I'm sure Punk and Tensai could work a really great match together, but I have no interest in seeing it, just because Tensai's character is boring. Yes, it might make people care about Tensai, but I think that they should make people care about Tensai first.
Also, as a rule, I absolutely hate it when the World Champion is booked like an underdog. I hate it. If he wasn't good enough to beat that guy, THEN HE SHOULDN'T BE THE WORLD FUCKING CHAMPION!!!
To make myself care about a storyline between Punk and Tensai, the only way I could see it being remotely interesting is if Tensai plays the role of Bane and Punk plays the role of Batman from Bane's debut comic where he broke Batman's back. Tensai would destroy Punk, and put him on the shelf as Punk contemplated retiring or going back to the indies, or whatever. Gertner would be pissing himself with excitement. Punk then returns and kicks Tensai in the head and it's on again. Punk manages to out-smart Tensai in their next match and wins the championship back. There's absolutely no reason that this cannot happen post-SummerSlam, though.
