Tenru's Time?
by Devil Tetsuo, November 6th, 1998
My locker room sources have told me that Super Japan wrestler, Jensei Tenru
has been said to have contacted the corporate offices of G-Pro. Tenru
has emerged as one of the fastest rising stars in all of Japanese wrestling
and is now said to also want to compete in G-Pro.
Tenru is one of the most arrogant stars to hit the scene in quite a
while. Feuds look to be on the horizon with both "Japanese
Superstar" Jensei Tenru and Super Tengu. I traveled to the
Matsuoko Dojo International a few days ago and asked Tenru about this hot
rumor. Tenru replied, "If I do go to G-Pro, I will show all the
lucha fans that I am the hottest thing in that country since the dysentery
outbreak in Tijuana last year."
At 21 years of age, Tenru has been a shameless self promoter and markets
himself in any way possible. This is quite a switch from his humble
childhood where he was abandoned by his natural parents and adopted at age
two by Hakiro Matsuoko. Matsuoko soon began training this child in the
martial arts and soon after that, professional wrestling. Matsuoko has
told me that Tenru's huge ego developed after he saw his own potential and
ability. Matsuoko, who is a very traditional competitor, says that he
has no problems with Tenru's ego. "It is needed in such a
competitive sport." he told me just a few days ago.
If and when Tenru debuts in G-Pro he may just set the standard for stardom in
those two leagues. With his ability and confidence, Tenru may prove
that he is, as he says, "It."
