Things were very strange in Tensai-Land. At the moment he was not dressed in his crimson colored robe or mask that he wore prior to a match to strike fear into the hearts of his opponents. Instead he was dressed in a black dress shirt, leather slacks and a bright red tie. He had the sort of goth raccoon eyes makeup as well. Tensai didn't seem overly thrilled with his appearance but he would go along with it. If it got him closer to breaking Paige's icey shield than it would all be worth it. Besides that he was also successful in his first round KOTR match so perhaps his raven haired goddess had him on the right track.

The Coach: Joining me currently is Tensai who was very impressive in his first round victory against Path To Glory Champion Damien Sandow.

Of course he was impressive! Tensai beat a fist against his chest like a dominate Cro-Magon. The hallway he stood in was his domain and so was the ring!

The Coach: But in your next round match you will be facing a very stiff challenge in HHH.

Tensai: Ha! Do you think I possibly fear HHH? Preposterous! My confidence cannot be wavered.

The Coach: Also noticing that you're sporting something of a..different look there.

Tensai: Do you have a problem with my appearance, Coach?! Are you accusing me of being somehow less of a man?!

The Coach: No, no, no! I wasn't saying that at all!

Tensai: Can you comprehend that I have now embraced a different culture, just as I did when I battled in Japan, and it has brought me rapid success! I refuse to play HHH's "game". The only game I shall play with him is the game that involves him looking for his lost teeth after I rattle them loose from his skull! It is no longer "all about the game"! It is now all about Tensai winning the King Of The Ring! I shall dedicate my glorious victory to the lovely Paige and all others who dare impede my progress!

It was at this moment that Tensai remembered Paige's request to stop "talking like a robot". Confusion abounded as Tensai never thought he spoke a soulless machine but a MIGHTY WRECKING MACHINE. However he relented if it meant winning her black heart.

Tensai: HHH! I'm going to mess you up so badly that you will wish I hadn't messed you up so badly! I am somehow going to deliver a punch so hard that it will even break YOUR gargantuan nose! FEEL IT!

Hopefully this was the type of insulting banner she had hoped to hear. Tensai clobbered the side of his gigantic head with one of his equally gigantic fists to psyche himself up before heading back into his locker room to prepare for this war.
