Lord Tensai: WWE Must Reveal Mystery Star's Identity After WrestleMania

When The Rock, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Triple H all disappear after WrestleMania, the WWE has to have a plan in order to keep fans tuning in.

That’s what the revealing of Lord Tensai’s real identity will provide. While many of the fans already know who they mystery man is, there are plenty of members of the WWE universe that don’t like their surprises spoiled and are still genuinely interested.

Despite many fans that know that the mystery man is indeed Prince Albert or A-Train, there is still genuine anticipation about what he can offer to the WWE. While most casual fans remember him for his stint with Test and Trish Stratus as T&A, Albert has spent the last several years dominating his craft in Japan.

While fans will scoff at the idea of a 40-year-old man honing his craft in another country, those that know Japanese wrestling know that it’s a much different animal than in the United States. Lord Tensai will be coming to the WWE with a whole different move set and an impressive arsenal of abilities he didn’t have when he left WWE.

The WWE  is also starting to realize that vignettes teasing the return of a star are generating a real buzz in the days of the Internet, so the hope will be that Chris Jericho’s vignettes, as well as Lord Tensai’s, will cause WWE to start doing more of the same.

I think a younger star like Dean Ambrose or Seth Rollins coming up to WWE with a package of videos like that would be an amazing way to get the fans interested without ever seeing a star on TV.

Of all the reasons that will keep Lord Tensai from Wrestlemania, money is the biggest factor. While the addition of him to the WrestleMania card via surprise attack on whoever his next feud will be would be cool for the fans watching, those that don’t order the PPV will miss the action.

If Lord Tensai is to feud with one of the company’s top stars, he needs to return on free television in order for the most possible people to care.

With many of the veteran wrestlers taking extended time off after WrestleMania, Lord Tensai will be the distraction that has fans forgetting that Undertaker will be gone for another year.
