...Yeah. Well, you know...it was...and...well...the only thing the crowd didn't care about all night was Lord Tensai. I mean, it wasn't bad or anything, and it made him look like a monster, but Brock f***ing Lesnar returned.
I predict him and his henchman will be fighting for the tag titles on Superstars by the end of May.

Well, what do you think? I am glad he is not disco dancing like Funkasaurus. He was impressive and it was a more intimidating performance than I remember from the A Train days. I never watched any of his Giant Bernard matches. The costume seems a bit dated (mid 90s WWF) and I think he would be more believable without this. Still, excited to see what he will do.
Thoughts?

They should have held out on Tensai's return until next week. He will be forgotten now

That was a great debut, the KO gimmick is the best for introducing monsters like him.

A-Train and Brock Lesnar appeared on WWE television in 2012. Who'da thunk it?

This was the lowest part of RAW and even this was still pretty damn good. I think he'll be fine. They just gimmick'd him up a tad too much. Tone it down a little, give him some better music, and he'll be golden.

I got to see the Baldo Bomb on Raw again. All is well in the world, though I do wish Test were still around.

He was made to look like a threat, so I think they succeeded on that front. I like how they at least acknowledged he was once in the WWE before.

The low point for me as well in an overall great Raw.
It wasn't bad or anything, just wasn't as electric as everything else going on.
However let me say I did greatly dislike his "karate hand" type movements he did a couple times. Works for steamboat, not Albert.

I was happy to see him, but that was underwhelming

The crowd didn't care about him? There were a bunch of "Welcome back" and "A-Train" chants. It took a few weeks for people to warm up to the Funkasaurus too. It definitely could have been better, but I think given the circumstances it went pretty well. Also, Alex Riley.

I will say that his Butterfly Suplex was a f***ing MONSTER of a move.

The match should have been quicker. It went on a bit long, and the crowd was starting to get into Daniel Bryan. I thought it was good. I wish they would focus more on his past, saying he came into WWE as a young up start, and now he's a veteran and has harnessed his power and ability to what it is today.

They should have held out on Tensai's return until next week. He will be forgotten now With those two, and The Rock and John Cena all on the same show, you would swear that it was 2002/2003 all over again.

It works. Now that Brodus has a feud they need someone new to destroy all the lower card talent and prevent a midcard from reforming so it works.
Honestly it was meh.

I thought it was fine, though he needs a new theme BADLY. That one just stinks

They really should have just let him go out there and destroy Riley with all of his big moves, and not just the Baldo Bomb.

He was badass, but they might as well draft him to Smackdown now, because their roster could use another major force like him. Plus no one's going to buy him as the man to fear on Raw with Brock/Punk/Cena all running around at the same time.

I'm giving it more time than the 3 minutes he was out there tonight before calling it a failure. I have high hopes for this. Me being a massive Giant Bernard fan and all that. Seriously, his time in Japan owned hard.
