Martin Boroditsky started his career as a ring announcer/TV Broadcaster for New Brand Wrestling in Winnipeg. He dabbled in wrestling, but for the most part was an announcer and referee
for several years.
His broadcast work took him to Kansas City, where he worked briefly for
Central States, under promoter Bob Geigel.
In 1989, Boroditsky, with partner Dave Pinsky, opened CAN-AM WRESTLING,
running a brief tour. The tour would be all that would come of the upstart
group and they closed almost as suddenly as they had opened.
In 1991, Boroditsky became a regular in the ring, as a villain under Terry
Tomko's Canadian Wrestling League banner.
Boroditsky would wrestle for three years before a car accident hindered his
further involvement inside the ring.
In 1994, Boroditsky, with assistance from wrestlers Chi Chi Cruz & Stan
Saxon opened Rough House Rasslin', promoting solid hardcore shows throughout
the mid-year. This group was short-lived as well, but certainly made an
impact on the local scene.
In mid-1995, after a year of relative obscurity, Boroditsky returned on
River City Wrestling TV as the play-by-play announcer for that group. His
stay lasted only four episodes of TV, and he left the sport.

Memories
A genuine woman magnet. Wears a derby.
Victor Martin
One of the more intelligent people in
the business, in my estimation.
Knows a good business opportunity, and
the last time I saw him, was paired
up with famed wrassler Warren Kowalson
opening a leather goods store.
Matt Burns, Winnipeg, Mb.
I remember Marty when he was with Tony Condello's wrestling. As a
manager, he was one of the most intellectual and as a wrestler was
menace for any opponent.
Dirty Bob Denton.
"He keeps trying to get out of the business, and the business keeps PULLING him back in"
Not many people realize this, but Marty was the first person of Hebrew extraction to hold a Title from a Manitoba wrestling league. I was the second.
Dave Levinsky, Wpg.
I was on my first road trip with ECCW as a referee,
of course being new around i had a lot of work to do,
well i remember that there were some problems with the
ring truck and all of our bags were kept in the hotel
lobby, nowhere to put them. It was up to Marty to
decide who stayed to watch the bags. Big Suprise...it
was me being the youngest and newest guy on the
trip.But the strange thing is, that no matter how
annoyed i was at the situation, I still couldn't bring
myself to be mad at Marty. He is just that kinda guy
that you couldn't hate no matter how hard you tried.
