Brodus Clay is apparently missing in action again. Clay debuted on Raw after several stalled and delayed returns that lasted well into the New Year with an unbelievable Funkasaurus gimmick. I predicted that he would return as a monster heel and destroy everyone in sight, however, I quickly hopped on team Funkasaurus when I saw Clay’s personality shine through. And the added plus of having Naomi back on TV.
Clay has been off TV for some weeks now and it might appear that the Funkasaurus has quickly become extinct. There have been varying rumors that Vince McMahon felt that Brodus Clay was “too green” in the ring and pulled him from TV, even having one of his matches edited out of Smackdown. I don’t personally buy this one as Clay had plenty of time to be evaluated in FCW, NXT, and as Alberto Del Rio’s lackey on Raw. Another rumor was that he was too unsafe in the ring to work with. Clay vaguely addressed the rumors on twitter.
I doubt we won’t be privy to the exact reasons while Planet Funk has temporarily been eclipsed, or even the origin of the gimmick itself. Some suggests that it was punishment, while other rumors claim it was Clay’s own ideal. Hopefully we will see the return of Clay to TV soon, as well as a return of more interesting characters rather than the Randy Orton clones we’ve been getting. #somebodycallmymama
