A-Train

(or George Steele's long forgotten son makes it big time)

Federation: WWE

Real Name: Matt Bloom

Other Gimmicks: Prince Albert, Albert

If Bradshaw can have a gimmick based solely on the fact that he's from Texas and Rob Conway can have a gimmick based on the fact that he likes France then A-Train can have one based on body hair. You see A-Train has been blessed by genetics to have a disgustingly hairy body that puts George Steele to shame. For years in the WWF/WWE Albert thankfully wore a singlet or shirt to cover up most or all of the offensive hair. Then during 2003 he started wear black trunks and no shirt. The fans began chanting, "Shave you back!" during his matches and unfortunately he never listened. Because Albert wasn't a menacing or stupid name he became: A-Train. If he say, carried midgets from on spot in the arena to another then the name would fit. Now that I think about it that would be a killer gimmick. Imagine A-Train with about three little people strapped to his back running around backstage plowing thru everything and one in his way. During a match the midgets could hit his opponent when they came close or come off and attack the hapless sap from all sides. Yeah……getting back to things. Ok, I know that he's big and powerful like a train hence the name. But that still doesn't make it any less dumb. I just feel sorry for anyone wrestling the big guy. I don't even want to imagine what it would feel like to touch his sweaty, hairy hide.
