10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Matt Bloom

7. Prince Albert

There have been some pretty terrible names bestowed upon wrestlers as they're making their way in the business. Ofttimes it's because the hacks cannot come up with anything better but, most of the times, it's a rib. Hugh G. Rection (Bill DeMott), G.I. Bro (Booker T) and Terra Ryzing (Triple H) all spring to mind. Matt Bloom was given the lovely moniker of 'Prince Albert' when he debuted as the ill-fated Droz's personal tattooist and piercer. What's so bad about that, you ask? Well, do you know what a Prince Albert is? it's a genital piercing. A penis piercing, to be more precise. Whilst it is unknown whether or not Bloom has one of these excrucating-looking piercings is unknown (at one point he had over 20 body piercings, so who knows?). What is known is that, with a name like that, he was never going to get very far in the WWF. Indeed, he did not. It wasn't until he dropped the 'Prince' part and, really, changed to the much different A-Train that Bloom saw any sort of real success in the company.
