On getting back in the ring in WWE with “Somebody Call My Momma” gimmick: “You didn’t know who to listen to. You don’t know who your friends are. So many talking heads around there. It wasn’t very fun. I was in WCW I had a great time, but not one time did they say the character didn’t work. The writers in WWE told me they didn’t know what to do with the character and now they got this big old fat ass dancer out there using the call my momma thing.” On Brodus Clay stealing his gimmick: “I haven’t watched it. I’ve nothing against him, he’s working for a company. I feel like someone told him to do it. He’s trying to make it work. Many fans have said he’s not as good as me and it made me popular without being on the TV show. It’s a little more than dancing. I was an athlete, I could wrestle. WWE had so many people afraid of their jobs, they never let me develop into what it could be. People like this guy out there dancing and saying call my momma, but he’s not the original. I could’ve made it work so in other words, I’m a little pissed off about it.” I only took a little from the article. Since this was only worth a read Full article here www.prowrestlingscoops.com/wwe/wwe-news/ernest-the-cat-miller-at-brodus-clays-wwe-gimmick/I never even heard of this guy  |

Earnest Miller was great, but to think his gimmick had any more potential than what it really achieved in the WWE isn't that realistic. He was great, funny, but was never going to win many titles.
The thing that makes it work for Brodus is the fact that he's a big guy, who's pretty good in the ring. It's not totaly the same character, there's some differences. I don't think he should be pissed about it, his time has passed and as he's said, he's not even watched it.

The greatest thing he was ever involved with was when they actually got James Brown to come to a WCW ppv and they danced together.

I'm not even a Brodus fan, but don't be jealous that Clay actually got over doing this crap and you didn't, Cat. I always remember an interview Cat did in mid-2004 after WWE released him, and he was like "So WWE can come up with something for that John Cena guy to do but not me?" lol. Sour grapes, that's all. He was only ever in WWE because Bischoff pulled some strings to get him a job.

He's got a point about the music... that's it.
Miller wasn't the first dancing gimmick, and Clay won't be the last. It's a stable in wrestling, lame, but a stable none the less.

Just released Brodus Clay already they guy is horrible in the ring. There is no competition between him and Ernest who does it better and can actually wrestle. I'm tired brodus having squash matches just get the guy off my tv the gimmick is old it's a ripoff off of Ernest. You can see Ernest in his old WCW matches and who can forget his moment in part of the Royal Rumble 2004.

Pretty sure he is upset with creative bot Brodus. Either way Cat was entertaining Brodus is annoying.
