WWE: The Many Faces Of Matt Bloom AKA Tensai

The Hip Hop Hippo (World Wrestling Federation, 2001 - 2002)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUfLm-_pnWA With no choice but to take on the role of a Babyface Bloom's Albert persona was again paired up with a mid carder (at best) in the form of Scotty Too Hotty formerly of Too Cool fame. As you can see from the video above there was zero change to the Albert character other than the addition of a (forced?) smile and a few awkward looking dance moves. Bizarrely though the WWE Universe actually liked the pairing and they were given the opportunity to wrestle for the Tag Team Titles against Billy and Chuck. When the pair failed to defeat the champions The Hip Hop Hippo attacked Scotty and returned to the Heel camp. It is this Hip Hop Hippo persona though that has since returned to WWE programming and has proved perhaps more successful than any other of Bloom's many character tweaks.
