Guest converge241 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 not excatly hard hitting relevant commentary or breaking news, but Why A-Train? maybe im just too used to the connotation in football when people speak about Alstott or Anthony Thomas how about A-Bomb? *waits for someone to suggest A-Hole* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Harry Hood Report post Posted December 13, 2002 wouldn't a-bomb bring back to many memories of adam bomb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Fired would be a good name for Albert, but i digress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 lol didnt take long for the jokes to start flying " wouldn't a-bomb bring back to many memories of adam bomb? " i thought of that but they dont mind recycling stories and mistakes so why not a recycled name variation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted December 13, 2002 "A Bomb" wouldn't work because that would describe how Albert has done since coming to the WWE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Someone has gotten RAW Crack, because who in the hell would book Albert, or A-Train, into the main event? C'mon, this is crazy. Just a few weeks ago, he was Velocity, and now this? I would have rather seen Mattitude have the feud..... I have a feeling the A-Train is gonna derail.........

Guest converge241 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 "I would have rather seen Mattitude have the feud....." dude you speak for almost everyone why not a happy compromise just put A (another former name for him) with Matt as his second.. that way Matt can be "allowed" to have some wins per Vince due to outside interference and Prince Albert can still go fight taker into oblivion. Maybe they can have him be the "Hip Hop Hippo" again and go join up with Cena's posse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Army Eye Report post Posted December 13, 2002 The only crowd reaction he gets is 'shave your back'. The wonderful upshot of this is a) it's a lock he'll never shave it now (first and only crowd response he's ever had).. AND he'll never put on a shirt. Who wants to watch a big hairy unshaven baboon who is sloppily fat? b) his push will probably continue since he's getting a chant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 I don't get why his real name wouldn't work. A-Train is just a shitty name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Vince will give Albert hoes in order to make it look like Albert is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DragonflyKid Report post Posted December 13, 2002 I have admitted to seeing potential in Albert and comparing him to Vader but the name A-Train doesn't work for me{A train goes choo-choo!). I think the change of tights was also a good idea although I would have preferred a singlet. He should have shaved his back though, he was doing a good job of beating Angle and Edge up but the fans were fixated on his back hair thus didn't take him seriously.

Guest notJames Report post Posted December 13, 2002 *waits for someone to suggest A-Hole* That's the first thing that came to mind when I heard about the name change last night. I don't know if he's more A-nnoying than A-trocious, though. They'll probably team him up with Al Snow so they can call themselves the A-Team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 I hope they come to their senses and de-push A-Train sooner than later. The main event scene on Smackdown doesn't need A-Train and Big Show, they need Mysterio, Edge, Hardy, and Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted December 13, 2002 why not George Steel Jr, its about time for him to start stalking a Torrie and eat turnbuckles. LOL. He might actually get a reaction from the crowd if that happened. He can use it as an opportunity to thank JR, by insisting on adding the BBQ sauce FIRST before munching on the turnbuckle.

Guest converge241 Report post Posted December 13, 2002 hey i just realized how to end Albert's push someone tell HHH he has had almost as many nicknames as him maybe trips feels the same way about long hair that he does about multiple names stricly for The HHHHaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Ah...I like Albert, and I think the name change is ok...I'd probably like it more if it wasn't so sudden and they'd given us more time to get used to it (like they did with the Rock in 98), but it's ok. I agree that it would've been better to have Matt in his role right now, considering his relationship with Paul Heyman, his history with Edge and the fact that HE'S ACTUALLY OVER, but what are you gonna do?

Guest netslob Report post Posted December 13, 2002 see, i think the name change has been long overdue. A-Train sounds alot better then Albert. now all they need to do is change the name of his finisher from "Baldo Bomb" to the "D-Railer". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted December 13, 2002 If Albert doesn't use his real name...why did they have to make Batista use Daaaaaave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest buffybeast Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Who wants to watch a big hairy unshaven baboon who is sloppily fat? I do. I think Albert is sexy. I hate his new name, however. Did anyone hear his entrance music? With a train horn? ugh, this is just dumb. But it is better than 'Albert'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted December 13, 2002 C'mon, "Dangerous A" would have been much better. Then Albert could have his front teeth knocked out and start doing ganmengiris. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted December 13, 2002 Does anyone else find it hilarious that Heyman gave him the name in the begining of the show and by the end, the production guys have supposedly stuck his new name into the Armageddon promo AND created a new entrance video for him along with music? Those production guys deserve a raise. As for the actual topic, they can call him whatever they want, the fans still won't give a crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
