Here'ss the thing. I like A-Train/Tensai. Anyone that has seen his stuff from the Land of the Rising Sun knows just how good and brutal he can be in the ring. But WWE, as with ANYONE and everyone, limits what a performer can do in the ring. Had WWE just let him go without limit and put a great manager as a voice piece (e.i. Heyman), Tensai would be main eventing right now. I loved the hell out of his work in Japan, and his current stuff is pale in comparison. He would not be main eventing. At no point in his career has he gotten over with a serious gimmick. It doesn't matter what you let him do, he won't get over.

I really wanted to like Tensai. I remember being excited for his re-debut when I found out about him returning since I liked his work as Giant Bernard in Japan. The reason the writers gave up on him quickly was because he was not getting over with the fans. I felt Tensai should have cut a promo right after his first match and say something, "Albert is dead, Tensai has arrived!" or something like that to kinda put a hold on the Albert chants, even though that might not have worked. The writers did everything to try and get him over. They had Tensai win cleanly against CM Punk and John Cena, the two top guys in the WWE, and he could not get over. He has talent for someone his size, but the guy failed to get over. The reason he's a lower card wrestler is not the writers fault, it's mostly Tensai's fault for not getting over.

I don't get why everyone is so hard on Tensai. I think he's pretty awesome and it sucks that he's been degraded to jobber status.

I would agree with Anvil Fan with this, but he got over in Japan. In the United States, Tensai/Albert/A-Train was not so over with the crowd. It's sad that Tensai in the lower card (hate saying jobber status), but Tensai is not over with the crowd. After beating Cena and Punk CLEAN, Vince and the writers expected him to be over and it did not work. I bet the writers though he would get over by beating Sakamoto up for losing to make Tensai into a monster and Sakamoto as sympathetic character, it did not work. At this point, I bet the writers have nothing for Tensai.

Tensai used to be a big deal but look at him, it is sad, pathetic really to see what he has become now and everything went downhill for him as soon as he lost his first match being back in WWE, because they could have built him up as a monster heel with an undefeated streak and then have him lose it in some way but Tensai should just switch gimmicks and re-debut as A-Train again, his only hope of being relevant again
