WWE shelves current on air character



The Brodus Clay ‘Funkasaurus’ gimmick has been shelved for the time being. We’ve heard from multiple sources who say Vince feels his ring work wasn’t quite where it needed to be for television. A match with Clay vs. Heath Slater was cut from Smackdown two week’s ago after it was taped when the decision was made he needed to work on his ring skills.

    “…. Jericho is the one that needs a lot of in ring work… His wrestling skills are terrible and mic skills are even worse…”

    Would you please…SHUT…THE HELL…UP!

    You IWC morons will always find something to bitch about so who cares anymore. I trust in the company I know and love, cm punk is the champ. Jericho is back and on his game. Kane is back with a mask. Cena is nowhere near the title picture. You all need to stop bitching about who’s in the chamber or who’s botching or who deserves what none of you have stepped foot inside a ring much less a wwe owned ring. Stfu

    Have some respect for the workers that leave their families and spend 2 to 4 days a month at home and sacrifice their bodies and health. All so you guys can pick it apart and piss and moan. Stop watching if it’s so bad, trust me. The wwe doesn’t need a bunch of whiny marks with zero experience in anything wwe much less pro wrestling related. And don’t forget its ENTERTAINMENT. Go watch the bingo hall ROH and pick that apart too. Oh wait, I forgot, they’re perfect.

    God… I miss the shut the hell up :(

    Chris what do u know about wrestling highly doubt different for anyone on here never been in a ring and never will be

    I’ll admit that Clay needs to be a little more polished, but the gimmick is way over. Clay will be soon filed in to the forgotten files if he doesn’t get better and soon.

    As for people needing to be “more polished”, that didn’t stop the WWE from pushing the Miz, or Chris “one or two blow spots a match” Masters.

  7. Chris James says:

    A lot more than these people apparently, all you guys do is complain. And way to not think of anything yourself and say pretty much exactly what I said towards me. Clever.

  8. AJ Starr says:

    Shelve the only gimmick that is way over?

    I did notice WWE stocks drop a huge amount today.

    You can tell they really don’t care about their fans.

  9. Dusty says:

    I don’t get it. Brodus isn’t where he needs to be with in ring work? Does WWE realize they are pushing the Great Khali? That guy is right up there with Giant Gonzalez in the ‘worst wrestler of all-time’ category. Not to mention, no one outside of India cares about Khali. If WWE listened to the crowd they would realize that. He gets no reaction. At least with Brodus, he’s not too bad in the ring, he’s good on the mic, he looks like he’s having fun and he’s a lot more entertaining than a lot of the people out there. Sure, the Funkasaurus gimmick is stupid, but it’s over and WWE are dumb to stop it.

  10. Neil says:

    His ring skills were not nearly up to WWE standard. The gimmick was also pathetic. He needs to go back to FCW and stay there. I don’t understand why they’re pushing the Great Khali when there’s nowhere to go with him. They seemed to be ignoring The Miz and pushing R-Truth over him – another mistake.

  11. Chris James says:

    No No No No No. Truths gimmick is 10x as over as Miz. Two catch phrases and a faux hawk doesnt get someone over. Plus.. truth has experience. Khali is good for business. India is a HUGE contributor to WWE’s fan base and their relationship is strong. Khali is the biggest star out of India at least lately let’s face it, good for business. Just because he’s in the chamber doesn’t mean he’s taking Punks spot. Calm down, you guys.

  12. Chris James says:

    I will agree though. I have a feeling the ONLY reason brodus clay is even in the company is because Snoop has appeared at many events. Business. Brodus used to bodyguard for Snoop. Don’t forget you guys, it’s a business.
