I still don't understand the green mist/claw. Just hit them with the green mist to the face and then do the claw
They aren't. Every time Tensai appears Lawler and Cole discuss how he was in WWE and went over to Japan and "dominated". They acknowledge that he is Albert. What's somewhat confusing about it is that they haven't done a great job explaining how he picked up different aspects of Japanese culture and fighting styles.
Nevertheless, if they had just let him work like he was in NJPW, he would be over.
