With a lot of Tensai's on-screen heat revolving around his abuse of Sakamoto and Sakamoto's character development thus far amounting to standing by his man Tensai no matter badly mistreated,

it is getting pretty close to the Marc Mero-Sable dynamic of late 1997 - mid 1998. The primary differences in this scenario are that both dramatic persona are men, Sakamoto doesn't walk around topless in painted-on patsies, and Tensai didn't say, "Sa(ble)-kamoto, disrobe me!" when Sakamoto has removed Tensai's robe in the ring.
Where do you think WWE are headed with the Tensai-Sakamoto man-servant abuse angle? Unless WWE do something dramatic with Sakamoto, I don't see him as breaking out as a huge babyface in act of defiance against Tensai. I think they are building towards Tensai pretty much stuffing Sakamoto in the fridge like Kane did with Paul Bearer. Your thoughts?
