How long did it take him to convince himself to mimic Piper's bottle smashing promo?
The question rather should be "Where does the infamous bottle smashing promo comes from?"
Martel didn't mimic the bottle smashing promo from Piper. They both first saw that gimmick done by The Beast in the Maritimes and Piper did the same promo a few years later in the Pacific Northwest while Martel did it to promote his feud against Steve Strong in Montreal. This is a funny story that is worth asking Martel.
