Tensai Reportedly Deemed A Flop By WWE Officials, Possibly Being Repackaged

http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/Tensai_Reportedly_Deemed_A_Flop_By_WWE_Officials_Possibly_Being_Repackaged.html

Tensai failed to impress WWE officials in his pinfall victory over John Cena on the April 16 Raw SuperShow in London, England and was deemed "a flop" as a result. He was initially pegged to face Cena at the company's Over the Limit and No Way Out pay-per-view events but his poor showing in the main event match led to his push being curtailed and Big Show taking his place. WWE also canceled plans for summer live events to be headlined by Tensai and John Laurinaitis vs. Cena, instead replacing the former tattoo artist with Big Show.

Though Tensai has yet to be defeated on television, he suffered his first pinfall loss before a WWE crowd in a dark match following Monday's Raw SuperShow—to Cena. He is being largely relegated to WWE Superstars while his character is retooled. He has already undergone tweaks as he appeared sans robe, competed more aggressively and had his named modified within the past two weeks. More changes could be in the works as there was talk this past week of additional modifications.

So what do you think?

Is Tensai a flop?

Would you rather have Cena/Show or Cena/Tensai?

of course Tensai is going to flop...his sort of character isn't going to be relateable to north american crowd....maybe in japan yes but not in america.

He will be a flop because he will always be referred to as Albert and they had him be a jobber for long with no push. Then they want to try to make him unbeatable. I would hope they don't repackage him though cause it ain't gonna change unless they set him up with a comedy gimmick.

They should've just had him return as Albert. Regardless of how crap the wrestler was back in the day, coming from that era, they'd be guarenteed to get a reaction.

Hes a flop yet a piece of shit known as Brodus Clay is allowed to stick around

Brodus gets a reaction from the kids...Somehow

from who, the 3 kids in the front row?

I thought Tensi was doing a pretty good job so far but there should be a Chinese stable type like have him with yosi Tatsu and a couple of others he doesn't have to be in the main event.And For Brodus I only put up with him because Cameron is with him.

Tensai is japanese...and so is Tatsu

Ok then Japenese stable then it's not a big deal.

it actually is, as theyre 2 different nationalties

My biggest problem with the whole "Lord Tensai" character is the fact that well.. he's white. It just doesn't look right having a big white guy running around the ring using Japanese-type moves (the mist being the biggest one).

I think they should have just brought him back as Albert. Everyone knew it was him, there was clearly no way of hiding it.

He was in NJPW for several years, thats why they brought him back as a japanese character

The gimmick is a bigger flop than my attempt of posting this belly flop gif

I like the character, but it isn't going to work.
