50 Ruthless Aggression Era Superstars Ranked From Worst To Best

Pros:

1. Enormous wrestler

2. Devastating offense

3. Looked like he could rip you in half

Cons:

1. Kept getting his gimmick changed

2. Paul Heyman couldn't conceal his weaknesses when they were both on SmackDown

3. Way too hairy

For some reason, WWE could never come to a full decision on what Matt Bloom’s gimmick would be. When he first debuted, the mammoth former football player was part of team T&A, alongside Test and managed by Trish Stratus.

Being given the very basic name ‘Albert’ didn’t satisfy Vince McMahon, apparently, but whether they knew his new name was also that of a penile piercing or not remains a mystery. But not even a name as hilariously bad as Prince Albert could get him off the ground, and despite his sheer enormity and air of intimidation, Albert didn’t accomplish much of anything.

Not long afterwards, he’d be re-christened as A-Train and he was given a bigger push, which culminated in a WrestleMania match with the Undertaker. Alas, that match has been widely panned as one of 'Taker's worst, and did nothing to elevate A-Train to a higher level. And by 2004, he was released, and went on to have a more successful wrestling career in Japan.

Clearly WWE had something with this guy, but no matter what they tried, it wouldn't catch on with the audience.

Final Rating: **
