Lord Tensai has arrived on the scene and already has a victory over the great John Cena.
Who would have thought?
It seems the WWE is trying hard to ensure this new acquisition is to be taken very seriously. But can he really be made into a monster? After all, Lord Tensai is nothing more than another persona of Matt Bloom, who is formerly known as Albert or A-Train.
Back in the day, he may have been an Intercontinental Champion and paired with the lovely Trish Stratus, but he was hardly ever anything special.
On a personal note, that body hair was absolutely revolting to see, and I can't believe he was allowed to keep it all that time.
Now, I am all about giving someone a chance and upon watching the promotional vignettes of this new arrival, I figured this must be someone very interesting.
A top "heel" or villain is supposed to be someone who draws out all the heat from the crowd. Someone who you just cannot stand or hate beyond anything else in the world. WWE clearly had its share of most hated people.
Take Triple H, Vickie Guerrero and recently Miz and Jericho (who draw out immense heat at live shows). These are characters who just know how to play you so well that you just want to kill them!
Every time "The Cougar" yells "Excuse Me!" it is incredible how much reaction she gets from people in attendance. THAT is a true villain...and she is great, I love her!
The difference here with Lord Tensai is, everyone knows he was Albert...nobody ever cared about Albert right? So why now?
He hardly gets a reaction from the fans when he is in the ring and like many villains in the past, he cheated his way to a victory over Cena, so there is hardly anything to be proud of. I get the feeling he has "Go Away!" written all over him and it is only a matter of time before he is relegated to Superstars.
Then, who is the top "heel" of this company you ask? Very easy...BROCK LESNAR!
Now, there's a hated person. His arrogance, his vanity and his outrageous demands are perfectly allowing him to be showered with hate, and he loves it. He knows he is a beast and he knows how to push people's buttons. No fancy costume, no sidekick...just raw skill and power.
It is still early enough to see where this "Lord Tensai" is going and what he is capable of. However, after three weeks now, he is not interesting and judging from readers/writers feedback all over the Internet, I do not see anything special with this one.
No your lordship, I do not believe in you and like a ghost, you will simply fade away and be sent to the island of lost Superstars.
Here, allow me to personally hand you a one-way ticket. I appreciate the effort.
