I bet that was either a high school show or a ... hmmm, what venue would be smaller than a high school gym?

Someone's backyard.

The rich kid in town had a birthday party.

And that is on shit card.

He sure was, Frenchy managed Bravo until I believe somewhere around WrestleMania 5, if not that event itself. Ronnie Garvin punked out Martin after the WM5 match, so that might have been his send off.

I actually saw Frenchy Martin vs KoKo B. Ware on TV here as part of a taping at Maple Leaf Gardens. The only time I had ever heard of Martin wrestling until now.

[Guest_MikeSC_*]

I remember Frenchy wrestling.

He was a total bloody jobber.

He was the kind of guy Koko would beat on TV.

[cawthon777]

Wasn't he somewhat of a name wrestler in Montreal?

[Guest_MikeSC_*]

I assume so. He likely joined up when they took over whatever the hell Tunney was running.

[cawthon777]

I assume so. He likely joined up when they took over whatever the hell Tunney was running.

Different promotion. Tunney only ran Toronto.

Frenchy probably came in with the Rougeaus and Dino in 86. I think Haku was working Montreal full time at that point as well.

[King Kamala]

I researched Portales, New Mexico on Yahoo and I found it was the home of the well respected institution of education, Eastern New Mexico State. I bet the show was there, somewhere on campus.


Still that's miserable 1995esque attendance for a show, even if it was a C show.
