So Brodus Clay was in another dark match for Smackdown.
Are they holding him off tv to keep the novelty going or are they going to repackage him? Are they just unsure what to do with him?
Keep 'em wanting more?
or
We don't know what to do?

Maybe they ran out of people to job in 20 seconds or they thought maybe he was being over exposed? Or both?

They need to give us time to forget about how awesome his theme song is, and want it more...then, when he returns- we shall thirst for it as if we've never heard it before.
I think maybe they just want a direction/feud for him to go in rather than endless squash matches. Didn't some report say HHH only wants guys being called up or given pushes if they had some kind of storyline in mind for them? This may be a prime example.

You can't just bring out squash matches like that for a long time anymore.
They and he have to decide, do we want to go down the gimmick character path? Do I want to be limited to comedy bits, and the occassional decent fued, and maybe if I am lucky a US or IC title run? Because with characters like that, that's all you can ever be. Nothing wrong with that really, but you have to really embrace that.
More than likely he will come out one day, start dancing, then beat up the funkettes and tell everyone that he is tired of being a joke, and the fans are all idiots and he is tired of being their dancing monkey.

Well then, hopefully somebody really does call his mamma. Women beater... I'm with you though. I was already tired of seeing the squash matches so hopefully they either decide to commit to the comedy routine and go with it or they pull the plug and send him a different route, but either way, the guy needs a direction.

Maybe he could help Swagger and they could feud for the US title. OR Rhodes and they could feud for the IC title. I can see them hot shotting this and giving him a title run pretty quickly.

This is not a shock....let's be honest, as entertaining as Brodus was the first couple of times, it got old fast.
I'm sorry, but his entrance was 57 times longer than the matches. For him to come out there and throw the same 2 moves and win in less than a minute in every match....as entertaining as the entrance was, this couldn't go on for very long. It was the SAME exact thing every time.
I would have loved to see him in longer matches, use more moves, and show how talented of a big man he really is....but WWE didn't change it up.

For something that was so great at first, it did get old ridiculously fast. I definitely think that's because they featured him on both Raw and Smackdown and every match he had was exactly the same. So over the course of one month, we basically rewatched the exact same segment eight times.

Maybe they stopped putting him in squash matches to come up with a storyline idea for him.

I read on one site (can't remember which) that he has only had one dancer with him in both dark matches this week. Maybe this has something to do with it.

I really hope that doesn;t happen, horrible idea. last thing we need is a another super serious heel.

I could see him in an Elimination Chamber match, not winning though, just in it

WWE should of left Brodus as he was, a Monster, I wouldnt be surprised if clay wants a change as he said he would prefer being a monster

He's getting over. They wont repackage him, they just need to find him a fued.

Poor booking for Brodus. First week was great and then creative f*cked it up.
Same with Sheamus at the moment, the booking for him is terrible.

I don't know why they don't just throw together a US title fued against Swagger. He's not doing anything, nor is Brodus. Makes sense.

I wonder who it is? As for Brodus being MIA I think like some that his skits got very old after a while. I mean the only thing that really changed were some jobbers and his and the ladies attires.
