I liked it, should have debuted him on Smackdown though to avoid the being undershadowed by Brock, plus Smackdown need all the help they can get.

Am I the only one that wants to see a Tensai/Brodus match?
If just to give Brodus an experienced big man to work with?

Established him as a monster...but far from the most successful of returns when the hottest crowd of the year is actually silent for part of your match. Should've sped it up so and probably cut out one of the corner maulings (Headbutts, perhaps?) I would have cut out the headbutts. Corner headbutts just kinda slow things down for me and I much preferred the elbows in the corner since Riley made them look like they knocked him loopy. |

He's already dead in the water, if that hot crowd was dead for him after "oh wow its Albert pop" then lesser crowds will be nothing but crickets. I would Imagine he will get repackaged rather quickly after a few more weeks of people not caring about him.

Man some people have really selective hearing when it comes to the crowds. my bad...I meant same reaction from me. I never liked A-train. He didnt impress me at all tonight. But its only one match. Im pretty open minded, maybe he can get a good push. is he heel or face? |

It's not like A-Train was all that big of a deal in his last run and most WWE fans don't follow Japan wrestling. It's like some people expected Brock Lesnar like pops for his return. The fact that he got a reaction at all is a good start. At least give him a few weeks before writing him off.

Search YT for Lord Tensai makes his debut in WWE mrBBaller128 and listen to how much people could have cared less after the first welcome back chant.

The crowed was up all night, and the quietest moment of the night was half way through that match. They went from jubilant, to quiet(ish) very quick |

I kinda like it. He doesn't have to be the broken english speaking japanese guy with this gimmick. He can just be a guy that came from japan and has adopted some wrestling culture there.
He can go out and cut a promo in english and it will be fine. In fact he could say in his promo that he was A train and then wrestled in japan and it would be fine.

Of course the crowd didn't give a damn.
He's not Daniel Bryan.

People were into him killing Riley the entire time. I honestly have no idea where some people come to their conclusions. They've got to be only half paying attention to the TV. |

You might want to go watch it again, they didn't care one bit. After the match you could literally hear and see the one person making any noise. He was in the front row under the WWE logo. |

There was a very brief "Riley" chant, and that was it. |

I don't mean to offend. But I'm I the only one who felt a "Oh he's white?" vibe from the crowd?
