Yup.
Any other Test fans? I think he was really athletic for a bigger dude and had a pretty versatile moveset. Not to mention his big boot and elbow drop were both sick. I always liked him and never see anyone talk about him. He looked like he could go on to become a star in 2002/2003 and got a decent push in ECW but he was too jacked up on steroids at that point and it effected his ring work.

I liked him, particularly in the admittedly Nash-lite leather pants days. Dude went through a ton of finishers, so he tended to have great movesets for the games, and his running Big Boot is still one of my favorite finishers of an undercard guy.
T&A was a bit underrated. They were a good tag team for rounding out the division, even if obviously the Dudleyz, Hardyz, and E&C were the crown jewels, and APA were a bigger deal than them, too.

He wasn't great n the mic, and by no means a ring wizard, but he could/should have been a decent uper midcard guy. His big boot was a thing of vicious beauty |

He seemed more menacing with the long pant trunks. Like a proper big guy, but more agile. When he went to the regular tights he seemed........just tall and lanky. I remember nothing about him after he was paired with Stacy on TV. Including this, apparently...  |

He was alright, not really good but not terrible. The big boot looked like it could decapitate someone though.

I remember thinking that Test was going to be the next big star after Austin.

Awesome boot, awesome elbow drop, great Attitude Era Theme...
Wish he would have stopped with the roids.

Steroids destroyed him. But Test the performer, he was one of the best big men I've ever seen. Agility-wise, he was even more fierce than The Undertaker. But while he was a great product of The Attitude Era, it was being in that era among men that physically look similar to him (Val Venis, Steve Blackman, Lance Storm, Ken Shamrock, etc) that made him stand out less. Let's say Test debuted today; he'd get the Roman Reigns push.

great Attitude Era Theme... Ah, yes, a theme with such poignant, classic lyrics. Brings a tear to my eye each time I sing along to them now. How did it go again..? Oh, that's right, "Test. Test. This is a Test... Meh-neh-buh, meh-neh-buh, meh-neh-bub-buh! Meh-neh-buh, beh-deh-buh, beh-deh-buh-muh! Meh-meh, beh-hoodle-deh, hoodle-hup-pup! Meh-meh-buh, deh-duh-bub ba-hoodle-bep-pup!" Beautiful. |

He was good but far from anything special. I do think the crowd would have liked him as champion in 1999 instead of Big Show.

Poor man's Kevin Nash, or a rich man's Lance Hoyt.
He was my arch-nemesis in royal rumbles in No Mercy.
It is a shame that his life ended the way it did, I could see him showing up in NXT today like Rhyno has.

Best part of his big boot, was that staring off into the crowd like he'd knocked his opponent's head off, and did the field goal thing...

We were so close to having the McMahon Martin Era. Then Hunter ruined it all.
