Unique? I could walk out my front door, and probably find a half dozen guys with man-tits in 15 minutes. And as for charisma....what? When? Are they 6 foot 8 350 pounds, with a mohawk and tattoos? And I found him very good on the mic. Especially his final NXT promo. No, they're not, but fat and tall is fat and tall. It's not unique. And having two catchphrases does NOT make anyone good on the mic. Yeah, he goes "SHEEEEEE" and "And you know this". That's not charisma. The only place G-Rilla excels is at the buffet.

Unique: not typical; unusual. There is no one in the WWE that looks anything like him. Like him or not, his look is the definition of unique. And almost every superstar has a catchphrase, and he had a hell of a lot more charisma than boring Curtis, which the WWE obviously saw.

And the sad bit is, none of that distracts from the fact that, when he's out in the ring, he looks like he's always just on the edge of tripping over his own two feet. The dude has no skills.

Not arguing with that. Just giving a likely reason as to why the WWE seems to rather push Brodus Clay over Curtis.

Looks like he's tripping over his own two feet? I... I can honestly say I don't notice that. What I do notice is that for his size, he and Johnny Curtis are at roughly the same skill level. Therefore, who's better would come down to originality and charisma, two things Johnny This-Face-Left-Blank wouldn't know if someone hacked it into his CAW. Personally, I'd prefer Derrick Bateman be on TV than either of them about ten times over, but I really don't miss Johnny Curtis.

Short answer: no.
Long answer: He was never supposed to win NXT, but for whatever reason, he did. There was never anything planned for him, so as a result, he's essentially been buried, and not even in midcard; he's pretty much in limbo, between the WWE and FCW, just like Kaitlin, a woman who wasn't even supposed to be on NXT, but was added at the last minute to close the giant-sized hole left by the Aloisia scandal. While I can't say who was originally supposed to win NXT (my money's on Naomi), Brotus was clearly supposed to win NXT; as a result, they've essentially said Attitude Adjustment to the fans vote so they could continue with the original plan of bringing Clay to television at Curtis's expense.

I still don't get this talk about they weren't supposed to win.
NXT is a work, they have the pro's poll that takes up enough percentage of the eliminations so they can ignore the fans vote.

I don't think even the WWE knows who Johnny Curtis is.

Bateman was supposed to win, but then he need surgery.
This is my theory.

I really don't understand this. The people that win NXT don't do jack shit afterwards. How? How is this possible? The losers are more successful than the winners. That defies all logic. If they have plans for who they want to win, they seriously should CREATE some plans for people that actually win. How tough is it? Seriously? People sitting at a computer have come up with ideas for these people, yet people that get paid to do this can't do shit all with them. It boggles my mind. It really does.

It's been said that Kaitlyn won due to enormous fan support in the votings and that's it. Then again, AJ had more followers than her on Twitter and Naomi, so I don't know who to believe in that regard.

If they really want a big dude they need to boot Brodus' ass back down to FCW and bring back Husky Harris, another big guy who can work circles around the Flan Man.

During the wwe title match Johnny boy will come out and get this....RKO John Morrison causing him to lose the match and having Miz win the title. This will lead to a Truth/Morrison feud with Johnny boy running in. Morrison will get another 'rookie' and they will blow off the feud at the Over the Limit. The End.

People sitting at a computer have come up with ideas for these people, yet people that get paid to do this can't do s*** all with them. It boggles my mind. It really does. Honestly, this is my main proof that NXT isn't rigged (any more than it is, of course). Outside of Wade Barrett, who was picked by the "WWE pros", none of the three NXT winners picked by fan voting have gone anywhere. Kaval: buried for a few months and then released with all of one pinfall victory outside of NXT under his belt. Same with Curtis: hasn't even been seen on WWE television, outside of being on the stage during Edge's final hurrah on SmackDown last week. Now for the NXT divas, not a single on of them have done anything since NXT, so I dunno where to go from that. I remember them mentioning something regarding Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday, about how regardless of how the votes went, there was always a scripted ending. And in all of those cases, the WWE more or less steered people into voting a certain way; and since the majority of the voters were easy to manipulate, they got their desired result (match stip, contender for a title, special guest ref, etc.).
