Lord Tensai

[The Cork]

Wonder if they'll acknowledge that he was A-Train before or be like "omg thats gotta be.....thats gotta be LORD TENSAI, KING OMFG" and pretend hes a brand new guy.

Not saying either is better, as he wasnt that big a star and a name change is done easy enough.

 

[Troy]

I hope that they don't mention who he used to be. If they say that he was previously Albert/A-Train about five guys in the crowd will cheer that and then there will be silence. He wasn't a big enough star and it has been too long since he was in WWE for fans to remember who he was. Much better to treat him as a completely new character. I personally am really looking forward to this and I hope that he has more success in this run than he had last time in WWE.

lord tensai debuts looks old and unimpressive.

judging by his look and performance albert still sucks and wont be an impact player this time around.

 

[The Cork]

I'd say he was fatter than his last run.

Dont think he looked old, and it was just a short squash so no real time to look impressive.

Plus, Lesnar returned on the same show, poor guy is already forgot about.

dude, it's not his fault wwe limited him to play the classic big man gimmick. if wwe allowed him to do what he does best he would amaze you, especially if you followed him in japan.....

 

[John McHenry]

I was really expecting to see something different but for the most part very similar to any big man. I thought that Cole and Lawler killed his story. Flat out saying that he was "in the wwe years ago. Went overseas and has really made an impact in Japan" then they go on to tell us the definition of his tats even though this was supposedly the first time they'd seen him since his return. I expected the character to mean something at this point it seems like he'll be where he was when he left.

which is why i dont see anything for him in this run.wwe have already made him brodus clay without any charisma and 15 years older.

So is there a video out of his debut from tonight? I missed it.

 

[Prodigy]

Having him return the way he did, squashing a jobber no one cares about anymore kinda sucked.

Lord Tensai knows how to wrestle compared to Brodus "squash match" Clay. first off especially since he's been in japan working his ass off. 2nd'ly you are terrible chefboyardee at any comprehensive though let alone to blow off a potential great man in wrestling. DDP didn't start wrestling until he was in his 30's so the fact that WWE is giving Albert another chance to shine and he is taking it seriously is obviously a great decision.

Albert got a squash match yes, but compare it to the other big men who do. Vladmir, Festus, Brodus. They get like 2 mins to show off their limited skillset, and 'Lord Tensai' gets ateast 5 full mins of offense. Especially when I assumed he hit his finisher he kept throwing out more damage and also he hit the "Bongo Bomb" (his old finisher) and this new one after the match.

It may have gotten alittle over shadowed with lesnar returning in the same show but that shouldn't matter to someone who actually pays attention to the whole show.

well it was a squash so couldn't really tell anything... but it wasn't anything bad though. It was decent.

 

[Heisenberg]

chefboyardee you always seem to shit on him. It's his first match back and was a squash. Give your comments when he does a full proper match against someone credible.

 

[Tapout]

I hope they use him like Umaga. I miss having a big credible guy around that isn't the Big Show.

I like how he showed off a lot of moves. I just hope those aren't all of them.

 

[AF.]

It was an enjoyable squash. Lasted more than 2 minutes which was nice. Also reminded me of Umaga whom I was a huge fan of.

Just hope he can avoid Cena for a few months.
