From 1998 to 2002, Martini gained foundational experience wrestling primarily as a singles competitor in small Michigan-based independent promotions such as ICW, Wrestling, and Global Wrestling Alliance, where he endured a steep learning curve marked by consistent losses against established talents like and Steve Nixon.

Professional wrestling career

Independent circuit (1998–2009)

Truth Martini began his professional wrestling career on the in the Midwest following his debut in 1998, establishing himself through consistent performances in regional promotions. His involvement with Independent Wrestling Revolution (IWR) from 2002 to 2007 marked a significant period, where he primarily competed as a specialist alongside Anthony Rivera under the faction name The Threat. Together, they captured the IWR Tag Team Championship on four occasions, including their initial reign on July 27, 2002, after defeating and in . The duo's successful runs highlighted Martini's ability to thrive in high-energy tag matches, contributing to multiple defenses and title changes within the promotion. During this IWR tenure, Martini also pursued singles success, winning the IWR King of the Indies Championship twice between 2004 and 2007. His first reign began on April 16, 2005, when he defeated Breyer Wellington, Eddie Venom, , Jaimy Coxxx, and Stevie Lee in a multi-man match, holding the title for 98 days before vacating it. He regained the title on October 29, 2005, following a vacancy and defended it in notable multi-person bouts, such as retaining against , Eddie Venom, , , and N8 Mattson on November 2, 2005. These victories underscored his growing prominence as a versatile competitor capable of navigating battle royals and scramble matches. By 2007, Martini's final IWR appearances shifted toward sporadic tag team efforts, solidifying his status within the promotion before transitioning to other circuits. Martini expanded his presence across other Midwest independents, including stints in All American Wrestling (AAW) from 2006 to 2007, where he teamed with N8 Mattson as The Michigan Invasion to win the AAW Tag Team Championship on November 4, 2006, in a four-way match defeating the champions Dan Lawrence and Ryan Boz, along with Krotch and Zach Gowen; they had previously challenged for the titles, losing to Ryan Boz and Dan the Man on September 9, 2006. In Blue Water Championship Wrestling (BCW), he secured the BCW Can-Am Tag Team Championship with N8 Mattson on June 27, 2004, holding it for 84 days until a loss to Petey Williams and Bobby Roode on September 19, 2004. Metro Pro Wrestling (MPW) featured Martini as the MPW Cruiserweight Champion in 2004, though he dropped the title to Petey Williams on May 21, 2004, in a pivotal match that highlighted his cruiserweight agility. Similarly, in Xtreme Intense Championship Wrestling (XICW), Martini achieved multiple successes, including winning the XICW Intense Championship against Chris Hero on December 7, 2003, and securing the XICW Tag Team Championship seven times across various partners, with a notable defense alongside Jaimy Coxxx in 2007. Throughout these years, Martini evolved into a technical midcarder, emphasizing submission holds, chain wrestling, and quick tags in partnership with agile performers like Rivera and Mattson, which suited the fast-paced indie environment. His feuds, often involving multi-man stipulations or title pursuits against rising stars such as Sabin and Gowen, showcased a style rooted in precision and endurance rather than power moves. By 2009, Martini's consistent booking across these regional shows—totaling dozens of appearances annually in the Midwest—had built a solid reputation as a reliable draw, leading to fewer in-ring commitments and the onset of sporadic outings.

Ring of Honor (2010–2016)

Truth Martini entered at the Violent Tendencies event on June 26, 2009, managing the of Josh Raymond and Christian Able as the inaugural members of his House of Truth in a losing effort against Kevin Steen and El Generico. This debut paved the way for his full-time involvement starting in 2010, where he shifted exclusively to a managerial role, leveraging his background from the independent circuit to establish credibility within the promotion. By this point, Martini had refined his "Truth Martini" persona as a self-professed Life Intervention Expert, often seen sipping martinis at ringside and employing cunning interference tactics, such as distractions and weapon-assisted attacks, to aid his clients during matches. In early 2010, Martini aligned with , becoming his primary manager and guiding him through a series of high-profile victories that culminated in Strong defeating Tyler Black for the at Glory By Honor IX on September 11, 2010. Martini's involvement extended to title defenses, including a successful retention against at on December 18, 2010, where his ringside distractions played a decisive role in countering Richards' aggressive style. The partnership elevated the House of Truth's profile, with Martini recruiting in 2011 as a dominant ; Elgin's complemented the stable's strategy, leading to impactful feuds and joint appearances that solidified their faction status. Tensions within the House of Truth escalated in late 2012, as both Elgin and Strong departed the group amid internal conflicts, with Elgin walking out after a heated confrontation with Martini during events like Death Before Dishonor X on September 15, 2012, and Caged Hostility on September 8, 2012. The stable rebounded through expansions, notably with Martini managing Jay Lethal starting in 2014; Lethal captured the ROH World Television Championship from Tomohiro Ishii at Supercard of Honor VIII on April 4, 2014, initiating a prolonged reign marked by defenses against challengers like Roderick Strong on January 30, 2015, and Mark Briscoe throughout 2015. During this era, the House of Truth, bolstered by members like Taeler Hendrix, engaged in notable rivalries, including against The Kingdom, where Martini's interference tactics were key in Lethal's victories over Kingdom affiliates such as Matt Taven and Michael Bennett. Martini's tenure in ROH ended in 2016 following a storyline injury angle designed to write him off television. On February 27, , during ROH TV tapings, Donovan Dijak attacked Martini, targeting his neck in a segment that mirrored his real-life condition; Martini underwent neck surgery the following week and did not return, leading to his official departure from in September 2016. This injury effectively disbanded the active House of Truth iteration in ROH, concluding a six-year run that transformed Martini from a peripheral figure into one of 's most influential managers.

International and final appearances (2016–2018)

In early 2016, Truth Martini expanded his managerial role internationally by accompanying (ROH) World Champion to (NJPW) events. On January 4, he debuted at in , where Lethal defended the ROH title against ; Martini interfered by striking Elgin with his signature Book of Truth to secure the victory. This appearance highlighted Martini's influence in cross-promotional bookings, leveraging his ROH legacy to support American talent in . Martini continued managing Lethal at the Honor Rising: Japan co-promoted shows on February 19 and 20. On the first night, he joined Lethal and Los Ingobernables de Japón's in a win over ' Kazuchika and . The following evening, Lethal retained the ROH title against , with Martini at ringside providing strategic guidance. These select outings marked Martini's only notable international work, tied to ROH-NJPW collaborations. Following the NJPW tour, Martini stepped away from ROH due to health concerns. In March 2016, he underwent neck surgery, prompting an on-screen to write him off television; this followed months of reduced activity. By , he had been released from the promotion, with no immediate plans for return as Lethal transitioned to a face role without managerial support. Martini's post-ROH period from 2017 to 2018 saw limited involvement on the independent circuit, focused on recovery rather than regular in-ring or managerial duties. On September 30, 2018, he announced his in-ring during an on Colt Cabana's The Art of Wrestling podcast, attributing the decision to his age (43) and ongoing recovery from neck surgery. Martini reflected that "you kinda can't argue with time," signaling the conclusion of his active wrestling phase while affirming his continued passion for the industry through training. This farewell effectively ended his era of on-screen interferences and storylines, shifting his focus away from competition.

Managerial career

House of Truth formation

The House of Truth stable was formed in late 2009 within (ROH), with Truth Martini establishing himself as its charismatic leader and self-proclaimed "Life Intervention Expert." Drawing inspiration from cult-like intervention themes, the group positioned itself as a supportive "family" for wrestlers in need of guidance, parodying religious and motifs through Martini's promos, where he wielded a prop known as the "Book of Truth" to deliver motivational yet manipulative sermons. This concept debuted on June 26, 2009, at ROH's Violent Tendencies event, where Martini accompanied Josh Raymond and Christian Able—billed collectively as the House of Truth—in a losing effort against Kevin Steen and El Generico, marking the stable's aggressive introduction to the promotion. The early recruitment process began modestly with and Able as foundational members, but expanded significantly in 2010 when targeted high-profile talent seeking redemption or focus. On May 22, 2010, during ROH TV tapings, officially joined the House of Truth after a series of frustrating losses, with intervening as his new advisor to "intervene" in Strong's career trajectory and restore his championship path. This alliance quickly elevated the stable's profile, as 's interferences—often disguised as helpful guidance—became a hallmark of their tactics, such as distracting opponents or providing underhanded advantages during matches. By 2011, the group further grew with the addition of , whom Martini formally introduced to ROH audiences on HDNet as the newest , emphasizing Elgin's raw power as a perfect fit for the House's interventionist ethos. Initial storylines revolved around these "interventions," portraying Martini's charges as misguided souls reformed through his cultish oversight, culminating in the stable's prominent showcase at events like Glory by Honor IX in September 2010, where the House supported Strong's successful challenge against Tyler Black amid Martini's signature meddling. This period solidified the House of Truth as a disruptive force in ROH, blending parody with effective dynamics.

Key managed wrestlers and storylines

Martini managed starting in April 2011, aligning the ROH World Television Champion with the House of Truth after Daniels embraced the "Book of Truth." This partnership aided Daniels in several title defenses until he vacated the championship in December 2011 due to injury. One of the most prominent talents under Truth Martini's management was , whom he began guiding in 2014 as part of a heel turn that revitalized Lethal's career in (ROH). During this period from 2014 to 2016, Martini accompanied Lethal to numerous successful defenses of the , which Lethal held from April 2014 until losing it in March 2015, often using interference tactics to secure victories. Lethal incorporated a Randy Savage-inspired persona, dubbing himself the "Macho Man" in promos and matches, including a notable homage bout against at the 2013 "A Night of " event presented by Martini. Martini also managed Matt Taven during his tenure as ROH World Television Champion in 2013, supporting him in high-profile defenses such as a three-way match against Matt Hardy and Adam Cole at Supercard of Honor VII. Taven's time in the House of Truth contributed to multi-man feuds involving the stable against groups like reDRagon (Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish), who defended their ROH World Tag Team Championships against House members, including a 2015 victory over Donovan Dijak and J. Diesel, accompanied by Lethal. These rivalries extended to broader conflicts with the Bullet Club and, later, The Kingdom—a faction that included Taven after his departure from the House of Truth—featuring chaotic six-man tags and street fights that highlighted the stable's disruptive influence. From 2014 to 2015, the House of Truth positioned itself as a dominant force in the ROH World Title picture, with Martini's ringside interferences frequently resulting in disqualifications for his charges and subsequent ejections by officials, amplifying the stable's heat. The group's peak influence with Elgin and Strong occurred between 2010 and 2012, marked by title pursuits from pairings like and , who challenged top teams and elevated the stable's status through intense, athletic contests. Internal tensions culminated in Elgin's late 2012 departure, as he turned face and broke away from Martini's control following months of teased dissension, along with Strong, shifting the stable's dynamics and leading to its evolution with new recruits.

Post-retirement activities

Retirement announcement

Truth Martini announced his retirement from in-ring wrestling on September 30, 2018, during an appearance on Colt Cabana's The Art of Wrestling . This decision followed a surgery in March 2016 that required him to be written off television and resulted in a prolonged hiatus from the promotion, ultimately leading to his release in September 2016 and restricting his physical involvement in even managerial capacities. At age 43 and after two decades in the industry since his 1998 debut, Martini reflected on his evolution from wrestler to prominent manager, expressing no regrets about concluding this phase of his career while affirming his enduring passion for .

Things run its course," likening the end of his performing days to outgrowing a childhood , and emphasized transitioning to life and training endeavors.

Throughout the , the school expanded its offerings to accommodate beginners, intermediates, and advanced students, maintaining weekly classes and fostering connections with local promotions to provide real-world exposure for trainees. In April 2025, former Detroit Red Wings enforcer and four-time champion Darren acquired the facility, rebranding it as the Grind Time Wrestling Academy while integrating it with his Grind Time Pro Wrestling ; Martini continues in a retained leadership role as head trainer to ensure continuity in instruction.
