From PWInsider:
Martinez broke into the business training with the Monster Factory in New Jersey and became a regular with ROH after a strong performance in the 2016 Top Prospect Tournament, which was won by Lio Rush. He was signed to a contract in July 2016. During his run with the company, Martinez was aligned with Kevin Sullivan and BJ Whitmer, won the 2017 Survival of the Fittest and toured with New Japan via ROH’s working relationship with that company.
Editor’s Opinion:
I actually know nothing about this superstar. However, if NXT is interested in him, then he must definitely have some potential!
