Clark joined Smoky Mountain Wrestling in October 1992 and made his debut on a show in Knoxville , TN , losing to SMW Champion Brian Lee by countout . He later defeated Tracy Smothers to become the promotion 's second-ever " Beat The Champ " Television Champion on February 2 , 1993 . He lost the title to Tim Horner six days later . On March 8 , 1993 Clark received a tryout match for the World Wrestling Federation , wrestling Reno Riggins at a WWF Superstars taping in North Charleston , SC as The Nightstalker . He had another tryout match the following night at a WWF Wrestling Challenge taping , defeating Ricky Nelson . In May 1993 , Clark debuted as '' ' Adam Bomb ' '' , the newest client of Johnny Polo . Wearing luminous green contact lenses , and sporting a red tongue . Bomb 's gimmick was that of a survivor of the infamous Three Mile Island nuclear meltdown accident , which was further emphasized by his ring name being a pun on the " atom bomb " . This gimmick was partly realistic ; Clark had actually been born and raised in Harrisburg , Pennsylvania , not far from Three Mile Island . Seven months after his debut , Harvey Wippleman replaced Polo as Bomb 's manager because Polo wanted to focus on managing WWF Tag Team Champions The Quebecers . The Adam Bomb concept and costume was designed and created by Tom Fleming
