His name was Prince Albert. Pierced nipples are nothing to him.

Agreed they seem like they are the studio audience that you shoot a sitcom in front of, reacting like crap on cue...

Brock Lesnar’s signing of a WWE contract on WrestleMania 28 weekend drastically changed several WrestleMania match outcomes and character futures.



The Hell in a Cell match outcome and future was said to be changed quite a bit last minute. Triple H vs Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 29 was one of the top possible matches being discussed prior to WrestleMania 28, with the idea of announcing the match on the 4/2/12 episode of RAW. When Lesnar was signed, WWE decided to scrap the plans for the time being. They wanted Lesnar’s return to be what ended RAW and a match being made between Triple H and HBK is something WWE felt would be so big, it should also end RAW. WWE then decided to hold off on that possible match because with the return of Lesnar, coupled with the belief that The Rock will be involved in next year’s WrestleMania, WWE didn’t want to pigeon hole themselves with a match between Triple H and Shawn Michaels for a year. Sources say the match hasn’t been wiped off the table but conversation of it likely won’t be revisited until WrestleMania 29 gets closer.



Another effect from Lesnar’s signing was John Cena’s future. It was expected that the newly debuted Lord Tensai would have his first feud with John Cena. Once Lesnar signed, WWE wanted Lesnar to start off his WWE return in a feud with John Cena so Lord Tensai is expected to work with CM Punk. Sources couldn’t confirm what the outcome of The Rock vs John Cena match was to be prior to Lesnar’s signing, but there is much speculation that Cena’s loss was decided upon later during WrestleMania weekend to set up the anticipation of Cena’s reaction the next night on RAW and hold the audience’s attention for the end of RAW and Lesnar’s return.

Exactly.  He was a beast in Japan and is actually a really good wrestler, but instead of bringing him back with just a badass monster gimmick, he's this goofy Japanese stereotype that is never going to work.

they edited the slip

leave that to muta

I honestly think the lord tensai gimmick could work but it would need a stable.........bring in yoshi tatsu with the facepaint, and a japanese tag team

Not surprised. He's a small guy even by a regular guys standard. These guys are on the road so much too.

This crowd sucks though.

Dammit. You're right.

 

[4wrestling]

If Tensai is going to become Johnny's henchman like we read about, they better do it soon before he really becomes a joke.


If they're not going to go that route, at least get him off Raw and move him to Smackdown. He can be more of a focus there.

 

[scott frost]

They should have just filmed a bunch of RAW's last week
