Man...Flash Funk really let himself go.
Honestly, if Adrian Adonis can survive an embarassing gimmick, anyone can.

Since he is using the Cat's theme, I wonder if his Royal Rumble participation will be longer than his. Will he spend his time at the Rumble dancing?

So, have we determined yet how close Planet Funk is to Planet Stasiak? So I''m not the only one whose first thought turned to try and figure out where these planets fit in the WWE universe...

If Kane can come back from a Hogan impression, the Kane-a-roonie, and doing Santino's trombone, Brodus Clay can come back from this.

So his punishment for blabbing off on Twitter is giving him an awesome funk gimmick? Not bad.

Rikishi was taken serously dispite being a dancing fat man who rubbed his ass in people's faces, he was actually a threat while doing a comedy gimmick.
Big Daddy V/Viscera was Mabel of Men On A Mission and The World's Largest Love Machine.
Dusty Rhodes, nuff said.
What I'm hoping is that Brodus is still taken seriously as a threat while doing his new gimmick, with the Royal Rumble coming up I think he'll eliminate a few guys and maybe stare down with Kane or Henry.

I said it in the Raw thread, but I don't think this is punishment (if it is, they really need to punish more people), I think the idea is that Johnny Ace's plan to turn Clay into a monster by delaying his debut backfired majorly.

Regardless, I hope Brodus puts 100% effort in this gimmick.

He was never gonna be taken seriously in the first place; as he's just not very good.
This at least gives him something to do.

So, have we determined yet how close Planet Funk is to Planet Stasiak? What about the Terrain of Testament? Or Parts Unknown? What about Dudleyville?

'my bad'
I thought it was hilarious. As soon as Roberts said 'from Planet Funk' I had to pause my sky box just to get that information into my head and from that moment on I couldn't stop laughing.

He might make it work. It's distinct at least.

This makes me think that Ernest "The Cat" Miller may have been an ambassador from Planet Funk who was sent to Earth secretly by the Funkonians to see if we have the defenses to repel an attack. Obviously, he reported back that our defenses were solid, so they broke out the big guns and sent the Funkasaurus as the first wave of their invasion. I think that within a year's time, we'll all be dancing around and wanting people to call our mamas.
