Matt Bloom himself must take a portion of the blame for why his run as 'Lord Tensai' failed in mid-2012, but the character was doomed from the beginning. Not only was it pretty one-dimensional, it was also extremely dated and the promotion didn't allow Bloom to show how much of a better wrestler he was in 2012 (due to significant time spent in Japan) than he had been the last time WWE fans had watched him regularly. Long story short, Tensai was filling space without any real purpose in the World Heavyweight Championship Money In The Bank ladder match in 2012. Really the only two things the big man did any of note were hitting Sin Cara with a vicious Powerbomb through a ladder and tossing Dolph Ziggler around like the proverbial rag doll. Both moments were fiery, and did have their place, but there was no real chance of Tensai ever coming out as the victor. That's been a recurring theme throughout this list, wrestlers included in Money In The Bank matches who don't really belong, and Tensai sums that up better than most. What other wrestlers can you think of who didn't really fit or belong in Money In The Bank matches? Do you agree with the choices here on this list? Let us know down in the comments section below!
