I think I'm right in saying that both of these guys were AWA champ. The difference is that Bockwinkel did it in the glory days of the promotion and Martel did it in the 80s. Regardless of whether or not that is accurate, the fact remains that Bockwinkel was the sort of bankable talent that a company could be built around and Martel wasn't. Bockwinkel wins.
