Teamed him up with Tomko and they won the TNA Tag belts, would people be... A) Upset? B) Filled with joy? C) Filled with apathy?

I'd mark out. I love Bernard. His scissors kick was lethal and he had some great moves.
Plus based on a video I saw a while back ("hey, I just shaved this yesterday!") he's funny too.

I would be into it, but it would take some good booking to have the smaller TNA talent look credible against that team.

I'd love it, personally. Giant Bernard, unlike that "A-Train" guy that was in the WWE, doesn't suck. He'll never put on any five-star classics or anything, but for a big man, he's great. It's a shame that the Internet will only see them as "WWE rejects" and never give them a real chance to accomplish anything.

He was actually one of my favorites during his WWE run. I'd be all for a return to American wrestling for him!

I'd mark.
I'd mark harder for Triple X and harder still for MCMG winning the gold.
But TNA could, and probably will, do worse than Giant Bernard and Tomko. They're two great wrestlers who never got the chance to be anything more than hosses in the WWE.
As long as they called him Giant Bernard and made him out to be "a huge star from Japan". No "formerly known as A-Train/Albert/Prince Albert/Da Hip-Hop Hippo". Oh, while I'm dreaming I'd like Nora Greenwald to give me a back rub.

I've heard good things about his work in Japan, so I'd probably give him a chance.
Well, I would if I bothered to watch TNA anymore, anyway...

Awesome moveset, good on the mic, great look, and just awesome in the ring.
I'd love for BLACK to invade TNA as Bernard/Tomko are absolutely the best heavyweight tag team in japan right now.
You don't think their look is marketable? You're a moron.
i'd like this team, if A-train looked huge in WWE he'll look gigantic in TNA, and I'd love for the Tomko/Bernard team to happen.

I wouldn't mind it but I wouldn't mark for it. Anything's better than Team Pacman and Angle/Sting.

But 94% of the audience will look at it and say "Look, two WWE rejects are 15x better then the best talent TNA could find on their own."

It would be good, because it would be another great tag team in TNA and bringing in the IWGP Tag Team Champions could bring some credibility to it.
Plus, I think it would be some good angles if the monster team of Bernard and Tomko were heels against guys like LAX or MCMG, and have that David vs Goliath type of deal. I know it's been done a lot, but it would be pretty good. And Tomko/Bernard can keep up with the smaller guys too, so why not.

The only people that would mark are the fans who love Puro and have seen them in Japan.
The others will either not know them or look at them as WWE rejects.
If TNA would want to do it, they need to build them up as a monster team from Japan and then have them slowly destroy and dominate all the opponents in the tag division like a modern day LOD.
