What do you think of Lord Tensai's debut/gimmick so far?

I think his debut has been pretty impactful as of yet. Then again, so has the debut of every other billed monster that has walked down the ramp. I can't say I am convinced that this will last past his first feud.

I don't see the point in his Japanese manager. We all know A-Train understands English, so he's not a translator. He doesn't seem to have the vibrant personality of Vicki Guerrero, the presence of Paul Bearer, or the mic skills of Ricardo Rodriguez. These are all of course assumptions this early on, but my first impression is already made after 2 appearances and a stale performance.

I couldn't find any promos whatsoever on Youtube to base my opinion of Albert/A-Train's mic skills on so that is yet to be determined.

I am concerned as to where his gimmick is going to go, however, when he eventually becomes human. Right now it is an unbeatable big guy from Japan. Then again, Sheamus used to be an unbeatable guy from Ireland, but I can already tell we are dealing with 2 very different personalities.

Anyone else see a brighter future?

He's a follower. If I remember correctly.

For now he has zero personality, thats by design.

He will be doing Funkasaurus squash matches for a bit.

He just isn't used to working wwe match styles yet

He's a big guy who can work to a decent standard, the gimmick is decent as the man who couldn't make an impact in the WWE so went to Japan honed his craft, destroyed all in his path and is treated as a deity over there. Is it cartoonish ? Yes, but it's got potential. People have been crying out for a monster to fill Umaga's void and he could be the one to do.

I enjoy watching him wrestle as he's a believable monster, but the man can't and won't get over unless he has a very good manager. He's had zero reactions so far, but I'm a fan of his. He reminds me of Umaga (Xanth completely stole that from me), obviously not as good but it's something we all wanted.

Yeah they're going for the "he beats them too bad to finish match" thing, but it's pretty stupid. Especially when only 2 weeks ago we had matches at WM where they were practically dead, IE, Taker and HHH. I hate hypocrisy, even if it's kayfabe. Just make it so the wrestlers wrestling him walk out or something.

Completely different situations, Undertaker has always been billed as one of the most resilient wrestlers and at WM he finds that other gear, same as HHH pushing to end the streak. These guys have nothing to fight for so it's kind of realistic that the ref stops it before they get seriously hurt. Take MMA for example a title fight usually is more relaxed when it comes to letting fighters fight than a regular opener.
