:''Not to be confused with Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon, sometimes billed as The Can-Am Express.'' The Can-Am Connection was a tag team composed of Rick Martel and Tom Zenk in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) through 1986 and 1987. ==History== In 1986, the Canadian Rick Martel returned to the WWF with his then tag team partner, the American Tom Zenk, as the Can-Am Connection. The Can-Am Connection had been formed by Martel in the Montreal International Wrestling Association in 1986. Tom Zenk was the boyfriend of Martel's sister-in-law, and had been introduced to Martel in the AWA by Curt Hennig. The team made their televised debut in WWF on the November 15, 1986 episode of ''Superstars'' against the team of Steve Lombardi and Moondog Spot which they won.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 WWF Ring Results 1986 )〕 The Can Am Connection contested a series of matches with former tag-team champions The Dream Team (Brutus Beefcake and Greg Valentine), the team of Kamala and Sika, and the team of Magnificent Muraco and "Ace" Cowboy Bob Orton, whom they would face and defeat in the opening match of WrestleMania III. The Can Am Connection's last feud would be against The Islanders, a feud that began on ''WWF Superstars of Wrestling'' in the summer of 1987. In this match, the Islanders turned heel by revealing their association with manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Shortly after this match Tom Zenk left the WWF due to a pay dispute, wrestling their last match together on July 9, 1987 against the Islanders.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 WWF Ring Results 1987 )〕 To this day Tom Zenk and Rick Martel have differing opinions on the matter of why Tom Zenk left the WWF,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tom Zenk interview )〕 all but eliminating the chance of a Can-Am Connection reunion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Can-Am Connection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
