Will Brodus save the Lord Tensai character?

[Lance Uppercut]

I think they could make a fun tag team.

Tensai can carry the workload, and Brodus can carry the charisma. Plus they're both huge. Could be unstoppable.

[Mike Wooster]

It can only help both of them, really.

[Hit Girl]

The only thing that will save Tensai is for him to say "I'm not Tensai, I'm Albert, the Hip Hop Hippo" and then team up with Brodus from now on, until his/their inevitable release from the company. It's making the best of a bad situation. But the Tensai gimmick has to go, and represents yet another bewilderingly stupid effort from WWE creative.

I hope not. It will never change, but I hate WWE's 'fat people do ostensibly funny things' take on comedy, so I wouldn't be excited for it.

Then again, WWE barely gets their humor right.

The most recent time they were actually witty was Kane's confession in group therapy. Usually it's toilet humour, or beating the audience over the head with something stupid.

Damn, this monster heel isn't working? What can we do?

Let's make him a dancing fool, 'cos it's just so damn hilarious every single f***ing time.

See: Mark Henry, Big Show, Brodus, Albert, Viscera, Great Khali..

Repeat to fade. Forever and ever, amen.

I actually chuckle at Team Hell No's stuff most of the time or at least grin and Rock's stuff works because of his charisma but one of my not at all unreasonable wishes with WWE is that they target grade-school students just a little less. Do more of what they did in that 'Soup' episode - clever, character-based humor. You read some of the wrestlers' tweets and it's funnier than those in charge allow them to be.

Out of curiosity, is it because you're fat or because the concept of fat=funny is stale. I'm fat but never play the Fat & Offended card (because I know what I need to do to not be fat, I just don't do it by choice, and other fatties have no right to complain), moreover, fat humor is just old and stale.

[Corporate H]

No, he's gonna ruin it, because Brodus Clay is a ruiner.

[Push R Truth]

I'd argue Tensai is already saved.


He accomplished more character wise in about 30 seconds on Monday than he did since his return.

[BigWill]

Lord Tensai's been dead for months now. Why can't this meme die with it?

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I like Brodus and Tensai so I'm all for this team. Instead of been just two fat guys who dance though, they should make them a bit like Head Cheese with Brodus constantly coming up with new ways for Tensai to loosen up and have fun and Tensai looking irritated by it but reluctantly going along.

It's old and stale. I'm actually a scrawny dude in a wheelchair, so I'm not taking offense or anything.

I could see situations where having a character cross-dress might be funny. Sandow, maybe, because he's such a snob. With Tensai, it was just their usual schtick.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

it'll work, butonly if he goes back to being the Hip-Hop Hippo. that gimmick's tailor made to team with Brodus.

[Talent Name]

He will if he becomes Lord of the Dance Tensai

Because this thread might actually be onto something.

[Deleted]

Only if he dances to J-Pop.

[Deleted]

If I hear DDR music, I will die a happy man

[Lance Uppercut]

I say less Hip Hop Hippo, more Head Cheese.

[thelonewolf527]

I hope they team up and eventually Tensai gets Brodus to go monster again and they form a destructive tag team
