5 Huge WWE debuts that ended up disappointing

#1 Lord Tensai

Tensai returned to WWE in 2012.

During his first run with the WWE, Matt Bloom was little more than a sideshow, with his multiple piercings, bald head and massive clumps of body hair making him rather uncomfortable to watch.

Despite some success, including a reign as Intercontinental Champion, it wouldn’t be until Bloom joined New Japan as Giant Bernard that he would have real success.

Earning both the IWGP and THC Tag Team Championships in Japan, Bloom would establish himself as one of the biggest gaijin wrestlers, so it wasn’t too much of a surprise that the WWE once again took an interest in him.

Returning as Lord Tensai, the characters was hyped up with vignettes that showed the mysterious shrouded man, as only a few fans knew about Bloom’s success oversees.

Destroying Alex Riley in his debut, Tensai was heavily pushed, even defeating John Cena, a feat very few can claim to have done.

But not long after, things would come spiralling down, as older fans mockingly chanted “Albert” at him, as his push slowly disappeared.

Just months after his debut, Tensai lost his lordship, entrance attire and undefeated streak, quickly entering a comedy tag team with Brodus Clay.

Clearly unhappy with how quickly things have gone south for him, Bloom retired from wrestling in 2014, but hasn’t quit entirely.

Instead, Bloom now words as the head trainer of the WWE Performance Center, following the resignation of Bill DeMott, where Bloom trains the next generation of WWE Superstars, hoping they will do much better on the main roster, than he did.
