When Matthew Bloom (a.k.a. A-Train, Albert, Prince Albert, etc.) debuted as Lord Tensai, I immediately questioned it. I didn’t like the whole Japanese gimmick, the fans couldn’t separate him from his past as Albert, and I honestly didn’t see him ever being able to get over with a gimmick that just wouldn’t translate well to the WWE audience. Apparently, the WWE agreed with me. It didn’t take long for creative to drop the “Lord” part of his name, take him out of the main event angles on Raw and relegate him to a spot on Superstars. However, there are more changes to come for Tensai, because dropping half of his name is reportedly the first step in a major gimmick overhaul for the man formerly known as Albert.
