​

This video was played on RAW tonight introducing us to a new character Lord Tensai. The person behind the gimmick is A-Train/Albert/Giant Bernard who it was reported last week had signed with the company again. I like this promo as it is very unique and it is smart to give him a new gimmick since it has been a long time since he was last in WWE and he was never a massive star before so they may as well try something new. He is a big guy with a heap of tats and apparently he will be going right after Cena when he debuts so I look forward to seeing what WWE do with him.

Should be interesting, I watch NJPW a bit and have seen his tag work. He isn't that bad at all, very strong on power moves.

He could work a few good matches... It's almost like WWE is telling me that MVP could return seeing Tajiri will later this year.

Either way I do expect some strong WWE Signings this year and A-Train coming back should be good.

I get you can't call him Prince Albert, but I don't really see him being able to pull off what I have in my head for this gimmick. I mean the name provokes some imagery and non of it meshes in my mind with Albert.

Also for the sake of every wrestler I hope he's shaved this thing.

 

[AZUCAR!]

I never knew he had his head tattooed.

Anyways, interesting looking character and i'll be looking forward to his return.

First person I thought of was Hakushi Then my better judgement kicked in and I knew who it was.

 

[Andrew]

It looked like paint with that head tattoo...

Either way, I look forward to see what he can deliver.

I knew this was him as soon as I seen the video start since the recent reports indicated he was returning and I knew of his Japan experience and the tattoos instantly. I was a fan of A-Train back on SmackDown years ago and he had a good look and his size helped it as well. Weird that they're gonna have an American play a Japanese kind of guy with a Japanese name but I'm sure it will work if he is pushed. A feud against John Cena will be good and I'm sure they'll make him look strong a couple times. Can't wait! Will he return the night after Mania?

 

[The New F'n Show]

I'm thinking night after Mania, much like Umaga a few years back. Interested to see where this gimmick goes and what brought this character in.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Ill never forget when Brock Lesnar nearly basically ended his life on an F5. He fell literally close to his head but A-Train can go as a big man. He reminds me of a less heavier version of Umaga so I'm excited.

Now that is a blast from the past. Looks to be a similar type gimmick where he is completely covered in tattoos. A-Train's wrestling has improved a lot in Japan so I have high expectations of his return to WWE. He is someone that I never thought would come back but I am glad that we are seeing him back with a different gimmick.

 

[Chris]

Yay! Someone got my reference! I really am hyped for this though, was always such a big fan of Bloom. Never thoughts I'd be so hyped for nothing more than a mid-carder returning, but this was a great pickup by WWE.

 

[Defiant]

Don't even need Brodus Clay anymore.

 

[Heisenberg]

Well, there's clear proof even though we already knew.

 

[JMobile]

Don't even need Brodus Clay anymore.

A feud???

 

[The Cork]

Name leaves a lot to be desired but it's WWE so thats to be expected.

Glad he's back, thinking he'll destroy some poor guy night after Mania just like Lesnar.
