* BizarroEpisode: Invoked, as it was the whole idea behind ''A Night of Hoopla'', which he booked.
* BlankBook: The ''Book of Truth'' is a hardcover book with Martini's face on the cover and complete nonsense inside.
* ContinuityNod: He dislike of Wrestling/{{MsChif}} is largely unrelated to whatever issues he has with Elgin, even after they were married. To learn the full story you'd have to watch All American Wrestling, which also has it's own House Of Truth.
* DeclarativeFinger: He tries to put on a friendly face though
* DrugsAreBad: He states all of ACH's failures are due to drug abuse. The ''truth'' in such statements was argued against by the accused.

* JailBaitWait: He's very protective of children, knowing that as long as enough grow up well adjusted and healthy he will always be able find a 'partner'.
* KavorkaMan: He's not big nor always well shaven and doesn't appear to clean his hair, but that doesn't stop him from attracting female followers.
* NiceHat: His hair tends to poke out of it.
* PaintItBlack: The second time he started up the House Of Truth in ROH was much less goofy than the first, visually signified by the vibrant multi colors being swapped out for lots and lots of black on Martini's part.
* PowerStable: The House of Truth.
* PerkyFemaleMinion: His Hoopla Hotties tend to be. The House Of Truth has a "national anthem" which is basically an oath to be one. In 2015, he partnered with Taeler Hendrix.
* PutOnABus: After a neck injury from Donovan Dijak. The House Of Truth struggled to continue on without him but ended up coming down and he did not return to ROH after recovering.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: He has a reputation for paying wrestlers to not participate in matches so House Of Truth representatives can wrestle in their place.
* SmallNameBigEgo: In {{Kayfabe}} he's a self-help guru writer that no one's ever heard of; this doesn't stop him from trying to join everyone to the House of Truth.
* StartMyOwn: [[http://www.hotwrestling.com The House of Truth Wrestling School]].
* SunglassesAtNight: Red lenses, less the show end before nightfall. Sometimes his shades look more like goggles with a strange tint.
* TalkShowWithFists: Hoopla Uncut.
* VillainBall: After Roderick Strong's match at ''ROH Homecoming'' 2012 against Eddie Edwards was canceled, Adam Cole volunteered to replace Edwards, even accepting a [[NoHoldsBarredContest No-Holds Barred]] stipulation. Martini could interfere in Strong's favor as much as he wanted...and announced ahead of time that he would so Cole super kicked him right off the bat.
* VocalEvolution: To go with paint it black, his voice has become much deeper and raspier as the years went by, especially the second time he lead the House Of Truth in ROH.
* YouCantHandleTheParody: The House of Truth's entrance theme started by quoting the Trope Namer.
