I wasn't expecting anything much really. I wouldn't say it's the end of the road just yet for Brodus but I can see why some of you might think he's finished. He has to get some type of revenge soon otherwise he will end up looking like a comedy jobber with a winning streak.

Nah, his opponents have always been against his "gimmick", whether they scoffed at his dance or cut a promo on him like The Miz did. If getting beat down by one of the very few men on the roster that is bigger than him who is feuding with the WWE's poster boy, then every other superstar has been buried so far deep they're probably popping up in China right now.

It will get Brodus Clay some sympathy, makes him more than a comedy character.

He's a comedy character, they're allowed to lose, guys. It's okay. Take a deep breath.

It's not a burial because the match never happened so they're at least concerned with keeping his unbeaten streak alive.

I was always an anti-Brodus guy, but I thought he was booked great tonight. And I am not saying that because of any dislike towards him, quite the opposite really. He showed a different aspect of his character this time and I was glad to see him act serious but still retain some of his fun loving nature. I became a fan tonight. If the WWE were really burying Brodus they would have continued having him do his usual shtick until fans got tired and he's future endeavored.
He garnered sympathy tonight and that's a basic fundamental that many faces today can't really grasp. Really looking forward to seeing how his character progresses next week.

"The Burial of Brodus Clay" sounds like the title of a spooky H.P. Lovecraft story. "Brodus Clay' has a great ring to it: "The Many Loves of Brodus Clay", "Brodus Clay and the Duke of New York", "Will Fame Ruin Brodus Clay?" Even "How to Make Love to Brodus Clay".

Complete burial? That thought didn't even cross my head until I saw this thread. Talk about an overreaction.

No. Brodus is a midcard comedy gimmick that is around so he can dance with the kiddies. Big Show is supposed to be a part of a main event storyline. It would be like making a contender for the WWE title job to Santino. (Sorry Miz, but you dropped out of the main event over a year ago.)
Well, I'm not really sorry because I can't stand you but you know the deal.

He is the king of the midcard. I was surprised he challenged Show except Show needed someone his own size to plod around with. Show will never lead the Fed, even with Johnny's assistance. It has just been in the past 12 months that Show was being owned by The World's Strongest Man, then they had the payback and so what? BC is still undefeated and can now go back to beating everyone else with a possible revenge run-in on Show.

I really have to dispair that a face getting beaten down by monster heel is considered a burial. Oh yeah, and he said he sucked. No wrestler has ever done that to their opponent. Geez!

In the context of Heel Big Show tonight, not much. What he did to Brodus on the mic, really wasn't that different than how he went odd on Cena. They're presenting show as evil, willing to do anything to advance, sort of like how they built Mark henry last year. Plus, show destroyed Kofi and Truth, and with the pop they got for winning tonight, they're probably not losing the belts for awhile. Also, it's Big Show destroying Brodus, not someone like Santino. this is believable.

Was it also a burial when Big Show threw Alex Riley face first ihto a wall for no real reason? I just want to be clear.

Honestly, this made Brodus Clay a better character. It sucked when he was an invincible comedy midcarder, now at least he can be advanced into the upper midcard zone.

Not the throwing into the wall part, but the Riley actually being afraid of Show part. Even with his losing streak, Riley seems like the kind of guy who would stand up to anyone and go down swinging. Two former World Champions were forced to form a tag team to gain any sort of advantage over this guy but now he's scared sh*tless of the guy who was on his knees begging for his job.

I didn't see it as a burial at all.

He had to do more than just shake his ass at some point.

It's a comedy gimmick, there's not much credibility there to hurt anyway; so he'll be fine.
That's exactly what he is though, absolutely nothing more. There's nothing else that Brodus Clay brings to the table, so having a main eventer demolish him is fine. He can come back out next week and do his dancing and stuff again, and nothing will be different.
