T & A (Test & Albert) is a former heel professional wrestling tag team in the World Wrestling Federation. The team often used a double big boot attack to finish off opponents. T&A had Trish Stratus as their team manager.
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 during 2000.
The team feuded with other established tag teams including Too Cool, and the Hardy Boyz. 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 tag team titles.
In December 2000, Albert turned on Test, causing (kayfabe) internal injuries which resulted in bleeding from Test's mouth. Albert went on to join X-Pac and Justin Credible in their own stable, X-Factor. Test moved on to join the WCW-ECW Alliance.
