I found this on Tumblr speaking about Tensai
"2012 Grade: F
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, he’s crap. Seriously crap. Arrived as a ‘big deal’ and feuded with Cena….and lost. Then he started losing to everyone. Fans constantly chant “Albert” during his matches and it’s the only kind of reaction he ever gets. No one cares. His gimmick is a big guy who trained in Japan? He’s so awful. He’s a poor man’s Umaga
2013 Prediction: The Job Centre"
Is this the general consensus of everybody because I sure like that guy and was a huge fan of his back in the Albert days as well. When I heard he was coming back I marked out. I still think he can bring a lot to the table. I love his move set, and still think he can be a tremendous talent. Just take a look at the match when Sheamus on Smackdown he had a few months back. It was probably one of my favorite matches I have seen 2012.
I know people were saying he sandbagged some guys, but was that his fault? Is this why he sucks?

I've disliked him since the Albert days for being slow and boring. Not someone I find entertaining.

I like him. Not as much as I liked him as A-Train but still.

He looks badass and has always been capable in the ring.

I don't think he sucks persay, but he was terribly miscast when he first showed up. They took away his strengths and turned him into just another boring plodding monster.
I think he's still trying to recover from that poor first impression. He's shown flashes of brilliance, especially his matches with Sheamus, but sadly I don't think he'll be able to drag himself back out of the pit of bad booking he's found himself in.

I'm not gonna say he sucks flat-out, but I kinda have to agree with the "poor man's Umaga" sentiment.

I think he's fat and useless. He sucked as Albert, and he's even more bland and lame as Tensai.

His matches with Sheamus this year are fantastic. I actually like the guy, even when he was wearing the goofy entrance gear and did the green mist in every match. Still, if crowd is gonna crap on you every match, then you're not going to get far.

Because people have differing opinions.
I've always thought Matt Bloom was brilliant, but people will always dislike wrestlers I like and vice versa. It's the way it is.

Didn't he actually beat Cena, not the other way around?

I thought he was boring in the WWE previously, AND he was boring in Japan, and he's still boring now.

I really thought when WWE brought him back in we were going to see him get a big push. Given his level of stardom in Japan as Giant Bernard I assume they must be paying him very well, so it seems very strange on every level the way that they have used him since signing him.
He did indeed have an early victory over John Cena, but since then he has pretty consistently jobbed to all in sundry - with recent losses to the likes of Santino clearly the low ebb. He is clearly on his way out the door unfortunately, but sure he will be welcome back in Japan.
I get the sense he was originally intended to play the role the Big Show played in the whole John Laurenitis saga, but for whatever reason the office ditched the idea. Could be he just was not getting over, could be the ALBERT chants or it could be some poor in ring performances.
He also did appear to sandbag Ryback in one of their matches, which whether he did or not I think hurt his chances of resurrecting this run in WWE irreparably. Maybe he also has an attitude or a perceived attitude back stage? Not basing that on anything it is just a possibility that might explain some of the booking oddities.
Whatever the reasons, WWE and Tensai just do not appear to be able to gel, he has been horribly booked and his in ring work has suffered as a result. His heart is not in it - and for that reason when the future endeavour inevitably comes it will be best for both parties.

He's one of my favourites. He's got a great hard-hitting style and it's a shame WWE dropped the ball on his debut by having him appear as what is essentially a cartoon character. The slow, methodical (I.e; boring) wrestling he used on his debut didn't help matters either.

If your only exposure to Albert is through his recent David Carradine gimmick and, until recently, plodding "offense," of course you're gonna think he sucks. I thought the same about s-s-stuttering Matt Morgan, until he stopped stuttering and started putting on hella matches in TNA - what he wasn't able to do in the WWE.
