message: his bio says he now has tiger stripe tattoos but the picture seems to be from his WWE days - any chance of an up to date one? 86.29.93.118 16:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Newer picture? 

message: He'll be coming to TNA. I read some news about the Women's Division and Andrew "Test" Martin and A-Train coming to TNA. Test just showed up, and seeing as TNA recognizes IWGP champions, there's a high chance A-Train will be showing up to TNA soon, to obviously side with Tomko. 69.156.176.223 06:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: So if he was born in 1974 and got a degree in sign language in 1990 it means he graduated college at the age 16?(Lakers244805 13:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Age

message: According to his first WWF paragraph, he saved Droz and formed a trio called the Pierced Pals. There's no indication of who the third member of the group is, and I can't recollect them being a threesome. Anyone with the WWE Encyclopedia shed some light?

===Return to WWE (2012-present)===
On March 17 2012 it was announced that Bloom had been resigned to WWE,8 years since his WWE release in 2004. he is to re-debut in a role as an henchman for the current interm WWE Raw general manager John Laurinaitis.
Why? Because this came from an internet "dirt sheet". It isn't fact and it wasn't an announcement made by the WWE. It is a rumor, and the source of the rumor wasn't even properly cited (nor would it have been a credible source if it were). Wikipedia is not a gossip hub. It is an archive of historical data (the -pedia stands for encyclopedia...). Please don't damage the integrity of pages by inserting random internet rumor -- wait until official, credible information is available. 24.13.43.231 (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick view of the page history reveals that this is something that's been back and forth the past couple of days. That's unfortunate. 24.13.43.231 (talk) 11:42, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, the recently aired video for the WWE character "Lord Tensai" did not confirm that Bloom is working for the WWE. A collection of circumstantial evidence (such as matching tattoos) isn't enough to declare that someone is or is not working for the company (as the company often brings in outside talent without necessarily signing contracts). Until it is announced by the WWE either on one of their television shows or via their corporate website, we cannot make assumptions and present them as fact, regardless of how strong the circumstantial evidence may be. Please refrain from expressing rumor as fact; this is a rumor until it is officially acknowledged. 24.13.43.231 (talk) 12:06, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Can somebody please edit the link (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/2012-04-02/who-is-lord-tensai) into the article? There you can read that the WWE says that Lord Tensi was formely in the company as A-Train and not ignored it. I would do it but my english isn't the best. Thanks. --H96lg93114 (talk) 12:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: His Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about it ignoring his past. It says that during his debut, he WAS acknowledged as a former member of the roster but that they didn't state who he was. There's no need to go into so much detail concerning what their website said. Per WP:NOT, "Wikipedia is not..... a complete exposition of all possible details. Rather, an article is a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject." NJZombie (talk) 14:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

message: No idea if this is significant enough for someone to want to write up, but Undertaker seemingly loved the move and had Albert stop doing it so he could use it as his new finisher.  Or at least Albert never did it again once the Undertaker started doing it. 2601:193:8300:1380:D1B9:CB7C:E517:4D30 (talk) 15:03, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
