Face–Heel Turn: During Strike Force's match with the Brainbusters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) at WrestleMania V, Santana accidentally collided with Martel. Martel responded by walking out on the match, leading to Santana taking the Brainbusters' Spike Piledriver and losing the match.

Beware the Nice Ones: Worked a gimmick like this during his WCW run. He was billed as a good guy with a fiery French temper that he'd lose in response to foul play. His face opponents tended to inadvertently set it off - for example, during a match Martel tried to leap frog Booker T. at the same time as Booker tried a back body drop, leading to Booker inadvertently headbutting Martel in the groin. Martel lost his temper and worked a brutal borderline heelish style for the rest of the match.
