Jean Gagné

World Wrestling Federation (1986–1990) Martin debuted in the WWF in October 1986. Initially a full-time wrestler, he would primarily be used as an enhancement talent, losing the majority of his matches. In August 1987, he began to be the host of a WWF's skit "Le Studio" (presented only in Canada, during Superstars of Wrestling); during the segment, he would interview his guests and translate their answers in French, using the opportunity to mock the faces and praise the heels. Since he spoke fluent Spanish from his years in Puerto Rico, he hosted a similar segment for WWF's Spanish-language TV called "Frenchy's Easel." Throughout 1987, he would make regular appearances as color commentator on the French-language WWF programming alongside Edouard Carpentier and Guy Hauray. Martin began managing Dino Bravo in late 1987. During his alliance with Bravo, Martin regularly carried a sign down to ringside that read "USA is not OK". In March 1988, he managed Bravo at WrestleMania IV in a match against Don Muraco. During a rematch at SummerSlam in August, Martin distracted Bravo's opponent Muraco to allow Bravo to get the victory. In October at the King of the Ring, Martin managed Bravo in a loss over Jim Duggan in a flag match. He also appeared at Bravo's side at Saturday Night's Main Event XVII at the end of October for Bravo's match against Ken Patera. On Thanksgiving night, he also appeared at Survivor Series.

Martin also managed Jos LeDuc in 1988, but LeDuc's run in the WWF was short and he made very few appearances on television. At the Royal Rumble in January 1989, Bravo, accompanied by Martin, teamed with The Fabulous Rougeaus (Jacques and Raymond), but lost a two out of three falls match against Jim Duggan and The Hart Foundation (Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart). At WrestleMania V in April 1989, after Bravo's match with Ron Garvin, Martin attacked Garvin, and as a result, Garvin performed his signature maneuver, the "Garvin Stomp" on him. Bravo replaced Martin in favor of Jimmy Hart in April 1989.

Later, Martin appeared as an occasional enhancement talent on weekly WWF television broadcasts, reviving his initial role with the company when he joined the WWF in 1986. His return as a wrestler came on January 5, 1990 at a house show in Des Moines, Iowa where he faced Tito Santana. He would wrestle a variety of opponents, including Tugboat, Paul Roma, Jim Powers, Mark Young, Koko B Ware, Jim Brunzell, and others. On May 4 he defeated Rico Frederico in Tampa, FL, and his final match came on May 11, 1990 in Long Island, NY where he faced Paul Roma, after which Gagné retired from wrestling.

Later years (1990–2016) After leaving the WWF, Martin eventually became head booker for the IWA in Puerto Rico. At the International Wrestling 2000 card at the Centre Pierre Charbonneau, Gagné as Frenchy Martin managed Richard Charland in the semi-main event against King Kong Bundy. Until his death he continued to make guest appearances for indie shows across Canada and the US.
