When Trish Stratus debuted in early 2000, it was only a matter of time before she unleashed her T&A on World Wrestling Entertainment. Of course, said T&A would be of the Test and Albert variety and not...you get the picture. Anyway, Test and Albert made an immediate splash, knocking off Al Snow and Steve Blackman at WrestleMania and immediately entering a rivalry with the Dudley Boyz. It was in that rivalry, and the subsequent ones with the Hardy Boys and APA, that established the duo as one of the top heel teams in all of wrestling. Two big, powerful-yet-agile stars in their youth, Test and Albert developed into a very good team, thanks to working the likes of the aforementioned Dudleys and Hardys on a regular basis. Their size allowed them to work with teams of varying styles and sizes and led to some very hard-hitting, high-impact bouts. Unfortunately, WWEs desire to split Test off on his own, resuming his singles push as a babyface resulted in the split of the team before they could really hit their stride and achieving success as champions. Albert went on to team with X-Pac and Justin Credible in X-Factor while Test first achieved success as the European champion, then turned heel and joined the Alliance during the doomed Invasion storyline.
