Who is Tensai?
The answer may surprise you. The mysterious Superstar who thundered into WWE on April 2, 2012 boasts a rich, storied past that spans across both years and continents. Tensai’s path to that fateful night began when he competed in WWE under the names Albert and A-Train for a number of years. During this initial run, Tensai, who's built like a bulldozer but possesses surprising agility and speed, battled some of the most iconic Superstars in WWE in the hopes of capturing sports-entertainment’s supreme mantle: the WWE Championship.
Despite his prowess, though, the powerhouse Superstar was unable to achieve his mission, and decided his path to the World Title lay elsewhere. He ultimately crossed the Pacific Ocean on a personal journey to Japan. There, he immersed himself in Japanese culture and customs, adopting a new training style and ultimately forsaking the ways of his homeland in the hopes that, when he did finally return, he would claim the greatness that had eluded him the first time around.
As the final step to his transformation, the expatriate took the name of Tensai, which translates to "disaster." And with his servant, Sakamoto in tow, disaster did indeed descend upon WWE when Tensai made his return, mauling Alex Riley into submission in his first contest on the night after WrestleMania XXVIII.
Over the following months, Tensai had impressive outings against John Cena and CM Punk. However, after several frustrating losses to Tyson Kidd, Tensai assaulted his own associate Sakamoto on the July 30, 2012, edition of Raw.
