5 WWE Superstars who you forgot were once Paul Heyman guys 

#2 A-Train

Albert, Test, and Trish Stratus

Present-day WWE fans would know Matt Bloom as the man tasked with the job of training WWE prospects in the Performance Center, but old-timers would remember him as an underrated 6-foot-7-inch giant from the 2000s. He was one of the top stars in Japan, who raised his game by wrestling for promotions such as All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW), New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Pro Wrestling Noah.

He has enjoyed two in-ring stints in the WWE. The first happened between 1999 - 2004, during which he worked under different monikers such as Prince Albert, Albert, and A-Train. He built up a respectable resume in Japan as Giant Bernard before returning to WWE in 2012 for a botch-filled run as Lord Tensai that lasted until his retirement in 2014.

During his first run with the company, Bloom changed his name to A-Train and allied with Big Show, under the guidance of Paul Heyman. The transformation from Albert to A-train was Heyman's brainchild, which kickstarted a relatively decent run for the superstar. The massive frame, hairy chest and the intimidation factor made A-Train a perfect fit for Paul Heyman.

A-Train would go on to team up with Big Show for a match against The Deadman at WrestleMania XIX. He even had a one-on-one match against The Undertaker at the following SummerSlam in 2003.

He got pushed down the card before leaving the company in 2004. However, it happened in his best interest as the WWE release gave birth to Giant Bernard, who is considered to be one of the best American imports in Japanese wrestling circles till this very day.

Heyman has often been known to take in tall and muscular superstars as clients and Albert fit the bill. It is, however, unfortunate that they failed to make the most of the alliance.
