Two wrestling legends met each other recently. They were none other than TNA Wrestling’s PCO and former WWE World Tag Team Champion Rick Martel.
The French Frankenstein recently took to Twitter to share a photo with the wrestling legend Rick Martel. The two managed to meet up at the National Civilization Museum. The museum launched a professional wrestling display highlighting the long history of the sport. It is in Quebec, Canada.
“PCO @ThisIsTNA with Legendary AWA World Champion NON Other than Ricky Martel @RickMartel2021 @mcqorg The National Civilization Museum (They have came up with a crazy historical pro wrestling display and it was launched last night in Quebec City,” PCO Tweeted.
Why did PCO re-sign with TNA Wrestling?
In 2022, the former ROH World Champion returned to TNA Wrestling. Late last year when his contract was coming to an end, the French Frankenstein chose to re-sign with the Nashville-based promotion. While speaking in an interview with the Battleground Podcast, PCO shared the reason why he chose to re-sign with the company.
“That’s the one thing,” PCO said, “and I’d like also, I will do everything in my power — I don’t know how much it can be influenced. But right now, the market in the province of Quebec is red hot. It’s exploding. It’s one of the biggest markets in pro wrestling right now. To have a championship match in my hometown, in the province of Quebec — it could be Montreal, anywhere in the province — that would be really significant.
“That would be awesome. Because I really got on board with the new TNA era. I feel like it’s the Roddy Piper, the Hogan, Nash, Hall, even from the beginning, the AJ Styles and Jeff Jarrett, everybody from the beginning. I think the lineage of stars that were part of TNA and just being the first signing of that new era of TNA, it meant a lot to me. But without a goal it wouldn’t mean that much,” PCO added. “But with a goal like that, trying to get on my own is something that I’m really looking forward to. I’m really focused. It doesn’t mean it’s going to happen in 2024, but it would be awesome if it does.”
