Frenchy Martin passes away WWE is saddened to learn that Jean Gagné, known to WWE fans as Frenchy Martin, has passed away. Though he began his WWE career as a competitor, Martin is best remembered for his time as the manager of the mighty Dino Bravo. Donning a brash monocle and a sequined beret, Martin helped his fellow French Canadian find success in 1987, while enraging American fans by carrying around a sign that read “USA Is Not OK.” Martin’s ringside antics made him a memorable face of WWE in the late ’80s despite a relatively brief run. WWE extends its condolences to Gagné’s family, friends and fans
