• Old School Attitude Era Veteran Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the birthday of Old School WWF Attitude Era Veteran Test (Real name: Andrew Martin).
Test wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation (later renamed WWE) from 1998 till 2004, but returned to their ECW brand in 2006 before they let him go again in 2007.
Trivia fact: Test was allegedly named after the most common anabolic steroid, Testosterone, though Bruce Prichard claims that wasn’t the case.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE
March 17, 1975 – March 13, 2009

• Old School Wrestling Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School Wrestling Veteran Samoa Joe (Real name: Nuufolau Joel Seanoa) celebrates his birthday today.
Samoa Joe joined the World Wrestling Federation’s developmental promotion Ultimate Pro Wrestling in 2000 and made his WWF debut towards the end of the famous Attitude Era during the March 3, 2001 episode of WWF Jakked/WWF Metal.
Joe originally made a name for himself in the early years of Ring of Honor, before joining Total Nonstop Action! in 2005, where he became a well known star and also won multiple Championships, including a win over WWF/E Legend Kurt Angle for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at the ‘TNA LockDown 2008’ PPV.
After almost 10 full years with the company, he left iMPACT Wrestling (TNA’s new name) in early 2015 and joined WWE’s developmental department “NXT”, just a few weeks later.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAMOA JOE!
