WWE is often referred to as ‘The Land of the Giants,’ and this was one of the reasons Matt ‘Albert’ Bloom never really stood out. During his early run with the company, he was just another big man.

However, by the time he left the company in 2005 and headed to Japan, with a new ring name and new attitude, he could finally use his physical stature as a way to get over with a new audience.
