Tensai returned with some decent hype, there were rumors that he was coming in as a henchman for Johnny Ace, but he didn't get over as planned and that was scrapped and he has become a huge jobber.
So the question is: Will Tensai ever become an upper level talent in the E or will he continue to languish for the rest of his run?

I'd say Languish.
As much as I hope a impressive Rumble showing will occur with him and put him back on track (heh... track...train...A-Train) I expect him to just be a quick and comedic elimination. Maybe straight in and clotheslined out by Kane.

I don't see why it has to be one (consistent wins over main event talent) or the other (losing every match) with the way WWE uses guys like Tesnai, Swagger, etc. Why can't Tensai be able to some matches?

If there were still jobber matches he'd get plenty of wins,

His future lies in an odd couple comedy duo with Brodus Clay.

Tensai has fallen pretty low, but I'd hate to see him get on track. Track addiction is a really hard thing to deal with.

He needs one more persona so that we can have the three faces of Matt Bloom.

A track to low card status.

You have to switch him to full on comedy character who can get it done in the ring. Pair him with Yoshi Tatsu, make him a lovable giant. Make Tatsu be a Japanese guy obsessed with America and Tensai be an American obsessed with japan. It writes itself. After a year or two once the fans accept Tensai as the lovable brute who watches over Yoshi have him turn heel. Bam midcard-upper mid monster heel.

I think Tensai getting on track might just ruin the Tensai gimmick.

Speaking of Kane continuity, I was rather annoyed last year when he wasn't in the rumble and ruining his consecutive rumble match streak.

He'll get eliminated in the rumble then come back later as Albert.
Maybe even the Hip Hop Hippo.
HIP HOP HIPPO!

Tensai was never meant to be huge. He was only there to be a Dragon for Cena or some other face to slay. He was going to fall eventually.

A Tensai / Santino comedy-but-competent team would be SO MONEY.

I glanced at the thread title and immediately misread it as "Will Tensai get on crack?" I had to look again.
Seriously though, I'd like them to do something with the guy that doesn't involve jobbing to all and sundry, even if his gimmick flopped.

They might be able to straighten it out, though he is never going to be anything near the level of what they were clearly planning for him, but really, I'd probably just cut him if I were WWE. I imagine he's more expensive than others on his level given the level he was brought in at and the fact that they got him in from elsewhere for it, and I doubt they're ever seeing a return on that investment.

I just wish they'd brought him in and let him be the destroyer he works best as.
That stupid, slow, methodical thing they gave him wasn't going to work.
Shame because I was really excited to see him back.
