Wrestling Bios Presents - The Life and Career of "Test" Andrew Martin
Andrew Martin, better known as his ring name Test, made his WWE debut towards the end of 1998. Coming into the World Wrestling Federation in 1998 as a newcomer was no easy task, the Attitude Era had began picking up a ton of steam and new guys had to prove themselves both in the ring and in the locker room. Test was able to stick around in the WWF during the attitude era, leading to a career that had many ups and downs.
When Motley Crue showed up in the WWF to play some music to wrestling fans, their huge bodyguard was by their side. The bodyguard would also test the band's microphones, hence the name "Test" which Andrew would go on to become famous for. A few months after the Motley Crue performances, Test reappeared in the WWF, aligning himself with The Rock and The Corporation. From here, Test would go on to have a multi-year career with the WWE that included many title wins and some interesting storylines.
Many people will remember the Stephanie McMahon / Test wedding of 1999, the Test and Albert tag team, the "Un-Americans" stable, and Test's on-screen relationship with real life girlfriend Stacy Keibler. This video covers all these topics and more.

R.I.P. Test. Even though the WWE may have forgotten about you; a lot of us fans haven't.
One of my favorites on Wrestlemania 2000.
i may have not been a Test fan, but it is quite sad that he's become forgetable by the time of his passing. the WWE Hall of Fame is a joke anyway. especially when you put the likes of the Botch Twins in there over guys like Test. The Bellas haven't been round long either nor are they wrestling anymore n they are still kikn unlike Test. somethin definitely wrong wit that picture.
I agree man well said he was a player i use to be in here comes the pain
BLM more. We need to remember the black superstars of old. Not the white ones.
@@EricMcCurrySharonGodwinSlayer czcams.com/video/rdpIIiBe7Wc/video.html
WWE may have forgotten Test, but his fans and close friends will never forget him.
Whenever I hear stories like this, my heartbreaks. At least Andrew is at peace.
Yeah man he was there for a while unfortunately he was the Bryan Clarke of his era!
Isnt he having 3 worm sandwiches everyday doe?!?!?! Hows that working out for *TEST* ICLES?!?!?!
@@joshuawhite8247 POV: you have no life and spend your day making fun of dead people on yt comments
Test was so over during the Stephanie storyline but completely lost everything after the wedding. He didn’t even get a revenge storyline. He could have been a major face taking revenge on HHH at Armageddon
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the wedding storylines was one of the final Vince Russo storylines in WWF before he took over creative at WCW. So Vinnie Mac either foolishly had no plans for Test after Russo's departure, or he was one of many who fell victim to the shovel of the man with 3 H's.
Not true. In 2000-2001 he won so many titles and was a double champion.
I read somewhere that originally it was planned to be Triple H vs Test at Armageddon but Triple H talked Vince into having the match instead which just halted any potential Test main event push. No idea if it's true or just a rumour though.
@@heelgill True. I suppose I was thinking along the status of singles main eventer. Although I admit i enjoyed his tag run in T&A when the WWE tag division was hot.
HHH buried him because test was everything he was but bigger, more athletic and better.
Test was incredibly underrated, alot of his moves looked good and that match with him and Kane from No Mercy 2001 is an underrated gem of a Hoss Fight.
I walked right into the Hooters when that match was playing on the television and I was rooting for my boy Test to get the big win and did he deliver! Great moment. The Big Boot was a killer!
You want a Hoss fight, watch Test vs. Brock. I know it's a fondly remembered match, and it's all warranted.
I also enjoyed not only him teaming with Albert, but also his work in the Hardcore Division
And then of course his work in the Corporation
So many great memories for a small, but important part of the Attitude Era
Check out his match with Brock lesnar very underrated
Ye when I first saw him perform 'The Overdrive' I was WTF!!!!!!! :O. Badass move, very creative
HHH knew why he was doing when he “innocently” suggested to Vince that he marries Stephanie. He saw what was happening and cut off Test at the knees.
Yeah you could do a whole Hollywood movie on that Sh!#!!!
Cander5142. Indeed. Corney was right about the son-in-law is a social climber. He could not further his career solo like Austin, Hitman, & Rock. Glorified mid carder at best & Bret rates him 4/10.
Ratings are down now let's see if hunter can make the save after Vinnie Mac's retires
EXACTLY!
Innocently my ass HHH has nothing innocent in his body
Hey man...I hate Brownnose Levesque, but business is business. He knew how to, pun intended, play the game.
Always loved Test.
One thing that sticks in my mind was Jim Cornette saying in an interview that while he didn't know Test that well, there was a time when he took a pumphandle slam and Andrew really looked after him during the move.
There's also footage on CZcams of Test, during his Heel angle, pumphandle slamming Stacy, you can see he takes all the weight on his forearms and knees while making sure to tuck her head in and protect her.
Actions speak louder than words.
Great Heel.
Class act.
Andrew (Test) between classes in High School would walk passed you in the hallway and throw his toothpick at you, while saying “Hey Chico”. This was at 16 years old. He had a wrestling passion and personal vision. Think about him and miss him all the time.
"He's no Kevin Nash." I would take that as a compliment to my in-ring abilities.
@@growing.grounds4054
Until WWF I had never heard of Test.
@@kimwaddell3329 ...That's because he didn't do anything but small circuit shows before WWF. There was nothing to hear.
Kevin Nash was big sexy...what r u? Nothing....so don't hate on the diesel
@@kingofdetroit358 You don't get it, we're not hating on Diesel... on purpose, anyway. We're defending Test. Maybe at Nash's expense, heh
Big lazy
I have to admit I was pretty bummed when he passed away
Same. That picture in black and white with him screaming and his arms out will forever be ingrated in my head with his passing when I read it. I always liked him and was extremely sad when I was reading about it. This one really hurted.
@@pirajacinto4 what picture
I wasn't
A great Canadian 🇨🇦 wrestler that died way too young
Sounds like Owen Hart
Amen
Amen 2 that
He wasn't great
*Another great Canadian wrestler that died too young.
He was one of my favs of that era. Shame Vince mishandled him, he had the promo ability, looks, in ring ability and height. He will always be considered a legend up here in Canada. Former hardcore champion, Former European champion, former tag team champion and former IC champ. Rest in peace big man 👊💪
The biggest wasted wrestling talent imo was Sean O'Hare
Sean o haire had the same fate
Vince mishandled many talented wrestlers whom had huge potential and should had been successful in the wrestling industry for decades
Test had primo abilities? What were you watching? 😂
Test could have actually gone further than Diesel. Remember Kevin Nash really hadn't been in WWE for that long before he left so with time Test would have had a longer and more successful run. Test may not have been as naturally funny as Kevin Nash but he had the size, was younger, and better looking. Also he worked well when paired with others who may have had a bit more personality in storylines. He could have really been something if they'd kept him with Trish.
i think T & A was the best part of his career trish had the mic skills to make it work and albert was just a big beast at the time they for sure would have went over big if they had the backing from wwe....imo
Not likely. Once HHH married Stephanie in the storyline, Test became an afterthought. He never recovered.
Evil Alien those guys were beasts as a tag team I definitely think it was Test and Albert best run and having Trish Stratus as their manager was great
@@alanguages he became a joke
Nice one HHH another one buried
Test was just a poor man's Kevin Nash.
Nobody did the Big Boot like Test. I’ve had the privilege of doing a custom Titantron on him last year and his This Is The Test theme is one of the best themes in WWE.
Wwe may have forgotten about Test but not us fans who grew up watching him. RIP TEST! Pump handle slam to the Big Boot!
@J G Heck yea bro!
It always pained me that they didn’t use his immunity gimmick he acquired after Survivor Series 2001.
Also he had the dopest theme. I created a stable on the N64 No Mercy game and that was our collective music.
2001 was the year of Test. I don't care what anyone says. While the Invasion era is critically panned, I thought Test was the MVP of that time.
Chancellor Karla but who better than Kanyon? He was the Alliance MVP. I have the t-shirt somewhere!
@@chancellorkarla6884 that would have been rvd but after Booker t test would be in that convo..... side note tajirri should have been in the alliance too
One of my favorite games of all-time and favorite game system. Except for that glitch that wouldn't allow the created women to win the overall game. It would turn the girls into the default guy and reset the whole game. 🎮😂😂
I agree regarding the immunity gimmick... they could have him doing all sorts of things... trashing the ring and backstage area, assaulting everyone in sight, from other wrestlers to the announcers to Vince himself, and just as Vince as about to give him the "YOU'RE FIRED", he could remind him that he won the Immunity Battle Royal and therefore couldn't fired until November 2002 at the earliest
Seems like Triple H saw test as a threat. Unfortunately so many people have had their careers taken away from them from Triple H.
like who?
@@sss55qq36 CM P...
@@sss55qq36 he screwed booker t over
There's a reason he was called The Cereal Assassin and The Game he played it better than anyone I'm not saying it's right but truth is truth
@@georgemunro319 Indeed, nobody could annihilate a bowl of Cheerios like The Game.
one of the reasons why I have long hair is because growing up all my favorite pro wrestlers had long hair ,triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Hardy boys, edge and Christian and Test. Test was one of my favorites when I was a kid and I remember being heartbroken when I heard that he passed away
#TestForHOF
Never noticed the similar looks between test and nash
Well, it said early on in the video that he was viewed "as a more handsome version of Nash"
Test, this is a Test, Test, Test, This is a Test
Here we go, bring your name, we can hold peace.
I’ve been waiting for this! Andrew “Test” Martin was one of my favourites, he definitely had potential to be something special, just a shame he succumbed to the WWE pressures, and got on the roids on his second run, (it was obvious he was on something during his ECW run)
Man, I was just talking about Test with my dad last night. How come he never got a push after Tripsle H literally stole his fiance? Like, what? You're just gonna have this massive guy accept it and not get his revenge and girl back? Absolute bull
I agree. I think Test did have a match with HHH after the whole Stephanie turning heel situation, but it wasn't made a big deal and he lost. I think WWF at the time just didn't think Test could hang as a major babyface especially compared to the Rock. If Test had to match barbs with Rock as a babyface then it likely would've ended similar to Billy Gunn.
@Drupiter unfortunately he wasn't great on the mic, I believe if he'd had that he would've been huge
Drupiter mic skills and overbite. thats all it took for him not to get that brass ring
He got good start in beginning.
Look where HHH is now ass kiss.
If only Andrew had known how his fans truly felt about him, he might still be with us today.
I remember the last time that I saw him... I gave him a hug that lifted him off his feet; and told him that I was proud of him. Even then, I saw in his face that he was still the small town boy that he always was; and that deep down, he wasn't happy. If only I could have said, or done something to intervene... my friend might still be with us.
Andrew was, as Bret said, one if the good ones. 😢👍
you know him personally ?
@@ryanoz5374
Yes. I worked with him in nightclubs and bars... fought beside him, literally shoulder to shoulder... partied with him and other friends... etc...
He asked me to go with him and another friend to train at Brett Hart's ranch, but I chose to pursue a career in Information Technology (which turned out to be the right choice for me). The three of us were the same height; and I was closer to Andrew's build, while our friend George was barrel-chested.
I knew that Andrew could do well in the WWF/WWE, but being on the road so much... I suspect that he missed his family and friends.
OMG That was one of the saddest life and career of's
ive seen by far. It was The Test interview at the end of his life
That got me.When he said he'd been to 8 funerals at 32 and
Doesn't want to be burried next to them.I properly feel for Andrew Martin after this vid.RIP TEST
This might be one of the BEST EPISODES you've ever done! Amazing details!
Todd Richardson unfortunately, it’s the best because it’s such a sad story! He was knocked back too many times
It's sad as I saw Test at an indy show about 6 months before he passed away where he faced Albert. A friend of mine also got his picture taken with him. It's really eerie in retrospect. Criminally underrated big man of the business.
Man, I wasn't ever really a fan of Test, but this was a very tragic story and I'm very sorry that happened to him. Someone should make an Andrew Martin Foundation is his honor. I really love these videos though and this is definitely one of my favorite channels!
Dang wrestling bio have evolved so much from a small youtube channel
Test was very underatted I felt he should've been bigger then what he actually was.
Seems he could have been everything Batista went on to be had he got the correct backing
Damn this still hurts 💔 RIP Test 🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ he will never be forgotten rest easy bro 😢
I'll never forget this man's impact on wrestling. Simply A GOAT in his own right. You are sorely missed my brother. Fly high 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
It has been a while , a really long time since I decided to mention a very short conversation with Drew. I had known him 28 years and his early days 21 22 years old we were in sales together and worked side by side. I remember him telling me that he was going to be a professional wrestler. I knew it was a dream of his, then all of a sudden he was gone. The next thing I knew was he signed with ( at the time) WWF which ofcourse became WWE. I had not been able to reach him until he show up in my old neighborhood. I didnt realize he was looking for me until my mother called and said Andrew came by to see you. I met with him later at one of our favorite hang out spots. Drew had told me and kept me up to speed on what he felt was really going on. He did a personal feelings for steph, no dought. Truthfully, as the media would and WWE would say that that broke his heart. No, no so much. Not according to my long time friend. I remember Drew a few months before his passing he told me that he felt as if he had been used. Which in turn made him feel useless. I will not go into detail but I will say this.....Drew ( Test) seen what others could not. Almost as if he knew he was more than a foot in the ground. R.I.P. brother....I'm sure not only me but many still miss you terribly....
Actually I can see how he would have felt used. He totally was, even though it may not have been intentional. It's almost as if Trips took his spot. I mean I know this is all a story line, but still. Test had a bunch bigger role in the future of wresting since he was directly involved in the beginning of what ended up becoming a permanent storyline that got mixed with real life. So if he did have feelings for Steph than one could think that he should be now where Trips is. But I don't know the dynamics of Trips and Stephs initial relationship since things can get blurred between the storyline relationship, and the real one. Now I'm a totally straight male, but have some sense of the female psych. Steph might be a bit different since she is used to being around muscular guys, but most women I've met would, based on physical appearance, would be much more attracted to Drew.
I miss him as a wrestling fan. You miss him as a friend. I so sorry for your loss, brother. Thank you for sharing that!
Do you mean he had actual feelings for steph ?
Sorry for your loss 😢😢😢
I knew Andrew before he went into professional wrestling. We worked together... partied together... I fought alongside him in bar brawls and street brawls. There were times when via unspoken words, we watched each other's backs. Amongst us were some other great friends. We all knew Andrew as a guy with his heart in the right place. He was one of those people who really cared about the friends he made. He was close to his family; and he loved animals... especially his dog.
I remember the day when Andrew and our friend George came over to my place, immediately after he met Bret Hart in Toronto. The three of us were 6'6"; and solidly built. The two of them were already set to go to Calgary to train under Bret. They asked me to come out with them, since they knew that I was a fan of professional wrestling. Being a few years older, I turned down the offer, as I had other plans.
To this day, I always wonder whether Andrew would still be with us if I'd gone with him... and had I been good enough to make it to the WWE with him. He was the sort of person who cherished friendships and good times. Having a friend who he could relate to may have gone a long way. The last time that I saw him in Toronto, he looked sad despite being a well-known Professional Wrestler on TV. I knew in my heart that it was because deep down, Andrew was the kid from a small town in Ontario; and he missed the simple life... a life that was free of all the complications.
I miss him. He was a good friend. I was glad to have known him.
Sounds like you were a good friend to him.
@@RoboShinKen
I'm not alone in that respect. Andrew was a good man
Great Story Mick I didn't know U & Test were friends .
That almost brought a tear to my eye. Seems like he was a good person.
Wow, thats great to hear man. Thanks for telling us that.
Damn good Bio on Test, not gonna lie, the ending with how his outlook on the business and Bret Hart's quote got me....... R.I.P......
Test was way better than Nash even from the get go.
Triple H and his boys obviously just didn't like the guy for whatever reason.
I think you will find that not many people liked Test. He was way too egotistical and thought he was the star of the show.
He came on a tour in Australia and his deal was, He HAD to win, and he HAD to be the biggest wrestler in the ring.
It had been planned for him to wrestle Nathan Jones, but Jones was maybe 6 inches taller than Test, so he refused to wrestle.
That's why he never got far in the WWE. (And of course, his drug problems).
They were both jealous of Test body
They were way too egotistical to help a young buck get over alongside them
@@davidedwards3361 Sounds exactly like HHH and Shawn Michaels.
Cause he was a stud.
He was one of my favorites during the invasion, such a gem.
the WWE has Test's blood all over their hands and they know it. Their blantant misuse of his talents led to his undoing. This is why they choose to 'forget' this man. I remember him coming in and he was AWESOME. The total package. Such a shame. RIP buddy.
Yes blame WWE for the man's personal decisions and choices. Obv R.I.P Test but you're a fool
Even if they misused him in the company, how is that having blood their hands? That's quite the leap there. He died from his drug problem, but all the same rip to Test.
@@DevilSurvivor69 yeah you right it is, but I wrote this two years ago so idk what I was feeling at the time I wrote this. Just seemed like one thing lead to another and it could have been avoided and I think that if he had continued on the push that he was currently on instead of it getting stopped in his tracks by certain people who were afraid of losing their spot that things MAYBE could have been different.
I always had a soft spot for Andrew and was always a wrestler I'd keep an eye out for. Also was one of my friends on MySpace. Such a shame
May he R.I.P
HHH did Test Dirty ...
Nothing new... He kills so many careers
He really did
Yeah. As well as Chyna, Sting, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Goldberg, DDP and any credible WCW alumni
He will live a great life on this world but just wait until judgement says when God is like instead of helping your fellow brother you hurt them
...which amazes me how Chris Jericho made it out to look so good,
@@tyvillianheartthrob1856
His music themes made me feed into him more and more. His ECW (wwe version) run felt depressing more so because he was kept a less important wrestler til the end.
Finally!! The GREATEST mid-carder of all time. IMHO.
Sorry, he was good and I'm a fan, but Mr Perfect was the best mid carder ever
@@manaiabull indeed. Perfect and Rude
I never considered Perfect and Rude as pure mid-carders. More bottom of the top-level talents. If I were to see them in that light, then I agree.
William Steven Regal was the best mid carder ever. That's not opinion, that's just fact
Honestly, Test is up there with some of the best stars of the Attitude Era
One of your best videos my friend. Test was very underrated at the time and died way too young. Keep up the good work. By far the best wrestling channel on CZcams
Agree. By far the best wrestling channel on youtube (and I seen A LOT). And yes died too young. Drugs boy
The man dated Stacy Keibler was dating Kelly Kelly when he checked out, so atleast he went out on a super high note.
Was he banging Steph or was that just kayfabe?
@@misterlinn2096
The video almost makes it seem like they had a thing outside of kayfabe. I've never heard of her being with anyone besides Trips, though.
PappeH Macho Man wants a word, OH YEAH.
Priscilla Everyone had a piece of Tori not that I blame em lol
@Priscilla
He was with Tori too? Goddamn, my man Test was getting all the good ones.
Its sadistic how the company distances from him as he died from drug abuse. They just want their image to be clean and completely forget his contribution.
Awww, this turned out to be a sad video in the end. I was a teenage girl when the whole Test/Steph storyline happened and I lapped it up, lol. Sadly he lost so much momentum when HHH swooped in at the end and basically robbed him of all of his heat. And he was doomed to the midcard after that.
I'm 30 I grew up watching Test put in work rest in peace Test🙏🙏🙏
I started watching in 2001 and he was one of my favs. Looking back he had a really good look and had mastered the basics in the ring. With some more experience and a steady push he could have been a big deal
I thought he was signed to TNA for a while but that company did nothing with him.
Thank you for keeping his memory alive.
He was actually one of my favorites. He had lots of potential. Thanks for this bio! 😏
most intense big men ever:
Test, Sean O'Haire, Mike Awesome ... and they're all dead ....
Awesome was literally awesome. And Sean O'Haire, I don't understand what they did with him. Any company would have loved to have a guy his size who moved like he did. His Swanton Bomb made Jeff Hardy's look like backyard wrestling. The first time I saw him land one, he rolled through into a crouched position on one knee, arms extended to each side, his head tilted up slightly to look into the hard cam. I could not believe what I had just seen was done by a guy who was 6'7" and weighed about 260. Sorry for the long reply, just O'Haire oozed skill and potential and they couldn't have cared less.
@@carpepesci Cornette says when he had Sean in OVW, he and his brother would go to bars to start fights and there was always lawsuits and incidents around him so maybe the company you keep sometimes. Be that as it may I was always a fan of O'Haire's work.
@@stephentrout7879 Even after O'Haire was let go from the company, he still was getting into bar fights. He even stated in an interview he enjoyed doing it.
U forgot about Sid
People forget Randy Orton is 1 inch shorter than Test. If Test is considered a “big man” then so should Randy Orton. And if that’s the case, no big man is more intense than him and Undertaker.
Thank you for this video!
Test should have defeated Triple H for the WWF Title, even if he lost it a few days later. Thanks for the video, love your channel, especially the excellent Reliving the War series!
Trips is nothin more than a brown noser. He did Test dirty.
@@Machete87 not only Test but many others including Booker T
that would have bin a awesome feel good moment.....probably why wwe purposely put hhh over lol
His match against Shane O Mac was fantastic
@@ComicBookGuy420 Agreed. Doesn't get talked about as much as it should
Always was a great performer. It's a shame to hear he had such a hard time keeping his head above water in the WWE. What a missed(or not fully utilized) opportunity. The Full-Nelson Slam and Pump-Handle Slam were iconic and always executed superbly; a technical brawler -- much like I enjoy about The Acolytes style. R.I.P. Test
Yes!!! Thank you Wrestling Bios I have been waiting for Test 👍🏼
Test was a million times more likeable than Kevin Nash. I think it was another case of triple h being jealous.
No he wasn't.
i was thinking the same thing
Dominic Omegon Yes he was. Nash is crybaby he always seems to be bitching about someone.
Test was fairly average in the ring and had no where near the charisma of Nash
Test was one of my favorite wrestlers looking back. He did his cocky/heel character on Raw so well that I keyfabe hated him. He was awesome to watch in ECW. I had the honor of seeing him wrestle twice at house shows, 2001 (against Haku) and 2003 (against Scott Steiner)
God this drew a few tears mate, very poignant and moving.
Remember Test being criminally underused in WWE and unfortunately another victim of HHH shovel as if I need more reason to dislike Hunter
Felt so sorry for him when watching how talented he was and not getting the push he really deserved but he wasn't the 1st in that position and wasn't the last either
That quote he said a year prior really hit me, you can tell how much of a toll the industry took on him but he tried to survive but sadly didn't
I will never forget Andrew "Test" Martin. R.I.P.
Thanks for the upload. Test was an underrated talent. R.I.P. I remember him fondly by his relationship with Stacy Keibler. I thought he was a good wrestler. It's real shitty he got released from his contract from the WWE because of his neck injury. Unless your Austin, or the Rock you'll lose your spot. I really hope some of the guys acknowledged his death. I know I did, and I wasn't even in the business. I was shocked. To be a professional wrestler in the WWE now a days is an acquired taste. You'll either end up feeling fine when you retire from the business and find success outside of the ring if you're superstar , or you will become a drug addict, and die real young if you don't take good care of yourself as man. To be dependent on pills everyday to help you function and do your job well as a wrestler 300 days out of the year is brutal. Mad respect to those guys. What wrestlers go through is much worse than the NBA, the NFL and the MLB, in terms of traveling, driving, training, injuries, and working non-stop.
Happy birthday to Andrew Martin
Thank you for creating this video! There's not enough love for Andrew "Test" Martin
Wow, thanks for this one. Test was one of my favorites growing up.
HHH killed this man career
I was a BIG MARK for Test, Loved him when i was younger, And his entrance music was one of my favs back in the day! Great vid!
His running boot was flawless
Test is the only guy who can make a running boot look like a finisher
Been waiting for this one, this is a Test
MY BOY! You can fight me on that one, Jay Hunter. Seriously, I'm a huge fan in retrospect for Test, and I think, much like Ken Shamrock, that if Test had his push during the Ruthless Agression era, then he would've been a main event guy.
I liked both those guys and I agree with you. I think Test would've run into the walls known as Jonh Cena, HHH, or Batista if he stayed though.
Test is in your boy stable
@@Thebossstage1 Yep. Test, Shamrock, Rene Dupree, Dan Severn, Corey Graves, and Nikki Cross.
R.I.P. Andrew "Test" Martin, great video by the way
I always thought Test was a very solid performer. It's a shame the way things played out. Thanks for putting out a documentary that remembers his contributions.
I've just recently made him undisputed champion in Here comes the pain on the PS2. Something he should have been in reality. Edit: My apologies it is Shut your mouth not Here comes the pain. I'm currently playing both of them simultaneously.
Glad I’m not the only one that still plays HCTP
How can you make him undisputed champ when there’s no option to take the WWE & World Heavyweight Championship that are in two separate brands?
Cool story bro, but The Undisputed Championship isn't on Here Comes The Pain

I miss him so much best pro wrestler ever😥 I wish I can see him in modern video game and use him beat up everyone else
I had the pleasure of meeting Test when I was 12. In late 2007 Test replied to a few fan messages I sent him. This was before Twitter was the norm.
Test was so underrated. Great move set and one of my favorite finishers of all time.
HHH always hating on someone. He 1st said Test was to green for DX, then stole Steph afterwards. HHH didn't like The Rock at first and I truly believe Bret when he said HHH was the brainstorm of the screw job. pshh
HHH was jealous of The Rock's superstardom.
Who cares?

Wow!! I cant say enough about this channel. The wwe might have forgotten about these wrestlers but wrestling bios keeps these forgotten men and women names alive. Thank you wrestling bios.
Rest in paradise TEST
It really is a damned shame that he died so young. He was one of my favorite wrestlers back in those days.
Thorough and classy mini doc about a wrestler who should have gone further. Well done.
He was one of my favorite wrestlers. I watched Raw when he first came out as a rock band bouncer and I was like "he should be fighting in the WWF!"
Beautiful tribute to Test. This channel always handles stories like this with great care.
Awesome theme song for Test
Let’s start a petition for Test to be remembered and inducted into the hall of fame. He always did what was asked of him in storylines! I vote for Bret Hart to induct his fellow Canadian! We love you Andrew Martín and you are missed to this day R.I.P champ!
HHH throws out an "innocent" suggestion.
Yea right Hunter.
The cerebral assassin deserves his nickname
Laughable how even Vince got played by him. Manipulated his way right to his daughter.
@@NitroNEXT yeah it s surprising because Vince is a smart man. He should have seen all this
Rest In Paradise Test and may GOD bless Wrestling Bios
Test was a good performer shame he passed away. Another brilliant bio thanks 😎👍
Test was a badass and excellent wrestler w all the skills needed and should've gotten better treatment in WWE. Will always be one of my Favorites.
Test should be in the hall of fame for everything he has done with and for the WWE TEST 2021 hall of Famer
Thank you so much! I've been waiting on a Test video! He was so underrated! And in my opinion, he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame!
test had one of my fav theme songs of the attitude era, sounded so badass, i was not fan when they paired him with trish, but overall he had a good run
Thank you very much for this. Your commentary was just great and I did shed a tear at the very end. Thank you for all the great content.
So true that WWE doesn't recognize some of the greats that gave so much of themselves to the business. RIP Test
His old entrance theme was 🔥🔥
HHH just casually throwing out that he should have a relationship with Stephanie... HHH only ever did business for himself, it wasn't an innocent, casual comment. It was a play for more power (at the cost of yet another wrestler).
i like watching test. he was a big guy who could move. he was mismanaged, he could have been a great top guy. i dont think anyone doesnt think he deserved better.
Extremely underrated wrestler. I hate the politics that took opportunities from dudes like Test. He could have been a huge star. May he rest in peace.
You always do a great job with all of your videos, but the ones about those that have passed, are by far your best ones. Thank you for being such a fan of this great sport/business. Always very tasteful and a constant professional, you WrestlingBios, sir, you are the G.O.A.T. when it comes to informative videos. Again, thank you man.
Great channel I was hoping for a Test video, he was definitely a missed opportunity. He really should have had a title run in ECW imo #ripandrewtestmartin
we shall never let any new fans not know about test.
This legitimately my favorite channel. I really appreciate the quality of all the videos you've been putting out
Wow, didn't know about the name origins. Great vid
