WWE: The Many Faces Of Matt Bloom AKA Tensai

Lord Tensai (World Wrestling Entertainment, 2012 - 2013)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S94cmL3Ylb0 Following week's of hype Bloom made his WWE return on an episode of Monday Night RAW under the name Lord Tensai. His match was a complete squash illustrating his dominance and despite chants of "Shave your back" (even though he was smooth as a baby's behind) WWE moved forward on pushing him as the next top monster Heel in WWE. For the first few week's despite criticism of his style which had changed drastically since last appearing in a WWE ring Lord Tensai's push picked up steam and even saw him defeat top names like John Cena and CM Punk. In the long run though this was all for nothing as WWE abandoned the push as quickly as it started deciding to go instead with The Big Show in the spot reserved for Matt Bloom. On May 21st Tensai dropped 'Lord' from his ring name as well as his original ring gear in a bid to make his character less bizarre to the US audiences. Without the WWE machine behind him he sank quickly through the rankings perhaps falling to a lower spot on the card than he had even previously had before leaving in 2004. Despite a spot in the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank match Tensai began a months long losing streak and was soon relegated to comedy matches with Santino in which he was dubbed "Fat Albert". By the end of 2012 it looked like Tensai's big return had all been for nothing and it wouldn't be long before he was released from his contract once again.
