I watched Wrestlemania 26 last night. I honestly couldn't remember the results for anything but the Taker vs HBK career ending match! It was just two years ago!!
One thing that surprised me was that the Big Show knocked out R-Truth and pinned him for the win. WWE lied to me! They said Big Show never had his Wrestlemania moment because he always lost or he was in a tag team where his partner won the match. What bullshit!

wait, you expect honesty? they manipulate the facts however it suits them, that's just how it works!

Jericho and Brock should be out there every night like the other dudes, not virtual presences there to piss off Cena and Punk. I dunno, totally wasted talent. Hell, even Otunga are wrestling more than they are.
Blah.
And Tensai is boring as fuck. He sucked as Prince Albert (though he was funny as hell when partnered with Test), and he sucks now. blech.
I kinda liked the whole "Yoshi Tatsu is pissed because Albert isn't really Japanese" thing.
Though... they won't play off that at all, except maybe CM Punk at one point bringing it up.
If I ran the WWE i'd probably use Albert as a stepping stone. Sign one of the bigger Japanese Stars... honestly of which I don't know because I haven't been paying attention to Japanese wrestling for 10 years. However bring them in and have them challenge Tensei for not really being Japanese and revenge for whatever federation he supposidly dominated, saying that he never fought him.
Maybe like... Keiji Mutoh under "Great Muta" again.

Sadly I have no idea who t hat is. The only asian wrestlers I know are like Tajiri and...uh, yoshitatsu.

So much talent that should carry it and be pushed imo to waste it on him.
I think it's funny, becuaseI think Santino is really, REALLY talented, and a load of fun to watch! I think he deserves it!

If your wondering why the ropes explode in that one scene it's because it's an electrified barb wire rope match.
I just had to say UFC is far better to watch than the male soaps known as "Pro Wrestling". Hell, I'd rather watch real wrestling with guys humping and groping each other than "Pro". "Pro Wrestling" was cool during the 80s with Hogan, Andre the Giant, etc.. It was a slow downfall during the 90s with WCW/nWo providing most of the excitement. Then it went to pure shit in the 2000s. Most things did though so it is understandable. I am glad World Wildlife Fund made the WWF switch their name to WWE because around that time is when things were completely shit. I believe when they dressed up Owen Hart into some stupid outfit and dropped him to his death is about the time "Pro Wrestling" fell flat on its face.

not sure if trolling or just really stupid.
It's not meant to be a sport, its meant to be entertainment. REAL wrestling and 'pro' wrestling are totally different things. Get over it.

oh man, dude is old! seriously, I doubt he'd be fun to watch in 2012.
You'd be surprised, he's still pretty decent... a lot better then the Undertaker in any case.
He wouldn't be an opitmal choice but i don't really know the Japanese wrestling scene.
How i'd book it is to have Tensai squash some more jobbers, give a real hard time and beat some top level talent, then bring in a "muta like" heel who dominates Tensai in a more atheletic japanese style match with some hardcore spots that Albert surely is familiar with and who the japanese press will make a big deal about
Then have Tensai subjugated to him or whatever and have him face some big threats.
basically the opposite of what they did with Sin Cara. Bring over a huge mexican star to essentially be a midcard jobber.
