This. Albert was never really special. They should just give him those 'deavors so he can take his gig back to Japan. Best for both sides.
The problem with the gimmick is the same problem that all of the WWE's gimmick based wrestlers have: there is no platform for them to authenticate their personas.
What does it mean to be a "Lord"?
Is he a samurai? A martial artist? A sumo wrestler? And if he is, how is the audience to interpret that? Through his wrestling style?
And how does his "Far East" background make him a threat? Hell, how does it even make him unique? And are we supposed to believe that he's a White man who's adopted Bushido or are we supposed to pretend that he's Asian?
A-Train failed because there are no Piper's Pits to showcase talent. And there are no backstage/video promos to hype up talent anymore.

He should have came back as Albert: a wrestler that was in the WWE that left to wrestle in Japan, he conquer Japan now he returned to plow through WWE. It's that simple but instead they give him some fake ass Japanese warlord gimmick with letters painted on his forehead like we supposed to take that seriously.
cosign,...
plus like most wwe characters,...they never explsin why a character is that character.
they just throw them out there amd charge it to the grappler's culture card erroneously, when it fukks up.

The sad thing is they are gonna put him back in the same attire he had back when he was in T n A (no pun intended) and try to market him as some Yakuza dude that Johnny brought in from the far east to protect him. It's fukked up that his spot his going to Big Show though. I was hoping that 2012 was the last we seen of this dude.
Give the spot to Dolph........

good point, both promos and the announcers getting more in depth with explaining the character would be needed to make anybody care. You can't just throw a character out there without really explaining why he is what he is.

SWEEEEEEEEEETNESS!
I think the main issue is that he could not use the Japanese style in the WWE. Its hard to distinguish the difference in styles if youre not allowed to have it. All you become at best is a goof with a helmet or generic big man #3639568294. Plus they gave Sheamus one of his finishers. Going back to Japan is best for him. He'd be a
