Yes i was talking about Lord Tensai, I know he didnt win clean and he is now under WWE contract. RED said that the WWE would never book their top baby face to lose to a person who is mostly famous in another country. No one said anything about him having to win cleanly and even though Bloom spent sometime in the WWE as Albert. its safe to assume that he is more famous for his Japan work.
Well, technically he did win clean, but the point you're leaving out is that this isn't an Extreme Rules match. It's a one on one competition. Had David Otunga entered the ring or Tensai sprayed mist into Cena's face in a normal single's match, he would have been DQ'd. So while Rikidozan wouldn't have to win cleanly here, it's not as if he could get by with outside interference or mist or any other foreign substance Rikidozan may employ here. Because it's not an Extreme Rules match, it's a single's match.
So in fact the WWE booked their top babyface to lose to a wrestler who is mostly famous for work in another promotion. How is that hard to understand.
They did it with lots of interference and the fact that it was an Extreme Rules match. In that case, Cena had an out. There's no out here for Cena, and this is exactly the type of match Cena would win. A heel coming into Cena's territory in a normal single's match? This is exactly the type of match people complain Cena doesn't lose enough. You can't have it both ways here. Either Cena is the top guy who never loses within the context of the WWE, or he's just some guy who was beaten by Lord Tensai two weeks ago.
I myself dont think that Cena would lose this match up but to say he wouldnt lose because the WWE would never book it that way is an errant thought.
But WWE doesn't book Cena to lose these matches much. Rikidozan always played the heel when he came into the States, so that's likely the role he'ld be playing here. And he's exactly the wrestler that Cena would lose to in a one-on-one match. Because Cena rarely loses a match under those circumstances. Seeing how this is a pretty big match, that's all the more reason Cena goes over here.
Folks, this is exactly the type of match Cena wins. Rikidozan was a great competitor with a ton of credibility, with wins over Lou Thesz to his name. He was a national hero who made his living in Japan by beating one visiting American after another.
But he'ld be coming into the US, and more specifically, the WWE region, as a heel. Even his wins over Thesz were in Japan. But this is the WWE region, going against their top face, in a one-on-one single's contest. This is exactly the type of match Cena wins 9 times out of 10, and here would be no different. No way Rikidozan comes in, as a heel, and beats Cena the face.
