Can-Am Connection
Real names: (RM) Richard Vigneault (TM) Tom Zenk
Homes: (RM) Montreal, Quebec, Canada/(TM) Minneapolis, MN
Membership: Rick Martel/Tom Zenk
A.K.A.: The Model/Z-Man
Finisher: Double Dropkick
Background: Rick Martel was no stranger to the 'spirit of international cooperation'. A rising star in the Service de police de la Ville de Montreal, he was partnered with New Zealand's top cop Tony Garea for a bit and managed to get on the Superstars radar.
Of course, by this time McMahon Sr. was out and Junior was in, so when the French Canadian put in an application, it was decided to partner him with someone who represented what America was all about; i.e. a total meathead
Not to say Tom Zenk was a bad person, mind you. No, Tom was more of a 'do the eight then hit the gate' kind of guy. Pretty much the exact opposite of Martel in everyway. Which would explain why they ended up fighting each other more than the crooks.
Martel would be quickly placed in another team, but that story is recounted elsewhere.
They did manage to take down the Islanders a few times but Martel made it clear he'd rather be boiled in poutine than work with Zenk any more and someone more suitable would be found...
