I'm sure the gimmick will get over, but I was extremely disappointed. I liked his crushing big man gimmick. Reminded me of a Bundy.

I think he's doing this to suck up to Laurinaitis, then after a few months he'll attack ol' Johnny for pushing his debut back week after week, then we'll see the good Brodus Clay Um, you do realize that it isn't real, right? In storyline, every week Laurinaitis said that Clay will debut. He never did, Clay was said to be getting angrier. In storyline I think he's playing the happy good guy as a trick to become "friends" with John or something like that

Nothing compared to Too Cool, lol.
I don't think this gimmick is serious. It seems over the top cheesy, just like Jericho's current shtick. I think there's something more to the gimmicks than we know right now

I actually think this will be a boost to his career.
I know if this gimmick lasts long enough to get an elite figure complete with track suit and hat, it will be mine.

I agree that there might be more to it. I found it Hilarious though that he came out to Ernest "the cat" Millers old WWE theme music. Anyways, can't wait to see where they go with it and hey, at least Hawkins got on RAW

Name one big monster heel that the gimmick has worked for in the last 5 years?
No one is interested in it anymore. Had he gone down that route, he'd be the next A-train or Mike Knox.
Even Mark Henry's recent monster heel gimmick was enjoyable for 20 minutes. And now it's dry like my elbow....

God forbid we get something different than the typical big man undefeated monster ****. We already have Mark Henry and Kane to a lesser (skinnier) degree as the big men monsters.

I'm open to seeing where it goes. I think he should be heel though, not sure what they were going for last night. He can be the Funkasoraus and still be heel similarly to Adonis or something like that. It could work out well IMO. We'll see.

How about Mark Henry, who for the first time in 15 years actually matters. Although, I guess an argument could be made for his ECW run too, or how about Big Show's heel run in like 08. A monster heel works just fine as long as it's the right guy with the right booking. It worked for Mabel in 95, it can work for anyone imo. I personally think a monster heel Brodus Clay could have worked really well since he is pretty fluid for such a big guy but I guess we will see where this funk thing goes.

God forbid we get something different than the typical big man undefeated monster ****. 1,000x THIS. Thank goodness for crazy, awesome gimmicks. I can't believe people are complaining about this turning him into a "joke." Brodus just went from "Generic monster #9384769386" into one of the most entertaining guys on the roster. They're calling him the Funkasaurus, for cripes sake! What more could you ask for? C'mon guys, it's pro wrestling, don't take it so seriously. If you're complaining about gimmicks like this, your head might have exploded in the early '90s version of the WWF.

The gimmick is already stale, cos he has no charisma. Mark henry matters so much that people are turning off in droves in record numbers, and the WWE share price is in its 5 year low cylce.... half of what it was 9 months ago.

It definitely was different. I am still not sure what to think about that. It will be difficult to take him seriously, that's for sure. But he SHOULD be taken seriously as he is almost 400lbs and can move. The dancing stuff was just a little too silly for him to be considered a contender. Gimmicks are fine but shouldn't each superstar's goal be to become a champion? Dancing will not get you there.
