What the Funk? Brodus Clay pulled from WWE TV (Raw, SmackDown)

News

According to a story posted on WrestlingInc.com:

The Wrestling Globe reports that WWE officials have decided to put Brodus Clay’s “Funkasaurus” gimmick on hold for the time being. Word is that Vince McMahon feels that Clay’s ring work wasn’t where it needed to be for WWE TV.

A match against Heath Slater was cut from SmackDown a few weeks back when the decision was made that Clay needed to work on his in-ring skills.”

Ralphie’s Rant: Surely the powers that be were aware of Clay’s moveset and ring skills before they put him on TV right? And if he possesses skills other than the three moves he utilizes (and calls out), it might take more than the 45 seconds his matches have been booked to go. If it’s the gimmick that they’re getting cold feet on, have him break character in the middle of his dance routine, denounce the gimmick, and go all bad-ass on someone, like say Santino.
