10 WWE Managers Who Totally Outshone Their Wrestlers

It was likely just a coincidence that was exploited for a naughty pun, but when a pair of wrestlers are more commonly known as T&A, as a wink-wink reference to their manager, the foundation for a wrestling legacy isn't looking too good.

While other managers take time to eclipse their wrestlers, it felt like Test and Albert were a side attraction, providing the physical action for Trish Stratus while she became familiar with the wild world of pro wrestling. Even before her legendary singles run, Trish was a star. To her credit, she earned her place and never shied away from even the most controversial, gross, and humiliating storylines conceived during the tail-end of the Attitude Era.

Stratus is a seven-time Woman's Champion and a Hall of Famer (Class of 2013), yet most telling is how beloved Trish is to fans, colleagues, and the women who have come after her. She is one of the best ever to enter a WWE ring. Her charges didn’t quite live up.

Matt Bloom (Albert) is a former Intercontinental Champion, had success in Japan, and is training the next generation of stars. Regarding Test, though he was largely damaged from his Stephanie McMahon relationship storyline, it is hard to quantify a career cut tragically short. Nonetheless, he captured all WWE's midcard championships.
