10 Wrestlers Who Secretly Changed WWE History
4. Albert
Whether you want to call him Albert, Prince Albert, A-Train, Lord Tensai, or anything else, Matt Bloom's in-ring WWE career was mediocre at best.
His one claim to fame is that his tag team with Test introduced the world to Trish Stratus. He did have a month-long Intercontinental championship reign in 2001, but let's just say there's a reason he's never appeared in any video packages celebrating the title's legacy.
Bloom would have to wait until after he'd hung up his boots to really make an impact on WWE. In 2014, after a brief stint on commentary, he landed a position as a trainer at the Performance Center. Over time, he quickly gained a reputation for being incredibly good at his job and was promoted to head trainer following the Bill DeMott scandal.
Behind all the success that NXT had during this era, Bloom was there. He helped sculpt the talent that would take the developmental brand to the very top. Even the stars who were already big names needed Bloom's help to adapt to the in-house style. He was the beating heart of one of wrestling's greatest ever periods.
