In the September edition of the WWE Magazine, Tensai was asked about the differences between the WWE locker room in the mid-2000s when he left and in the 2012 when he returned.
"I don't know if they're tougher, because when I was years ago, there were a lot of men on the roster. When I came back, there were a lot of young faces, a lot of kids. The talent that walks in the locker room is amazing now, but in terms of toughness...well, this is a tough business. The current roster is a bunch of tough guys, and I give them a lot of credit. It's a man's game. I hit people hard and they hit me back harder. Let's just say I've had a couple of fights."
