Lord Tensai, A-Train, Prince Albert, I always believed Albert was wasted talent, and I couldn't help but notice he's back on Superstars and falling down the drains, again. There's people who think he's garbage, to me he has potential to really utilize his gimmick, and main-event matches. I think he needs a push, anyone else? He's not in his prime, but that shouldn't stop WWE from using him.

Tensai is a good wrestler saddled with a bad gimmick. Just have him ditch the Tensai gimmick and have him start using his "real name". He could be called "Albert Bernard" or "Bernard Albert". It ties to his past and fits with the whole "name generator" that WWE seems to be infamous for

I do agree that he could be a decent talent if the awful gimmick was dropped. He gets no reaction from the crowd, ever. I wouldn't even care if he used the A-Train name, just have him be normal Albert again. Tensai is a horrible gimmick.

Gimmick might be improved, but he needs to be noticed. He has talent, but the crowd doesn't care about him and only care about who they really know.

Nope. Fucking awful wrestler and all around talent, plus he's 40, past the point of making a push worth it, we need NEW stars, and even though it's not that important, completely unover to the worst level imaginable.

Wouldn't exactly say he's an awful wrestler. He's a better wrestler then Sheamus being a big-man and he has to tone down his potential, just watch some of Tensai's matches in Japan.

He's pretty good in the ring. Also during his first run in the WWE, he was very good. Now I don't really care for him, never did really but he was pretty good back in 2001.

This. And what's up with all these Tensai sympathy threads lately? A month ago he was the most hated guy among the IWC and rightfully so. His gimmick has flopped so bad and I can't see him going anywhere now.

Never could get into the Tensai gimmick and never was a huge fan of the man himself. Thought he was okay and could do decently well in the mid card. But I'm not really that upset that he pushed down to Superstars. Now a days I think the guy would be better off as a trainer, road agent or even going back to Japan (where more people seemed to like him).

I hate Sheamus, but that's just flat out insulting. He's not THAT bad. Depending on who he wrestles, if they're top level, he can have a great match. If they're not, then, eh, but no, he's not Tensai bad. Not by a long shot. If he was so damn good, Big Show of all people wouldn't have gotten his monster push.

Also, he's not in Japan, he's here. That excuse needs to die. He has to be good here, because he's HERE, not Japan. And I watched a few Japanese matches and he didn't seem any different, slow and dull as ever.

And frankly, this excuse of wrestlers being "toned down" needs to stop. A good wrestler can make any situation work. Daniel Bryan is toned down too and you don't see his matches sucking ass.

Tensai's a pretty forgettable character/gimmick. It worked for a while until it didn't.

A-Train was wasted from the get-go. Albert was a pretty forgettable character/gimmick, too.

WWE just doesn't know what to do with this particular wrestler. At this pace, the guy behind Tensai will go down in history as another one of "many faces of [insert person here]." At this rate, he's the next generation Mick Foley.

Lol yeah, because he should put over as many people as he can. This guy in no way deserves a push. He hasn't once said a word since being in the WWE(as lord tensai) he is ok in the ring nothing great. His gimmick is beyond awful, but have him put over as many people as he can, because atleast it can help someone because he is still a heel, that some take serious.

Tensai is a great big man powerhouse type wrestler, but the fact that he's had numerous gimmicks in the past have exposed this Tensai gimmick as a huge risk, and ultimately it hasn't quite paid off. It would be a shame to see him go though, he just needs a proper feud (not some bullshit fisticuffs that last two weeks).

He should have been a masked big man from day 1.

Tensai/Albert/A-Train is awful and always has been. The only good matches he has every produced were those when Undertaker carried his ass. That's it.

That's just plain ignorance. His match with Sheamus was very good and he was the star of the SD MITB match.

Above that, he has had some great matches with the likes of Yugi Nagata and Hiroshi Tanahashi in Japan. You all need to check out his work in Bad Intentions because they were legitimately one of the best tag teams in the world. I know you're all "WWE" fans but I like to consider myself a WRESTLING fan, as I watch everything. So I think I'd know what a good match is and what isn't. And Tensai has had many of them and is more than capable of being a credible main eventer in WWE. If Vader, Umaga, King Kong Bundy, Rikishi and Mark Henry can main event, why can't Tensai?
