WWE News: WWE Confiscates 'Albert' Signs at Raw Supershow

I think most will agree that Lord Tensai has been off to a rocky start with WWE. The man has tons of talent, and I have no doubt he will eventually become a star, if given time.

And it seems as if WWE is taking all measures to make sure that happens.

According to this report from LordsOfPain, WWE had security take away any "Albert" signs at the last Raw Supershow. Of course, Lord Tensai was formerly (Prince) Albert and A-Train in WWE.

My Thoughts on The News

I agree with WWE 100 percent.

They rent out the building. They pay the fees. They are airing the show worldwide. They are the ones you pay to see.

Some will cry foul about "freedom of speech," but that doesn't apply here—you are paying to see a WWE show. They make rules for that building. If you don't agree, feel free to not show up!

If they think the fan-made signs are causing a problem, the company has full authority to confiscate or decline entry. If they see a person making a scene in the crowd, you will be ejected.

It is that simple.

While the "Albert" signs may be in good fun, I understand WWE's mindset: WWE wants Lord Tensai to get over, not Albert.

It is the same laughable notion WWE is wrong to support SOPA.

They aren't wrong—the company is perfectly in their rights to protect their product and profits at all costs. In this case, fans entering a live event are now "guests" of WWE.

Again, if certain signs are not allowed by WWE's rules, then that is just the way it is. They own the building for that night, not you.

Instead of trying to "earn points and get a laugh" by chanting Albert (or making a sign), take all that energy and yell "Tensai Sucks!"

Help the man get his new act over. Chanting something like "Sexual Chocolate" towards Mark Henry is not helping anything.

If you truly do not like Tensai and don't want to get him over, turn your back and stay silent.

Yes, silence is the only way to show WWE you don't care. It is the same thing with chanting "Cena Sucks." That isn't doing anything to help your cause.

John Cena won't turn heel because of it. In fact, the company turned it around and made a shirt off the notion. Again, if you really want Cena gone, stay silent when he comes out.

His music hits...get up and go to the restroom. Go grab a drink. Yelling and chanting is only feeding into his character right now.

Back to Lord Tensai. I really do have high hopes for his future. However, early signs are that fans just aren't going to give up the Attitude Era. The man completely re-invented himself, and folks won't even give him a chance.

It has been over a decade. It may be time to move on. For all I know, next week fans will start up a "Hip Hop Hippo" chant...

It is 2012, right?
