Did Vince think nobody would recognize him?
>>19762148Most of the WWE fans dont watch Japanese wrestling so Lord Tensai
>>19762148If this was the early 90s he would've been able to be gone for 3 months and no one would have remembered him.
>>19762159was new to them
>>19762148Did Bishoff think nobody would recognize him?
>>19762417I didnt recognise him when he was The Disciple
>>19762148Vince unironically has no respect for e-drones and thinks they’re all sub-70 IQ. So yes
>>19762148Tensai was canonically Albert though, right? I’m pretty sure they did explain it in his vignettes. Albert went to Japan and train and became Tensai. Or am I making that up
>>19762148No, it's about the new character not the guy who plays it. He overestimated how dumb and petty the audience is
>>19762148>did the guy who booked fake Diesel and Razor think anyone would recognize A-Train
fucking suzuki drove over his head he woke up thinking hes a nip
>>19762920Nah, that fits with what I remember. Albert should have stayed in Japan though.
Albert posted a AMA on /b/ right before this run. Started out anon but someone guessed it was him and he bailed.
>>19762148>>19762148Why did he bully Stevie Richards
>>19762148>lord tensnake
>>19762148it was a rib on him for leaving to go work NJPW.
>>19763178>>lord tensnakewho?
>>19763425was wondering if there were fellow /sp/ oldfags around
>>19763432remember naked Big show guy
>>19762148For me, it's expecting him to wrestle a match with his eyes closed to sell the gimmick
>>19762148he pinned cena and punk in 2012, that already makes him an hd era legend
>>19762920I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong.
>>19762920I dont think they explained it in vignettes, IIRC it was after the debut him and the crown loudly chanted Albert for the whole match they had Michael Cole make some throwaway comment about he Tensai used to wrestle for WWE but went and studied in Japan and thats why he's a a weeb now.
