They're just going to take him off TV and allow him time to round up some Japanese wrestlers to invade the WWE.

Seems to be (sort of) what they had planned for him to begin with, just being imposing dumb muscle for Big Johnny... likely why Super Dave kept mentioning his accomplishments in Japan, somehow hoping that translated into Tensai being a bigger deal. But instead, the XL quote above could salvage that, factor into the "voice of the voice of the voiceless", give him something to do, present him as a "bouncer" to stave off Ryback for a bit, etc, etc... In short, it could only help Giant Bernard than let him mire in jobber hell until being future endeavored. |

I don't know, I've just been unimpressed by his return. I would say stick him and Sakamdo (I think that's how it's spelled) as a tag team.... or they can just release both of them. There's a few bigger, younger, possibily more marketable stars in developmental.

Nah I think it's just the fallout of the comments he made and this is how they are punishing him plus they wanted Ryback to look really good for when he faces CM Punk now if he jobs to the likes of a Trent Barretta on nXt then I could say that his run is pretty much over.

I was bored by the Tensai character, and still am, really. Since he's been back, Tensai's performances have actually gotten pretty great. He's a fantastic big man to put over mid-carders and make them look great in the process, as Gertner said. I never wanted to see the dude get a WWE Title push out the gate, nor did anyone really, so why are we complaining when he has fallen short of that goal?
Tensai can easily be built up with wins over guys like Alex Riley, Santino Marella and Zack Ryder on Superstars before he uses that regained credibility to put over a Ryback or a Brodus Clay -- a babyface that has a chance of moving some merchandise and getting to that next stage. That being said, I think Tensai needs a chance to explain his motivations a bit more. Having him come out looking angry with a Japanese dude he beats up might appeal to the "Fifty Shades of Grey" crowd, but it's not going to do much to make people really care about him long-term. It makes me question how much heat a babyface gets from actually beating Tensai, beyond overcoming his size. I would love to see Christian work with Tensai, actually, given the size difference between the two. But as someone said -- given that Albert's transformation into "A-Train" was due to Heyman, and with Survivor Series approaching, I wouldn't mind it if Heyman put together an alliance of the dangerous variety to battle some top faces in the WWE. He'd work great as random muscle for a multi-man main event. In the meantime, Tensai's pride could be damaged by his loss to Ryback. I really don't think that Ryback would make a great Intercontinental Champion just yet, so I guess you could have Tensai attack Ryback during his eventual IC Title match against The Miz, keeping Ryback's streak intact, but moving away from Miz vs. Ryback. |

He needs to use that shoulder backbreaker as a finish, instead of the baldo bomb.

He's been using the De-Railer to set up for a Senton. I would normally hate the Senton as a finish, but given that he uses a big move to set it up, I don't care nearly as much. The Train Wreck was awesome, though. He used it once against Tyson Kidd, but I can't remember another instance.

Random thought, what would you think about a Tensai and Drew McIntyre tag team? Maybe it could be a random pairing that works (kinda like Yoko and Owen)

Maybe WWE will shed light on how Tensai manages to shave all of his massive back. Does Sakamoto shave the hard-to-reach areas like between the shoulder blades?

And Shisen earns his first rep star! Congrats! If it makes you feel any better, then pretend my cheese cube is a fecal brick sculpted and painted yellow.
![]() Returning to the thread topic, it seems that with Tensai off RAW this week, I guess he'll be on Superstars or even Saturday Slam considering his finishing moves do not target the head or neck. |

Thank you, DTTS! I just might do that if given enough rep by January 5, 2013 (to allow for off-forum days on holidays), let's say one block shy of a star!

Tensai should be fired for making RYBACK look bad with that move.
