Above Average Angelo is one of the most beloved characters in BBA history. His classic promos, facial expressions, and gimmicks are what the BBA was all about. He may have only won one championship during his two year tenure in BBA, but his legacy will live on forever.

Triple A made his BBA debut at the PPV "Backyard Assault" in November of 2001. It was a triple-threat match for the Hardcore Title against M80 & Firestarter. Although Angelo would not win, he would cut the first of his many unorthodox interviews before the match. His in-ring promos usually started off with some very low-key, subtle description of what happened to him in the prior event. As these interviews would continue, Angelo would get louder and more frustrated with how his career was going...and eventually would be screaming and demanding opponents that he could beat. His strange and unique approach to confronting others was something the BBA fans hated. He would sometimes call out former BBA greats like Crazy Joe and Bucktooth Willy, knowing that they were already retired from action.

Triple A also started the longest losing streak in BBA history upon his debut. Although he claimed to be a star, nobody bought it. He lost countless matches between November 2001 and January 2002 against the likes of M80, Real Deal Rob, Impostor, Firestarter, Chuck Fury, Flawless among others. It seemed like he was going to forever be a jobber to the stars.

The beginning of Angelo's turnaround was a feud with the newly debuted Chuck Fury. In Fury's debut, Angelo seemed to have his first victory in the books with the Above Average Elbow drop...but veteran BBA official Perry "The Pecker" flipped him the bird and stopped counting. After laying out Perry, Angelo would turn around and receive a Gore from Chuck Fury and a quick count by the new BBA official (Jake Reichfield) would continue Triple A's losing streak. Angelo became irate and was looking for some retribution against Fury. He called him out for weeks, and berated him during his interviews. His prayers would finally be answered at the "New Year's Nightmare" PPV. His scheduled match was against Chuck Fury in a tables match, but a last minute addition to the match was a fired up Firestarter. Firestarter had destroyed Angelo the week prior, and was looking to do some more damage. The three-way tables match saw Angelo put Firestarter through the table. Chuck Fury would end up putting Angelo through the table with an incredible senton bomb, but the BBA ref was unable to make the decision official. Firestarter would return to the ring, but to instead nail Chuck Fury with the Up In Flames. Firestarter would help Angelo off the broken table, and replaced it with Fury's prone body. The referee rose to see Fury laid out on the remains of the table and made the only call he could; Angelo was the winner.

Impressed by his table match victory, Rob Sternberg returned to BBA after he was released from his commentator job to make an announcement. Sternberg's announcement that he was working for Public Access television became a concern of every BBA member, as it was obvious that he did not want BBA to be shown on "The Network". He would recruit Angelo and become his manager in the process because he truly believed that Triple A was someone "worthy" of being on the network.

After wrestling to a 10-minute time limit draw against Flawless, Triple A and Rob Sternberg would convince Flawless to join The Network. Angelo and Flawless would become the tag-team component of The Network, and were pretty successful in the process. Due to the fact that the BBA Tag-Team Titles were already retired, there was really no other teams for them to focus on. Angelo would go on to win his first championship during this time, the Hardcore Championship. He had one of the more lengthy title reigns for that championship, as history showed that it was nearly event-to-event title changes.

He would get involved in a feud with The Impostor during spring of 2002 that would culminate at Realm Of Champions. Angelo wound up losing the Hardcore Title earlier in the show to Rich Field, who in turn lost it to Firestarter. In his scheduled match with The Impostor, there was yet another incident where the referee was unable to continue. Firestarter would interfere, just like at New Year's Nightmare, and laid out Triple A's opponent. Angelo got the win, and attempted to shake hands with Firestarter. Firestarter misinterpreted the handshake, thinking he wanted his Hardcore Title back, and in the process hurting Angelo.

After the Firestarter confusion, Above Average Angelo would return to another losing streak. Sternberg was becoming impatient with Angelo & The Network's success, so he needed to motivate Angelo. He convinced Angelo that he would be the one to finally take the World Television Title away from Calypso and into the Network's hands. After losing the World Television Title match to Calypso, Triple A was kicked out of the Network. Sternberg made Network members Johnny Shotgun, Viper, and Flawless beat him up with no mercy. Although he wasn't a fan favorite at the time, the BBA fans began to sympathize for Angelo. He was used to having Sternberg as a manager, Firestarter as an unspoken ally, The Network as his protection...but now he had no one.

Despite his many unsuccessful bids to befriend future Undisputed Champion Real Deal Rob, Angelo knew something had to be done. After being interviewed like he was almost preoccupied with thoughts, it was clear that Triple A was thinking about making a change in his life. After witnessing Calypso and M80 turn heel and steal Real Deal Rob's BBA Undisputed World Title, Angelo realized an opportunity when he saw one. As Calypso & M80 tagged against Real Deal Rob in what was the beginning of the creation of the Next Generation cX, Calypso and M80 seemed to have the handicap match in the books. They delivered what was a devastating 3-D type maneuver, but into an M-Factor as an extra exclamation point. "Jump" by Van Halen then played over the Dixon House of Pain as Angelove made his debut! Dressed with a tie-dye shirt, sunglasses, a bandanna, and sweatpants (of course), Angelove danced his way into BBA limelight. He finished the match to tag with Real Deal Rob, and would end up getting the winning pinfall over M80 & Calypso.

cX would reunite, and take the BBA over in the absence of former World Champions Real Deal Rob & John Hanley. Angelove, however, would rise to the occasion to challenge the brass behind cX, Mike Savage. During the summer of 2002, Angelove became one of the most beloved wrestlers BBA had to offer. By challenging the BBA Commissioner, Angelove was entering main event status. At Hotter Than Hell, the hip/cool Angelove would challenge Savage for his Commissionership, but would fall short in an event that was almost completely dominated by a motivated cX. He did make sure to remind everyone that Real Deal Rob would be returning soon, and that they were going to take cX out together.

When Real Deal returned, Angelove was there to sing "Welcome Back" as suggested by the Brawlers from the back. Rob would return to yell at Angelove, telling him it was a joke and to stop with the funny business. As the weeks rolled on, it was apparent that the old antics of Real Deal Rob were rearing their ugly faces. Finally, Real Deal Rob would turn on Angelove and in the process broke his spirit. This was the end of the hip, cool Angelove. He would no longer be dancing his way into the ring every week. However, this did prompt the return of a familiar face.

Above Average Angelo made his return to the tune of "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf. The only thing that carried over from the Angelove gimmick back to the Triple A gimmick was his ragged and worn-in flannel shirt. He made it his goal to put Real Deal Rob on the sidelines because of the his betrayal. Angelo and Real Deal Rob would have one of the most verbal feuds in BBA history. Angelo made it clear that during RDR's absence that he was the first supporters of a petition to bring RDR back. They would go on to wrestle in a "Old School Bunkhouse Brawl" match at the PPV Total Carnage. Triple A would have his most impressive showing to date, wrestling in a lengthy Pay-Per-View classic. Unfortunate for the irate Angelo, he connected with his Falling In Love With Angelo finisher after the referee had already been incapacitated. Thanks to the interference of Viper and Bryan Blade, Real Deal Rob would pick up the victory after a vicious and illegal assault on Above Average Angelo.

Leading up to "Realm of Champions II: The Final Approach", Angelo would realized that in his match he would be surrounded by his former friends and enemies. His tag-team partner at the final PPV would be M80, now that they were now allies. In the back of his mind he knew that he battled M80 in his debut and during his feud with cX. Their tag-team opponents would be former Network ally-turned-enemy Flawless and his "Realm of Champions I" opponent The Impostor. Although no one seemed to expect much out of this random tag-team bout, these four men put together the best tag match that the BBA fans ever experienced. Hot tags, ringside area brawls, finisher kick-outs, near-falls, and wonderful chemistry would set the tone for the rest of the event. M80 and Triple A would get the pinfall victory when M80 connected with the Flipping Legdrop on The Impostor.

As you can see, the many faces of Angelo brought a lot of entertaining moments to the Backyard Brawlers Association. The first incarnation of Triple A brought out Angelo's comedic and serious sides. Angelove brought the fun-loving side of Angelo. The second incarnation of Triple A brought out Angelo's most impressive package as a wrestler/talker. Although Angelo will claim that he isn't a comedy act, his good nature brought the BBA locker room what it truly needed; a break from backstage boredom.
