January 28, 201312 yr Author comment_5531498 Martel was really getting to a point where he had his act down around this time. You can tell Vince coached him. Gene laughs that Martel didn't read the fine print in the contract, but they don't announce what's so special about the match just yet.
February 3, 201312 yr comment_5532853 Kinda surprised they didn't announce the stip. I guess they were building the reveal for a big moment.
February 26, 201312 yr comment_5536977 "A Flair for Fashion"--that article title couldn't possibly have been an accident, could it? Okerlund points out that Martel didn't SEE all of the contract that he signed. Martel concentrates only on fine dining, fine clothing, and fine ladies--not fine print. Gene doesn't reveal the big stip yet.
March 15, 201312 yr comment_5539036 A Flair for...... fashion. That Ric doesn’t show up until summertime. Martel is laying the Model gimmick on thick. Rick will be part of WrestleMania. Gene laughs about not reading the fine print of the contract but we don’t get anymore details.
May 14, 201312 yr comment_5544661 Good promo by Martel and they continue to build up this feud as one of the main ones for WM.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_5664941 The puns were flying thick and fast with both Mean Gene and Martel here. I'm not too surprised that the blindfold match wasn't mentioned, though; big pieces of news were saved exclusively for Superstars by now. If they teased it on Challenge, it would almost certainly be announced on Superstars the following week. The cheesiest part of Martel's getup was the huge "Yes, I Am A Model" button. This is a serious question: What was it about Martel that was supposed to lead us to believe that he wasn't? I know Vince was unsubtle about his gimmicks almost as a rule, but this was not only hitting us over the head with a sledgehammer, but following it up with a two-by-four.
