Lord Tensai appears to be heading towards a fail...

He can't get over now that he's shaved his back. That was the only heat he used to get.

in 2012 gimmicks like that don't work anymore. people want to see reality (even if it's faked).
give him a "real name", like albert bloom, maybe with somekind of japanese nickname. the story of destroying everything in japanese wrestling, after being rejected by wwe and seeking for revenge now, could have worked.

Where's the option for "They won't bail on him, they'll just let him drop down to Khali-esque level before turning him into a comedy face..."

Give the character some time. The Albert chants won't last forever. Eventually he may start speaking and the whole Japanese warrior gimmick may start to fade and he'll just be a character who went to Japan and got better (as opposed to a character who went to Japan and became a Japanese warrior lol).

He is not the right person to carry this gimmick. Unfortunately he will be on WWE SuperStars in about 2 months, well before SummerSlam.
You could have had Brodus Clay debut with this type of gimmick and it would have been much more effective, although I do love the Funkasauraus.

WWE should have a Gimmick vs. Gimmick match at Summerslam, winner gets to steal the other wrestler's gimmick!

I chose 3 - 6 months because I certainly don't believe that he will be champion but I don't think they'll give up on it any time soon. We need to give it some time in my opinion. I feel like Pollock's Umaga comparison is an apt one. It may not be as sucessful as Umaga would become before his untimely death but it may just. Passing judgement on it's sucess or failure at this point is premature.

Passing judgement on it's sucess or failure at this point is premature. What you are failing to realize though is that Umaga looked like a BEAST in these squash matches, Lord Tensai just methodically moves throughout the ring and "knocks" guys out, just not as convincing to get over. I guess a part of me could see him in the Intercontinental Title picture, but that is the absolute peak.

Should have been named Lord Albert. This character is nothing but fail so far. Those TKO aren't helping either. Tis a shame to, cause I like Albert.

Two matches and you guys are already calling it a failure. Yet everyone complains when they don't let things develop. I remember when Umaga came in with purple hair. People were calling that a failure as well. Or... I chose 3 - 6 months because I certainly don't believe that he will be champion but I don't think they'll give up on it any time soon. We need to give it some time in my opinion. I feel like Pollock's Umaga comparison is an apt one. It may not be as sucessful as Umaga would become before his untimely death but it may just. Passing judgement on it's sucess or failure at this point is premature. What he said.
