How Trish Stratus survived this I will never, ever know.] ] hadTrish Stratus as their team manager with their name being a pun on the initials of the two wrestlers and the slang expression T&A (referring to Tits and Ass), spawning numerous coarse jokes on fan's signs and from commentatorJerry Lawler in reference to the buxom Trish Stratus.History
Test and Albert met in
Dory Funk, Jr. 's training center, the Funkin' Conservatory, where they were trained. Following this, both men took on individual careers in the business leading them to the WWF, where they were repackaged as a tag team during2000 . On theMarch 19 ,2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat Stratus made her debut with the gimmick of scouting wrestlers to form a team. Shortly after this Test and Albert (who both wrestled on that show) became her wards.The team feuded with other established tag teams including
Too Cool , and theHardy Boyz . A match against theDudley Boyz at the Backlash 2000 pay-per-view Stratus was actually the recipient of apowerbomb through a table from Bubba Ray Dudley. The incident was deemed excessively violent byChannel 4 , providers of the event in theUnited Kingdom and edited from their showing of the event.During a feud with the
Acolytes Protection Agency (APA), the two men parodied the team under the name T & APA (Test & Albert Protection Agency). Though the men became an established tag team in the promotion, they never won the World Tag Team Championship.In December 2000, Albert turned on Test, causing (
kayfabe ) internal injuries which resulted in bleeding from Test's mouth. Trish continued to manage Albert for a while, but eventually began a storyline involvingVince McMahon . Albert went on to join X-Pac and Justin Credible in their own stable, X-Factor. Test went on to feud withEddie Guerrero over the European title before eventually joining The Alliance.In wrestling
