From this week's NXT, he joined Alex Riley and the other guy (I often forget which other guy is on the table) at the announce table. I think he didn't do such a bad job despite the commentary being a bit messy with it being a three man booth.

I don't watch NXT but Tensai was really good on that panel at whichever PPV it was. He should be one of the regulars on the panel since his insight was good, consice and entertaining plus it's not like Tons of Funk are gonna be in many PPV matches.

lol Alexy Riley.
Seriously though, I'm curious to see that. I've never thought of Tensai as being a good talker, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure I've heard him speak much.

Tensai impressed me on his PPV Panel, I remember thinking how much better Main Event would be with him and Josh Matthews on commentary every week. Or better yet, Tensai and Renee Young. The Dream Team Odd Couple of Commentary for the WWE of tomorrow!

Also, does anyone else NOT think it's weird that nobody calls him Albert anymore?? It's like Tensai or Sweet T has now become his official name, yet he's spent decades in WCW and WWF/E under the name 'Albert'. Guess... the Tensai gimmick has been...saved...?

WHAT, WWE, you think we're just gonna FORGET that he's ROYALTY from some mysterious foreign country where everyone has to get piercings?? Stop insulting our intelligence!!! I think there's hope for Tons of Funk, but eventually, it might serve the WWE well to have well-spoken veterans employed mostly to be on like expert panels contributing to commentary. |

Very well spoken. Would make a good commentator.

With some training I wouldn't mind Tensai becoming a "Gorilla Monsoon" type Play by Play guy.
Maybe if the booth was him and JBL, JBL wouldn't have to go on long shouting tirades.

(I mourn the loss of one of the better memes on this board's illustrious history) Was he ever in WCW? I think he went from Memphis to the WWF to Japan. He only showed up in TNA once cause he was in a tag match at a New Japan event with Tomko that had Angle and some other TNA guy in it. With that said, if the big baldo train is content with stopping at the announce booth, then good on him for finding a niche. Also, with JBL and Giant Bernard at the booth, I think your days of seeing wrestlers screwing with the commentators are over. You're not going to see another Triple H breaking Good Ole JR's arm scenario again unless they let it happens to Cole and they don't try to stop him. |

He seemed to have done his research which immediately puts him ahead of Riley.
Even worse I believe it was Riley who took the piss out of him for doing the research even though that should be part of a commentators job.

Seriously if A-train and JbL were at the booth and a young cocky heel pissed them off
I just want to see that happen now
Avalanches, powerbombs, train wreck, and clothesline from hell

Even worse I believe it was Riley who took the piss out of him for doing the research even though that should be part of a commentators job. Can we just replace Riley on commentary with Tensai? There's just no upside to it unless they plan on making Riley and Miz into a duo at some point or segueing into an in ring program for Riley. Tensai is pretty up there and years of the stiff puro style has probably done a number on him. Riley sucks ass as a commentator, but still has potential to improve as a wrestler. So drop this failed experiment and let A-Ry get back to doing something he's decent at. The worst part is I can't even be mad at Riley. I kind of feel bad for him. I feel like WWE is actively trying to turn people on him by overexposing his suck to the world. Tensai is doing commentary as a reward for doing good on the panel while Riley is basically getting the commentary equivalent of being Ryder'd and it sucks. |
