As soon as the name "Funkasaurus" was announced and the music hit (which was the same music used by Ernest "The Cat" Miller in WWE for anyone that didn't catch that) it was clear that this new character was going to get some strong reactions. In Run DMC-esque gear, smiling, dancing, it was an all new Brodus Clay. My first thought was....."Wow, they have totally ruined this monster and given him a corny goofy character." But after talking to some of our other writers and seeing the reaction its garnered, maybe a crazy over the top gimmick is a change that WWE needs. As one of my fellow writers put it: "What else was he going to be? Another Mark Henry?"
He's "funky," he's got dancers, he's got some Dusty Rhodes like lingo, but he's still a big man that can move in the ring. Should Clay have been a monster that destroyed everyone? Or is this crazy Funkasaurus gimmick going to make him a hugely popular star? It's really to early to tell, but it seems WWE is happy with all the reactions it has brought so far. What are your opinions on the new and funky Brodus Clay?
it's Funking awesome!
