Whats the deal with Jason Albert (Tensai)?

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

I remember the reports saying he had signed a pretty big contract back in the day to come back from Japan (and go over Cena )...

Did it run out and they re-upped him for the cheap? Or is he getting paid a shyt ton to do the occasional commentary spots? Anybody know?

Is he ever gonna get back in the ring? They had teased something with Brodus when he walked out on him, but it seems like it may have just been a way to get them off TV.

He's not that bad on the mic in commentary though.

I read reports that he has transitioned to commentary

Yeah but do you know if they re-structured or signed a new contract? Id assume so..

Surprised they wouldnt go with a small Brodus-Tensai feud even if they combined it to make it Tensai/Darren Young vs Brodus and Titus

He's pretty decent on NXT in the analyst role

Way better than Alex Riley

Contracts are guaranteed, they cannot "restructure" it unless Tensai agreed, which I doubt he did.

He's a commentator and trainer now

Isn't a commentator a employee ? Hence he gets benefits and stuff?

I remember he wouldn't shutup on Twitter last year about this whole #365daystoredemption bullshyt because he got bumped off of last years Wrestlemania.
edit: So he's in the battle royal? So he finally did get redeemed

I don't think WWE knew what to do with his character any more. He's better suited on commentary anyways. Hell, the entire NXT panel is better than Cole and JBL.

Yep

dude just keeps winning

Tensai is getting ready for retirement. It probably was in the contract. Nothing wrong with it, probably will get rid of Hugh Morris in a few years as a trainer. He gets to live the easy life by training wrestlers, do commentary and just drive to work in Florida and spend time with his kids. Not to mention travel to PPVs or RAW's. I would love to be paid $250k a year to do that shyt.

I remember how he had tons of people saying he good he was in Japan, what happened to all those fans no fake outrage or anything

He's old and the wwe style has transition so his style only works at certain times against opponents of similar attributes
