting. I am a scottish 26 year old lass new to this board, so please bear with me!

Welcome to the boards, please enjoy your stay.
And awesome to see another giving Mr. Martel tons of respect. I know for myself he's the greatest of all the times.

Thank you! He is just seamless. Of all the times!
Can I really get in depth chat about 1989-1992 pay per vies here? Great! Although I normally repeat watch the Heenan commentary events.

Hey hey, welcome to the boards! Enjoy it.
And, in the initial post, are you referring to "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich? Or some other Tornado I can't think of right now?
And yeah, Martel was an awesome rassler.

The Model Rick Martel... he was one of my favorites with Mr. Perfect...
What I cannot understand is why he was never on the top of the card. I mean, he had the arrogant heel gimmick down, he was a fluid worker... just what was he missing that didn't let him get to the top?

I only recently discovered that Martel has a cult following. I've always liked him, but I thought I was the only one. I just wish he wasn't given the lame "Model" gimmick in the WWF, because he could have been a long-standing upper mid-carder had he been given the proper opportunity.

Welcome the board first off.
Yeah great to see some Martel love. I thought he work in the Rumble was awesome. More awesome was the fact they gave the record to that point to someone who midcard. It made his other few rumble appearences more important.
