I get why people like Clay. He seems charismatic, creative and he's not that bad in the ring (far better as a heel than a face). I'm not too keen to see him near the main event, though. I can see him get an occasional monster shot or as a bodyguard to some heels.

That spoiler doesn't really say much, but the fact that it happened on Main Event kinda does.

Maybe THAT'S what he meant by 'Main Event Player'. He will now be exclusive to Main Event. Just like when Raven was banished from Raw and he made Sunday Night Heat his personal playground.

I was thinking about Shad Gaspard the other day. I never thought he was brilliant in the ring or anything, but he had size and charisma. It's a shame that didn't work out.

Cryme Tyme was an awesome tag team.

They always felt like...not Tag Team Champion material me? Does that make sense? I liked both guys and thought they were charismatic as fuck, but I just didn't want to see them face any teams. That has probably changed since they've been gone so long. Cryme Tyme vs. The Usos could be a pretty good feud actually. But yeah, I always thought the money was in the split and the Shawn Michaels/Diesel dynamic between them.

It's a shame JTG's not doing anything. The guy's not a bad worker, but the real money is in just how effortless he is on the mic and how he can get a crowd instantly pumped. Even if they just wanted to give him a trial as a manager or something.

They were an actual tag team and they were entertaining. In this day and age, with a little push to make them relevant that would be enough to them tag team championship material.
Hell, Deuce and Domino were tag champs for quite a while. (I fucking loved Deuce and Domino but without being pushed to it, they wouldn't have "felt like" tag team championship material either.) |

I will forever hate Deuce N' Domino for taking the WWE Tag Team Championship off Paul London & Brian Kendrick.

They should get a pass for having one of the greatest wrestling themes of all time.

This is the first time I've listened to that theme on its own, all the way through, and it is a pretty brilliant production. Kudos.
Isn't Cliff Compton with ROH now? |

I'm not sure how necessary that last post was, but let's go ahead and chalk this one up as a "probably not".

Once Big Show retires for good, I could see Clay being the new "Big Man who can go as a face or heel depending on which way we need him".

He could have been good if they hadn't tarred him with that whole Dinosaur thing.... Now that thats come to an end, he will likely have a failed run as a heel. Mainly to to the fact that nobody watching will take him anywhere near seriously enough to be seen as a threat..
But He will always be JBL's 'Pick' at The Royal Rumble due to his sheer size. |

Mark Henry still hasn't come back since he was blown by a tranny, or conceived a hand with Mae Young, or gotten sent to developmental for being fat, or injured, or Sexual Chocolate.

People aren't taking him seriously as a threat because he's jobbing to R-Truth and Xavier Woods.

He could be a top guy if he changes his physique a bit, its kinda all over the place.

Seriously, I can't think of a good reason this wasn't on Raw. They struggle to fill 3 hours as it is.

Kinda want Tensai to turn too. Tons of Funk (with a new name) as a big man team causing havoc in the tag division would be pretty good.

I was actually just starting to like them as a team. I'd be for a Tensai turn too.

Tensai could be a fun babyface, but I just don't see him getting the opportunity to really run with it.
