So here is today's scoop:
WWE has signed Matt Bloom, 39, to a contract to return to the organization as a performer. He previously worked for WWE from 1999 to 2004 as Albert and A-Train, which included a brief reign as Intercontinental Champion.
Bloom has achieved great success in Japan since parting ways with WWE, having won the IWGP Tag Team Championship with Karl Anderson on two occasions (they hold the record for the longest reign and the most defenses). They were also Tag Team Champions in Pro Wrestling NOAH.
He is scheduled to return as a henchman in April for Raw Interim General Manager and WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.

Hmmm interesting. I never was much of an A-Train fan, but it is nice to see WWE bringing back some guys from before. I would much rather see them hire Matt Morgan back. He`s being misused in TNA. I think he`s a breakout star just waiting to break out.

I hear Albert is a great "big man" wrestler now in Japan. WWE will probably water him down, but it be interesting to see what they do with him
And does this mean that Team John Laurinaitis wins at Wrestlemania?

Albert was a very marketable character... With Droz as his mouthpiece, as well as with Trish and Test. He did okay with Big Show, but that was all about putting the Big Show over anyways. So in all actuality, he did his job, and did it well. I doubt he'll be getting a major push. Probably bringing him back in to compete for a year or two, and then head to FCW to help the young guys.

Yeah, might as well be official. He's "Denying" the reports calling them Rumors while a handful of paid talent as well as Officials in WWE have known about it for a few weeks now. He holds the record for most title defense and longest reign as IWGP Tag Champions with Karl Anderson. They've also help the NOAH Tag Titles. He's been a beast over there as Giant Bernard. It doesn't say anything about Johnny Ace winning at Mania, just says Albert is going to be put with Ace. Maybe he becomes a Manager? I'd love to see Managers make a return and Johnny Ace would be great. Says there was talk of placing him with Cena because Cena has NOTHING after Mania which would also indicate that Chaz is wrong about The Miz..
Rajah.com has never given me something as News and it not happen. They say rumor when it's a rumor and I've always gone there for my news. Other sites lie and push rumors as news.
