I recall Test getting a pretty good push when 3H and DX first stole 
Steph from himm, only to be squashed a week or two later by 3H (another 
example of a heel 3H winning a (this time really short) feud over a face).

He DOES have a great Kick of Death.  Too bad they can't find a good 
partner for him.  Like Billy Gunn, I think Test is better suited towards 
being in a tag team.  In this case, one with a manager who can talk.
