- Matt Bloom, the wrestler currently known as Giant Bernard for New Japan Wrestling and formerly known as A-Train, has reportedly re-signed with WWE. It is said that he will report to WWE after WrestleMania, and it is likely to be a bodyguard role for on-air authority figure John Laurinaitis.
When Bernard was asked on Twitter earlier this week if he had been contacted by any US promotion to be on their television show, he replied with, "Nope."
Bernard enjoyed a recent IWGP Tag Title run with Karl "Machine Gun" Anderson.

He says the report is 100% false.
He wrote on his Twitter: "Haha! False. Wife just had a baby. I'll be on next tour."
When asked how the rumor got started, he added: "Not sure but it's comical."

I wonder if we are still able to see the release of the Giant Bernard card since he was signed before re-signing with WWE. Good for him though. I am a big fan of his. I hope he gets a good push.

I hope we still get the card. Why are some cards held back anyway? Why go to the trouble of signing the guy?

The way it was explained a couple months back was that Giant Bernard & Blue Meanie were originally scheduled to be released as part of Legends 11 but then there were a couple last minute signings (I think the Tolos brothers) that bumped them from the lineup.
Cards are held back so that there are enough signings to release a full set. If they were all released as they were signed we would never have full sets, just a bunch of individual releases.
