As time goes by the illustrious history of Professional Wrestling is being lost day by day to the masses. The purpose of these articles is to preserve the memory of lesser known family members. They come from the same family of a recent star. They may even have been somewhat a star themselves to the fans of their generation. This is just another method of preserving Professional Wrestling history. Enjoy.

​This site is so good to educate the masses. I never knew there was such a person until an article by Greg Skelley discussing Rick Martel brought me to this nugget of information I had not known before. To give the short version (for once), he was twelve years older than Rick.

Frenchy Martin was his tag partner and his last three years were spent in Puerto Rico.

Now, TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION: he died after a heart punch by…Jose Gonzalez wrestling as Invader #1. Ten years before Jose Gonzalez stabbed Bruiser Brody to death in the same country. Michael dead at age 33.
