Genichiro Tenryu is a grizzled veteran of Japanese wrestling but he was still in the early stages of his career when he appeared in WWE. His appearances came as part of a deal between WWE and Super World of Sports and WAR.

Tenryu appeared in the 1993 and 1994 Royal Rumble but he barely made any impact. He failed to get an elimination in either of his appearances and wasn't really used much by the WWE out of it. Things went a lot better for Tenryu in his native Japan where he is considered a legend today. He faced Kazuchika Okada in his retirement match in 2014.
