Looks like WWE found a way to sneak Chris Benoit into their Hall of Fame!
That was so, so sad. I was hoping that this would be yet another week that WWE failed to deliver Clay and that Clay would instead come out as Miz's bodyguard. That type of role has given us several break out stars. Instead, we get the Funkasauraus? Why? I will say that it was kind of funny, though. Just for the fact that it was so unexpected. |

I didn't watch Raw (only know about Clay because of a newz site) but I'm assuming he was still a dominant monster - just a funkadelic one? Has there ever been anybody like that before? I'm not talk the funky gimmick, but a funky monster. Maybe it can work? If I was watching, I'd probably prefer a monster with some character than to see just another generic angry big guy in tights for the seventeenth thousand time. |

Switching conversation points, was the CM Punk/Swagger match suppose to end when it did? It looked like Punk was going for the anaconda vice and was legitimately pissed off when the Ref raised his hand. And the ref looked like he may have been getting his ass handed to him through that ear piece. It was weird. |

I noticed the same thing during the Punk match. It looked like he prematurely called for the bell, and I wouldn't understand why Punk would argue with the ref for winning anyway so... I thought the Clay thing was awesome. I didn't care at all about him coming into WWE so at least I got something funny out of his debut. But like I said, the only thing I cared about was Edge. I've realized there are things that slowly made me stop watching wrestling, and, respectively, they were when Michaels retired (I'd watch once every few weeks after), then when Edge retired (I didn't watch any WWE event until Punk's worked shoot promo). I just don't care about the gimmicks or the wrestlers anymore. Edge was one of the few people I actually cared about, besides Jericho and Michaels, because everything is built on stupid gimmicks now. They all showed up every week with heart and all got to the top the "hard" way, so I feel like wrestling lost something when Edge left. There's still Punk and I guess you can lump Daniel Bryan in there (although I heard he's been doing horribly) as guys who paid their dues, but that's about it.

Daniels was absolutely horrible right up until he won the World Title. But right now he seems to be turning heel and actually gaining a personality. My biggest complaint against him was his lack of personality and generic promos. He's slowly changing that as he's slowly turning heel. He's actually becoming funny and entertaining. The question is how much they invest in this new Daniel Bryan character. SD! apparently got one of its lowest ratings in many years this past week. I wonder if WWE will blame Daniel Bryan and take the World Title off him. Guess we are only a few hours from knowing. But I don't think they will. I think they are giving us a second World Title match on SD! to burn through the gimmicks so they can do some other gimmick match at Royal Rumble.

Not exactly "funkadelic" but Viscera did his Love Machine gimmick as a face. Then again, the most he got pushed was when he started to romance Lilian. |

Brodus Clay seriously made Raw for me. I haven't marked out in a while, but Clay's entrance had me on my feet. As goofy as the gimmick is, I'd love to see him challenge for the United States Championship at some point in the future (just for the lulz).

I gave up reading that guy's report about half way through. I kind of want to punch him in the face. He's the reason internet fans/smarks have such a bad reputation. He clearly isn't a fan of what WWE does but he goes to the show to bitch about it anyway. Edited by Kraul, Jan 10 2012, 06:17 PM.

Maybe I was just hearing things, but the crowd definitely wasn't dead for Brodus Clay. There was course the "WTF silence" when he first came out, but it sounded like they came around to him. |

You missed my Survivor Series review when I went at MSG:First half of the show: "fuck this shit I'm getting drunk so I don't have to pay attention." Second half of the show: "YES PUNK! OMG THE ROCKKKKKK!!!!!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!" Overall: The show completely sucked aside from two people.

I thought the same thing. I heard quite a few cheers every time he did any kind of dancing. I thought it was funny, but I don't see how it could be taken seriously as a main event gimmick.

Do you remember how popular Rikishi was in 2000? Dude debuted and within months he was main eventing TV shows against D-Generation X - when they weren't a couple of past their prime kid joke goofballs. And that was during the beloved Attitude Era. One of the only faces that could get more cheers that was often seen was The Rock (Undertaker and Austin were out for a lot of his peak). So I don't think it's out of the question for Brodus Clay to become a main eventer and extremely popular. Not necessarily going to happen, but it's not something that's extremely unlikely. It's just more a question of if he gets up there, will he stay? Rikishi didn't... but he lasted a decent time floating in and out of the main event (it all died after 2001). |

The thing that killed Rikishi for me was when they tried to give him a HIAC moment similar to Mankind's. I believe they had Undertaker push him off the HIAC but he landed on a truck full of hay and sold it like Mick Foley. That killed his act for me, completely. I think it would be cool if Brodus Clay was the Funkasaurus when he wasn't wrestling, but then he turned into a monster if he got angry. I mean, he's happy and dancing when he's in control, but he just snaps and destroys people when he gets mad. That's not likely, but it'd be cool. |

That Rikishi Armageddon moment was and is so incredibly stupid. Me and a friend still laugh at that stupid thing. I don't know if I ever saw the match in it's entirity, but I do remember something about McMahon and his stooges trying to hurry down to the ring... but taking the time to back up a truck full of hay. I don't know if they were trying to get Rikishi (their guy in the match, I think) to safely jump or what but yeah... it's worse than when they drag someone up to the stage to throw them off onto a conveniently placed large cushion. ![]() As for the joking/serious gimmick, I totally had an idea for a character like that for years now. But I always pictured a kind of WCW Chris Jericho/heel Lionheart type who was usually a coward and kind of light hearted, but sometimes he would just snap and lose his temper - utterly destroying the guy in the ring or whatever.... but it wouldn't always happen. Just enough to establish that it CAN happen.

It definitely won't. If the company does get behind Brodus for a main event run, he'll end up becoming a monster heel like Mark Henry.
Kurt Angle's Olympic Hero gimmick during his first title run was pretty much like that. Edited by Lionheart, Jan 12 2012, 01:40 AM.
