* BashBrothers: With Brian Adams. If the two were working face they could mow through an entire division. If they were working heel, the combination of the two of them were treated as a threat to everyone they encountered, up to and including ''Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}''

* WrestlingMonster: Attempted with his various gimmicks - Adam Bomb was an irradiated mutant, Wrath was some kind of Mortal Kombat-esque monster. However, in the long run he always seemed to end up being subject to TheWorfEffect at the hands of a bigger monster (Earthquake as Adam Bomb, Goldberg and later Kevin Nash as Wrath...). At 6'6" 290 lbs, he was a tad small for a monster.
