number 50? really? shittin' me! yes, he was a model, but 50? I call bullshit. Martel was a damn good heel when he turned, but he was wasted on the midcard. never did anything of note other than his feuds with Santana and Roberts. oh, and Michaels didn't win their SummerSlam '92 match. it was stopped when both men broke the "no hitting in the face" rule. research.
Martel held the AWA world title for almost 2 years, back before everything was WWF. AWA was actually seen as higher quality wrestling at that time. [/quote]
I'm aware of that, but even the article mentions how his submission loss weakened his standing. he never really recovered from that. basing length of time of his reign plus higher match quality I could easily make the case for Shane Douglas being in this spot due to his ECW runs. I'm not questioning Martel being on the list, just his overly high placement.
