When did Albert become A-Train?
 

And dear god why? Was he not shitty enough without the ridiculous name?

Nice that they gave him the most horrible ring attire possible for a guy with his physique and body hair as well...

But I have no idea, it was sometime during a period when I barely cared about WWE.

It was during the time when the WWE fired all their writers and just brought monkey's in. They shortly afterward realized it would be cheaper to pay the writers then to clean up after the monkey's.

If I could be serious for a moment... :shifty:

It was in late 2002, I think between Survivor Series and Armageddon. Heyman gave him the name (onscreen anyways) when he was trying to rejuvinate him or something.

BTW you really think it's more ridiculous than a name which came from "Prince Albert" which was initially a reference to a genital piercing?

Funny thing was, the same night that he was dubbed A-Train, he came out later that night with new music and video.

And custom pyro.

I swear there was something else they called him, between Albert and A-Train. Even if it was just for like a week or something. Can't think what though.

The Hip-Hop Hippo? When with Scotty 2 Hotty maybe? It was more of a nickname though

Yeah Hip Hop Hippo. That was during the Heat on Channel 4 years

Yeah. I noticed that too. So much for practicality. Convenient that they had new music, pyro, and Titantron half an hour after he got his new nickname. ;)

Those WWE production guys can work miracles, dude. :y:

<font color=22aacc><b>I think it was when Paul Heyman had a bunch of clients, just after when Angle beat Big Show for the title, and Paul Heyman was giving him a pep talk and then called him the A-Train, and A-Train was all like,"I'm the A-Train, eh?" and Paul Heyman was like,"uh... yeah?" and A-Train was like,"The A-Train, I like it," and then he became the A-Train.

Or something like that.</font></b>

It's dedication to the job.
