Way to go, WWE. Turn Brodus Clay heel...give him a jobber entrance and then have him lose to R Truth yet again.
Genius.

Still better than the Lei'D Tapa booking in TNA.

He should cut a promo similar to his NXT closing promo in 2011: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWmOO1IvK4Maybe then he could be hired as Damien Sandow's bodyguard or something like that.

They haven't been able to book big men in about 20 years.
Imagine if a Hollywood writer from today back in the 1980s
Booker: So then Andre rips Hulk's shirt off and challenges Hogan for a match Writer: Great! Then have disco music and Andre can dance and shake his ass Booker: What? No! Then he goes into attack Hogan when he next wrestles Writer: Right, right. And then midgets invade the ring and Andre twerks with them for five minutes? Booker: No! Then they have their match at WM and Hogan goes over Writer: I see, and after the match Andre can wash away his sins by dancing!!

It's had to believe i'd think he could ever be better as dancing, jiggly pile of goo, but it's much better than this is.

This whole storyline seems like in a bizarro universe it would make for amazingly thought out, intelligent writing. It's like at every single turn they've done the wrong thing.

I dunno, I liked TOF as a team. They were fine for what they were

Meh, it's only Brodus Clay.
Maybe if it was someone with actual talent, I might be able to bring myself to care.

I take issue at the phrase "jobber entrance"
Not everyone needs an entrance all the time, it gets pretty boring and repetitive if we have to watch everyone walk to the ring every week.
And perhaps they didn't give him a walk to the ring because Funk is on a roll and the dancing doesn't suit his new character and they haven't come up with a replacement yet?

He's got new heel entrance music, so you'd think they could let the viewers actually hear it. A jobber entrance is one thing, but then to lose as well doesn't exactly scream success.

Given how much Brodus sucks, a proper push would be silly too.

Will Brodus Clay's jobber entrance ruin the Tensai gimmick?

I see the sarcasm in the first post. IMO this is not how you book a monster heel, this is how you turn a big guy into a joke.
The example of how you build a monster heel is what they're doing with Brock Lesnar on Raw this week

If this storyline is used to get Brodus over as a monster heel, it's f***ing terrible.
If this storyline is used to get Xavier Woods over as a babyface, it's f***ing terrible.

It's probably going on a bit too long, but I'm just glad we have a non-Title feud, even if its really the lowercard. I'm hoping they'll start doing a lot more when the Road to Wrestlemania kicks in. Or at least after The Authority angle ends if not there.

TBF, I think this whole feud was meant to pair up the Funkadactyls with Truth & Woods instead of re-establishing Brodus as a monster.
