Tensai to be reprimanded

WWE has issued an apology for a video Tensai posted late Monday night on the video sharing network Tout that could be perceived as racially insensitive toward Asian people.

"While in character, Lord Tensai (Matt Bloom) clearly took his storyline too far and he will be reprimanded for his inappropriate comments," WWE's statement reads, which was issued to multiple wrestling news outlets by company spokesman Kevin Hennessy.

The video, which has since been deleted, showed him traveling with his "personal chauffeur" Sakamoto to Indianapolis—the site of tonight's SmackDown taping—following Raw, and he remarked that it's "very, very dangerous" to drive with a Japanese person. He then smacked Sakamoto on the head as he drove and ordered him "to open his eyes."

Another racially charged remark toward Sakamoto was made on Raw as commentator Jerry "The King" Lawler quipped following the Tensai vs. Tyson Kidd match, "When Tensai beats up Sakamoto, he changes his name to Sum Ting Wong."

Back in the 1980's racist wrestling promos were everywhere. I remember Bill Dundee called Koko B. Ware a porch monkey on live TV when he "stole" Dundee's world title shot vs Ric Flair.

You can't say anything about anyone in todays world even if you and your buddies joke behind the scenes in that way. Albert should know better.
