Right, and the opinion of those who remember him from the beginning of his career in the WWE carries more weight than the opinions of those who do NOT remember.

I like Tensai/A-Train he's the perfect example of a person that can be effective big man heel in the mid card. He looks scary, has big impact moves, and can be used as a utility very well. The problem with Tesnai is that well he's A-Train, you can repackage him all you want but people remember him as "Shave Your Back" A-Train. Also the gimmick kind of sucked, I wouldn't be a problem if he actually was Japanese but he was not.

If you remember him or anything before him your in a dwindling minority and you know this. If every last fan that watched him circa 1999 or 2000 was still here with you, me, and the other 20 to 30 somethings we'd still be in the Attitude Era and there would be no room at the shows for those brats I see everywhere.. come on..

Is Kevin Nash still Vinnie Vegas to you? Are you still waitin for Ryback to say "Yep yep, what it do!?" I think the bulk of people don't remember him which is all that matters. Its possible for him to go to Japan and make a transformation then come back, people transform in our sport. E&C in 2000 looked nothing like The Rated "R" Superstar or Captain Charisma.

Vinnie Vegas wasn't a very over character. Albert was. Shave your back and all that was memorable. Then you replace it with a pretty ridiculous gimmick and that's what people remember is the old one. Nothing wrong with a comedy wrestler. I'd rather be an over comedy wrestler than another snarling badass.
