Team up Tensai and Brodus. The New Twin Towers. OBVIOUSLY the name will need work but...

Going into RAW, they wanted to put some focus on Show vs. Sheamus but had no idea things would fall apart the way they did. Like Big Show's podium. And they wouldn't even give him a new one.

I really don't see why the gimmick has to go for Brodus to move higher up the card. All they need to do is do away with the post-match dancing celebration with kids and cut down his entrance. Push him up the card as a threat and he'll be taken seriously. I've never got this way of thinking. Why can't he be pushed up the card whilst remaining a kid-friendly nice guy who celebrates with kids and stuff? Don't get why goofy/nice guy = can't be taken seriously as a threat.

Funkasaurus is silly.......but rather silly that than the "old" version that did nothing for me......Tensai's OK too imo.

That would be a pretty funny booking, a double "self-aware" moment.
Brodus and Tensai are depressed backstage:
"My gimmick sucks. I'm Albert, dammit!" "Your gimmick sucks? They make me dance like a clown. The worst part is, I don't even know how to dance!" "I've been there, dude" (Some jobber walks down the hall)
"GRRRRR" "SHEEEEE!"
Jobber's dead.

I really like Clay's gimmick. Booking him as generic monster heel number 5,000 (and probably building him to lose to Cena or Sheamus) is a bad idea. He could be a solid mid-card face. He really should've had a longer feud with Cesaro, and a PPV match with Big show. They tried putting him in longer matches with guys like Miz and Otunga. It did not work, because he is absolutely atrocious in the ring and the crowd dies if the match goes longer than 3 minutes. He also doesn't have nearly the intensity of Ryback, so no chance he could ever get that kind of reaction in a match. And finally Brodus/Big Show would put the crowd to sleep.

Hard to believe that 10 months ago, Brodus was probably one of the most over guys on the roster. Stagnation will do that to you.
If anything, they should have kept him doing dark matches and putting him on TV once a month to keep him over.

So there plan is to take a a gimmick that had very little lifespan and replace it with a gimmick that has absoloutley no lifespan. Only in the wwe can one somehow fail upwards. That's Mike Adamle's WWE stint.

Just repackage Tensai as Albert. As for Brodus... I've never at any point cared for anything about the guy. I do agree, though, the Funkasaurus gimmick has gotten beyond old, even if at one point it was a good side attraction for the live crowds.

Will Tensai being ruined ruin Tensai's gimmick?
Tagging them up as big fat monster heels might not be a bad idea actually. More the merrier in the tag scene at the moment.

It's gotta be "Stan" and HBK should be the one there to pick him up off the floor

The best way seems to team up Clay and Tensai. Would also be an even bigger boost to the tag team division.

Heaven forbid a big guy have a unique, fun gimmick instead of just being generic monster #23,447,849. The character's alright but he's a nightmare to book. He's big, but he's a face, so he should win, but he can't beat everyone, but he shouldn't lose to some people, and by the way he can't handle a match longer than 4 minutes. He's a face. As long as he wins in the end, that's all that matters. Get him an actual feud already.

I'm on the team them up bandwagon.
either that or have them wrestle and have them do the spot where they collide. that collision will cause them to switch their gimmicks. well that's what I'm gonna do wwe '13
