Make way for the Funkasauras

We all knew the debut of Brodus Clay was coming.  We didn't know when, but we knew sooner or later Clay was going to pop up on Raw.  Johnny Ace (in reality just creative failing to find anything for him to do after they stole his idea and put it on Mark Henry) delayed his delay and kept promising us his debut.

This is what we get?  The Funkasauras from Planet Funk?  With Ernest "The Cat" Millers theme music? Backup-Dancers?  The love child of Disco Inferno and King Kong Bundy?  Did anyone see this coming?

As wrong as it all may seem.......I LOVE IT.  It was nice to see something that no-one expected.  It is also nice to see a legit gimmick back in the WWE.  It was nice to see big Brodus enjoying himself.  It may be a goofy gimmick, but what is not to like?

Everyone needs to remember....The wrestler makes the gimmick, the gimmick doesn't make the wrestler.  I think Brodus can make it work.  It appeared that he was having fun on Monday night.  While on his entrance, while in the ring, and post match (even in the WWE.com exclusive) G-Rilla was smiling and having a good time.  Dude was even giving in ring commentary.

Plus do we really need another Monster Heel?  We already have plenty of them and it has been played out.  As much as I like Mark Henry and what he is doing, do we really need Clay to be Mark Henry 2.0?  I think Brodus can make this work.

Lets just say that for once I was excited because something happened that I didn't see coming.  Something completely un-expected.  WWE delivered!

As one final note........Somebody call my momma!!!!
