7 Professions WWE Superstars May Have Portrayed Incorrectly
5. "The Model" Rick Martel
There are many kinds of models and modeling jobs in this world. If you are a fan of Seinfeld, then perhaps you recall George Costanza's quest to become a hand model. The key is that not all models are showing their full bodies or are permanently tied to endorsing a single product. A model is hired for a job, does that particular job, and moves on. They are not likely to be the proprietor of the product which they are helping to sell.
Rick Martel became "The Model" after disbanding Strike Force and turning heel. When coming to the ring, he wore a sport-coat -- initially he wore a tied sweater as part of his ring entrance -- and a pin which read "Yes, I am a model." He also carried a large branded atomizer for a brand of cologne titled 'Arrogance'. While the part about Martel endorsing a particular product is spot-on, I cannot think of a model wearing anything which tells the world that, yes, they are a model. Also, if Martel were the proprietor of the "Arrogance" brand, odds are that he would have hired a model to endorse the product instead of he himself doing all of its public promotion.
But arguably, Martel did have it right in portraying a character that was in-shape and had confidence. He also showed awareness of models working independently, and not as part of teams, which helps justify why he abandoned Tito Santana and Strike Force.
