WWE.com now list Tensai as a failure in his own bio
 
His bio on WWE.com now reads

"Over the following months, Tensai quickly went from intimidating behemoth to overhyped disappointment".

Guess that experiment is hopefully done for.

Pintint 10-09-2012 05:55 PM

What do you have against Tensai?
I think he's a great wrestler, albeit saddled with an underwhelming gimmick, but he has always been entertaining in the ring.

I hope WWE repackages him back as A-Train.

Juan 10-09-2012 06:30 PM

I think "great wrestler" might be a stretch.

He can renounce his former gimmick and turn heel for some reason.

Rammsteinmad 10-09-2012 07:02 PM

I'm still trying to figure out why they even signed him again and expected something out of it.

Nicky Fives 10-09-2012 07:10 PM

If anyone in WWE needs to be repackaged, it Tensai & Swagger..... Tensai especially..... just bring back A-Train.....

Pretty much this.

Corporate CockSnogger 10-09-2012 08:33 PM

The guys useless without Test.

dronepool 10-09-2012 09:07 PM

He should be repackaged as A-Train and get him to feud for the IC belt.

The Condor 10-09-2012 09:18 PM

People would eat up an A-Train revival, they're basically calling for it. Just further proof that the dubdubE is deaf to it's consumers.

weather vane 10-09-2012 09:30 PM

He should be in a tag team. If they want to rejuvenate the division then take him and a few other guys off TV and come up with some creative tag teams. Get the two guys who are off TV to spend a lot of time with the other guys training or even working FCW or something. Come up with a great name, look, chrmistry, etc...

weather vane 10-09-2012 09:32 PM

You cant just throw two random guys together and expect people to buy it out of nowhere with the same name and gimmick they have had forever.

dronepool 10-09-2012 09:40 PM

A-Train and Brodus Clay. Team Funky Train. :shifty::wtf:

Emperor Smeat 10-09-2012 10:18 PM

Had a feeling it was only a matter of time once they started to drop his whole "Lord" tag and story in Japan to become just another generic big man type heel.

Even him beating up Sakamoto had actual meaning as part of the culture in Japan but even that got ignored into the announcers always questioning why Sakamoto kept getting beatings.

Shisen Kopf 10-09-2012 11:57 PM

The should release him. Jap Albert is terrible just like all his other failed gimmicks. The dude sucks.

Because HOSS = RATINGS!

Even after *magically* knowing what's on Punk's DVD (without ever seeing it... because there is no way I could have seen it already, mind you) it is overwhelming to me that they possibly could produce such a doc that underlines this very perception problem, and then still fall on the sword of continuing to try and push someone MERELY because they're large framed anyway.

Albert isn't a bad hand. Just stupid gimmick. It's not like he's Chris Masters.

Joesgonnakillyou 10-10-2012 04:47 AM

Can we stop saying "Tensai experiment"? It's not an experiment, it never was.

I feel sorry for him, he was saddled with an out of date gimmick (that clearly came out of Vince's out of touch mind) and it didn't work. Nothing wrong with him as a wrestler

Evil Vito 10-10-2012 07:15 AM

<font color=goldenrod>It does not say that on his profile. If it was there, they've since taken it down.</font>

PorkSoda 10-10-2012 07:26 AM

Brock Lesnar F-5'ed A-Train so hard he now thinks he's Japanese.

Just double-checked. Since the dirt sheets reported it WWE appears to have changed the wording on their website, which is smart on their part...and probably bad news for whomever worded the bio that way to begin with.

WinterDecay 10-10-2012 11:07 AM

They brought back a guy no one was looking for and can not figure out why no one wants to see him ....

Next WWE is bring back .. El Gigante

Or you're reporting tabloid crap.

While WWE.com itself is a popular site, that's probably the first time it didn't fall into "tabloid," and even then a quick google search doesn't reveal much in the way of "popular" sites covering it.

I dunno, maybe it's "big news," but I'm sticking with tabloid bullshit, given the odds.

BigCrippyZ 10-11-2012 02:56 AM

All this thread has accomplished is made me realize I miss Test. Always thought he was under utilized and under appreciated for his talent as a big man.

Curd 10-11-2012 05:03 AM

In a nod to Stephanie's role in creative, Tensai tangles with the Billion Dollar Princess in a rematch of their February 2003 encounter (when Vince was softening up Steph for their No Way Out 2003 match). Tensai dominates until HHH returns to a mammoth pop, brains Tensai with the sledgehammer, and puts Stephanie on top for the three count as Sakamoto cowers ringside, unwilling to interfere. :lol:

Post match, Sakamoto teabags Tensai! Trips grabs the microphone and reveals Sakamoto is the new Executive Vice President of Talent Relations! Sakamoto, Trips, and Steph walk to the back as Tensai stirs. :|

The following RAW, Tensai quits WWE in shame via Tout to return to AJPW. :wave:

You are so on the money on that.

Kane Knight is a lost cause.

Slik is mad & sad Billy and Chuck ain't around no more.

Ultra Mantis 10-11-2012 09:20 AM

They should have stuck with it. Overhyped Disappointment t-shirts would have flown off the shelves.

The Fugitive 10-11-2012 09:34 AM

Something, something, needs to snap, something, bad-ass submission machine.

In all seriousness, like the guy, but I don't know how you'll salvage him at this point aside from dropping Tensai completely. Don't feel it's doing him any favors.

Yeah, how dare I not believe a guy who has admitted to trolling for his personal amusement?

"Lost cause" means "not troll bait," seth?

Mr. Nerfect 10-12-2012 02:05 AM

Tensai should have never been brought back in an attempt to make him an instant main eventer, anyway. Gertner is correct when he sums up Tensai's potential to the WWE roster -- he's a great big mid-carder that someone can beat and look credible.

The reason no one cares about him is because his gimmick is pretty cheesy and no one really knows what it is about. Let him cut a promo in English to explain his motivations. Why did he go to Japan? Why is he back? His ring work is fine, especially since they've stopped trying to get him over with ridiculous finishers and "slow, methodical" pacing.
