[center][I]It's 2005 and the memory of Test is a small one. Nobody really remembers anything remarkable or worth noting of the once WWE superstar, except for his storyline engagement to one Stephanie McMahon leading to fueds with the Mean Street Posse and D-Generation X, which after Test was just lost in a pool of midcarders. In the last months in his time with WWE, Test was partnered up with real-life girlfriend Stacy Kiebler to "fix his image" in which he cut his hair, leading to his small fanbase being known as TESTicles and a small fued with Scott Steiner. A few months following that, Test was offically released from World Wrestling Entertainment and much hasn't been heard from him....until now.[/i][/center] [SIZE=5][B]Monday, 1st Week of January-Is the Test Back?[/B][/SIZE] -On many wrestling rumor websites, it appears that Andrew Martin, better known to the wrestling world as Test, is trying to make some sort of comeback.

As of right now, I will not be appearing in TNA. But hopefully in the near future, we can work something out."

Although his in-ring talent has improved some what and he show great promise, Martin will not be apart of the TNA roster."
