207. A-Train
The last WWE run of Matt Bloom as “Tensai” may not have gone down in the annals of professional wrestling as a success, but prior to that, he was tearing it up in New Japan as Giant Bernard, and did have occasional mid card success as Albert and later A-Train in the WWE. What might seriously help Bloom’s chances is his current NXT commentator run and position as the lead trainer in the developmental promotion. If that is a success, than this could be possible one day.
