Nothing makes someone look more ridiculous than Cole bringing everyone's attention to the 'tattoos' covering your face...only for them to be wiping off because they're as permanent as a New Year Resolution.
So, will the Tensai gimmick survive such an obvious lie that even the most belief suspending fan will catch?

They don't call him Michael Troll for nothing.

Thats not gonna "kill" the gimmick, but there will be a point where he has to come down from the gimmick cloud and be a little more realistic.

Somehow all the things that could ruin him will all cancel each other out and Lord Tensai will lead WWE into a boom period the likes of which has never been seen before.

The gimmick is already ruined.

I didn't think they called them tattoos though. Said it was something japanese fans did or some sort of that fanship.

Did not ruin Hakushi when his writing faded in matches...

The writing on the head is the worst part of the gimmick. He could do without that easily, and avoid the embarrassment of his "tattoos" rubbing off on his helmet.
Beating Cena tonight was big for him, I don't think the gimmick can be ruined for the foreseeable future.

He's too... bulky. In a bad way. I know it's nice to see a natural physique, but his arms jut out at weird angles, and sometimes he kind of waddles around trying to get up after performing a big move.
Frankly, I thought he was going to job to "intense" Cena tonight and never be seen again. But quite the opposite happened. And Sakamoto's kicks looked GOOD.

I seem to remember him just calling them characters, not tattoos.

Karate hands movements and poses!
That's the only thing bugging me about it. Face paint tats rubbing off doesn't even strike me as odd.

Seems like the "Will something ruin Lord Tensai?" thread is going to be a weekly occurance

One of the commentators definitely said the characters were tattooed on. I remember that because the next thing I noticed was a couple characters smudged near Tensai's eye.

Actually, It think this is an example of Cole screwing up. I've always viewed them not as tattoos, but as calligraphy. In one of the early vignettes, didn't it show them being painted on?

No no, the characters on his face are just drawn on. What Cole was talking about was the tattoos on his skull, and they're clearly not visible.

What's going to ruin Tensai is his bad knees. Dude has more trouble getting up than anyone on the roster, including Kane.

Speaking of the...I guess it would be Kanji on his face?? I did notice a quick "jab" that MVP sent to him over Twitter. He mentioned on a Sunday the week after his debut something about Tensai having to go to makeup and have writing put on early. I mentioned that Tensai should sneak in a dirty phrase soon...see if anyone catches it!!

Screw seeing Camacho wrestle, I want to see Sakamoto. Those were some fierce looking kicks on the outside.
Yoshi might want to watch himself...
