3. Albert/Giant Bernard
Yes, that is, in fact, (Prince) Albert/A-Train/The Hip-Hop Hippo/(Lord) Tensai. Matt Blooms WWF/E career has been one long, non-stop game of gimmick-juggling. Despite the fact that Vince McMahon likes big guys, the only major highlights he had were one reign as Intercontinental Championship, an interesting partnership with Test (as T&A, managed by Trish Stratus) and having the distinction of losing to the Undertaker in his only non-singles match at WrestleMania XIX, in a handicap match alongside the Big Show. Considering that his first ring name was that of a penile piercing, it was hard for people to get behind him. Leaving the WWE in 2004 brought him some much needed change. His size and intimidating appearance were put to good use, and he became known as Giant Bernard, and went off to Japan. There, he had much more success, teaming with Karl Anderson (as Bad Intentions, before Drew Hankinson arrived), and had a lot more success when compared to his WWE run. He won the IWGP Tag Team Championships twice, Pro Wrestling Noahs GHC Tag Team Championships once, and the World Tag League twice. He even won Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Tag Team of the Year in 2011. These accomplishments proved that, if given the right opportunity, Bloom could actually perform well inside a ring. He truly belonged in a Japanese ring, where strength and workrate were considered more important than charisma and gimmick. And yet, he decided to return to the WWE in 2012, despite his successful tag team with Karl Anderson. He debuted as Lord Tensai, and at the time, the WWE wanted to make a big deal of him. Unfortunately, the differences between Japanese and American wrestling fans proved to be his downfall. What entertained the Japanese bored the Americans, who seemed to enjoy chanting Albert more than seeing him Chokebomb his opponents. Not even a clean win over John Cena could help him, and he was soon relegated to jobbing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVc2p3mMGlo As if that wasnt enough, he soon became involved in embarrassing situations, including having to wear womens lingerie, before becoming Dancing big guy Brodus Clays partner in Tons of Funk, during which time he was sometimes called Sweet T Tensai. That team would last through most of 2013, and Bloom would then go on to become a commentator for NXT, and then announce his retirement from in-ring competition in August 2014. I hate to say it, but Giant Bernard shouldve stayed in Japan, where he excelled at demolishing people.
