WWF RAW 4/3/1995

2. Kings Cort w/ Rick Martel: Jerry Lawler hosts the segment, as per usual. Lawler notes that his guest this week as a reveal of a new tag partner that he believes will assist him in reclaiming a championship. Lawler introduces his guest, Rick Martel. Martel is met with a positive reaction, which has been the case for several months now. Martel tells Lawler for the last several months his career has been in a downward spiral. Ever since Tamara ditched him for the homeless looking Brian Lee, Martel hasn’t been able to get any positive traction. Martel thinks he knows why that is. Lawler wants to know too. Well, Martel thinks it is because he’s been listening to the fans. That leads the fans to instantly turn on him. Martel has been looking around all over the world to find himself a tag team partner as he looks to get some gold around his waist. Luckily, Martel found him. In fact, it’s someone that has competed in the WWF years ago. Martel introduces… PAUL ROMA! Roma makes his way out with a cocky smirk and asks the camera “did you miss me?” Roma gets in the ring and embraces his new friend, Martel. Martel says that what we are looking at is the team known as Role Models. Martel says they are going to be showing everyone who they should aspire to be. “Because, I can tell nobody in the crowd is happy with themselves. You all have no class.” Roma chimes in and says he’s ready to dominate the WWF with Rick Martel and win the tag titles. Lawler hypes up the new team as they pose for the crowd, who is giving them good heel reaction.

Diesel makes his way out and is met with a great reaction as he holds the championship in the air. McMahon puts over Diesel for accomplishing the impossible and powerbombing Yokozuna last night at WrestleMania. Diesel proves that anyone that is met with the Jackknife stays down for the three count. This is a new era and it’s the era of Big Daddy Cool. Diesel knows that Yokozuna has a rematch clause and he’s ready to give him a rematch whenever he wants it. He doesn’t think it matters when that happens because the same result is going to happen. Diesel will defend the championship against anyone at anytime and he’s determined to go down as the greatest WWF World Champion!

Simmons believes he’s the best singles wrestler and that Vega/Tatanka proved they are the greatest tag team to ever compete in professional wrestling. They are the Movement and the final stage of their goal is to win the WWF World Championship. Simmons believes he has ended the myth of Hulkamania and now he’s going to end the new era of Big Daddy Cool. “The real new era is going to be the era of the Movement and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”
