Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 4-16-12

Extreme Rules Match: Lord Tensai def. John Cena:

What I Liked:

I will hold my bashing of Tensai for a minute here. The match was pretty decent, with the focus on Cena getting screwed over by Laurinaitis. I thought he worked well with Tensai, a guy who can work in the ring and work impressively. His size and tattoos are really intimidating. This was much better for Tensai than another squash. With that all being said…

What I Disliked:

Lord Tensai goes from beating Yoshi Tatus and then beating John Cena. Wow. Where is the progression in his development there? I hate his gimmick, not necessarily his work. It is absolutely brutal and nobody really cares about him right now. Everyone says give him time, but I feel like this is too out of the ordinary to have people want to invest. He will not sell PPV's, not sell merchandise, and will definitely not have everyone excited what is to come in the summer months. I hate that this ended Raw. Cena needs to be the focal point of Laurinaitis and Lesnar, not a guy like Tensai. Tensai looks much better this week beating Cena, but does anyone really care? I do not.
