Strike Force

Strike Force were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of Rick Martel and Tito Santana, active in the late 1980s. They were a fan-favorite team during their run.

Rick Martel was originally teamed with Tom Zenk as The Can-Am Connection. But after Zenk left the WWF, Martel found himself on the losing side of handicap matches against The Islanders until Tito Santana left his position as a Spanish announcer and came to his side. They held the WWF World tag team titles after defeating The Hart Foundation at a taping of WWF Superstars of Wrestling for 152 days before losing them to Demolition at WrestleMania IV.

The team broke up after Martel returned from a kayfabe injury and turned heel by abandoning Santana during a match against the Brainbusters.
