Giant Bernard and Voodoo Murders (All Japan Pro Wrestling 2005 - 2006)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtippZIpUHA There's no secret that the Japanese fans like giant American wrestlers. That's why guy's like Bruiser Brody, Hulk Hogan, Big Van Vader and Terry Gordy were all so successful and popular. In Japan Bloom found a whole new lease on life and turned a lacklustre WWE career around. Debuting for AJPW in 2005 as a member of The Voodoo Murders stable Bloom became Giant Bernard in honour of the one time great Jim 'Brute' Bernard who had wrestled in Vince McMahon Senior's WWWF many moons earlier. Despite wrestling in matches against Triple Crown Champion Satoshi Kojima he was only a member of the AJPW roster for a year before making the much more lucrative jump to rival company New Japan Pro Wrestling in January 2006.
