10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Matt Bloom

He may be better than Bill DeMott, but this late Bloomer's career hasn't always been smooth sailing.

By Lewis Howse /

Bill DeMott has stepped down as head trainer of the WWE performance centre amid allegations of misconduct, neglect and abuse from several former developmental talents. Former WWE superstar and current NXT commentator Matt Bloom has taken temporary charge in DeMott's absence. It is unknown whether WWE will hire somebody else for the position or if Bloom will be able to convince officials that he is the right man for the job. Bloom intimated in a tweet dated March 8th that he planned on 'busting through' the doors that DeMott's dismissal have opened for him. Bloom, alias Baldo/Prince Albert/A-Train/Giant Bernard/Lord Tensai/Sweet T/Jason Albert, certainly has the credentials and was a more featured player in WWE than DeMott ever was during his entire career. Bloom, who has been working in the performance centre since retiring from active competition in August, is reportedly well-liked by wrestlers and staff. No, there are no (known) hazing or bullying stories involving Bloom. By all accounts he is something of a gentle giant and actually helps train those in the performance centre instead of subjecting them to verbal and physical abuse. In fact, not much is known about Bloom outside of the ring and he appears to be a very private person. But that's not to say he hasn't had a chequered career in the squared circle. He may be relatively scandal-free, but there are still some things that WWE would probably want you to forget about Matt Bloom.
