It kinda pisses me off when WWE keep doing this. They did it with Kozlov, Big Zeke and recently Mason Ryan. They push a guy and realise he sucks and then basically kill the push and thats the end of a decent push that could have gone to someone else. I liked Brodus Clay, for a big man he was decent in the ring, and had tonnes of charisma to entertain with, so even though they could have had plenty of time to work on things like in-ring style while he was still in development, they decide to hype him up for forever, have him debut and get himself over after a couple of weeks, and then drop him.

I just was exicted for some "new" possibilities and it seems to be settling back to where its been. I get the Taker HHH angle selling, and am fine with it. Just an example.

I also was trying to figure out why they pulled Clay up with this new gimmick during the very busy wrestlemania season, where many people get temporarily slid to the side for the major angles.

...lemme see if I have this right....


They hype up this monster for weeks, he comes back as Fat Funk, and then they decide he doesn't have enough polish on him to work?

After the weeks and weeks of hype they couldn't send him to FCW to refine his skills a bit more, and then they bring him back... Really? WWE got me to care about a gimmick based on how fucking absurd it was, and now they're taking him out? At least he could be Teddy Long's new assistant to keep him on tv.

I didnt see anything wrong with his ring work,not that you really saw much, but he was getting over with a comedy gimmick so why not run with it? Let him work longer matches and cut promos on house shows to develop rather than stopping his push altogether...i miss suplex machines.

If they had given him a spot in the rumble for like 2-7 minutes instead of that squash Mcintyre match it would've given him a better chance to show some moves, selling, and eventually, his character's mortality, cause he wouldn't have won.

I dunno. I certainly hope to see more Funkasaurus on TV soon. Everyone from the hardcore fans, to the casual fans, even to non-fans, seem to love the hell out of this gimmick.

I just don't get it from what I've seen on tv he seems compitent enough mind you his matches are short which makes it hard to gauge so the whole house show theory is probably right.

I'm beginning to think FCW's the problem. Bar only half their the Nexus, barely anyone has done anything decent after getting called up. Even then, Wade was in OVW for a while and Slater in DSW.

Don't know if they need new trainers down there to show them the "WWE Style" or what.

Did some research. The only guys regularly on main TV that started their WWE development in FCW are:

Sheamus
Daniel Bryan
The Usos
Ted DiBiase
Justin Gabriel
Epico
Hunico

It's no wonder they're picking up experienced indie guys now, they clearly can't shake the green off the guys they hire. Barring Sheamus, every single one of them is either 2nd/3rd generation or made an alright name for themselves elsewhere first.

I don't watch indy wrestling anymore as I don't have the time to keep up and the ROH TV show is shit, but I hope they keep using those promotions as their wrestling school and grabbing the cream of the crop, because taking green guys is fucking suicide for them.

I'm going by wiki pages, so I will bow to any other sources, but it says he just debuted in October 2006 in FCW.

And many of the 2nd/3rd generation guys started training with Harley.

Maybe these are some crazy ideas:

1. Maybe selecting the developmental territory based on it's proximity to places you like to go clubbing is a BAD idea?

2. Maybe they should have a competent school with a solid track record of turning out good workers.

What caused the split with OVW anyway? OVW produced damn near every new big name of the 2000s.

Thumbs up
And when Heyman was booking, a damn fine wrestling show that was comparable to the main brands in terms of booking.

The Johnny Jeter V Matt Cappotelli feud for the OVW title was amazing.

WWE decided that instead of paying OVW and DSW, and butting heads with their bookers, that Steve Keirn could just do it in florida. They would save money and get to do it THEIR way.

Jim Cornette has a really good insider take on it. Basically points out how John Laurenitis is a fucking munger.

Other big thing I want to point out:

Funkasaurus is being scaled back because he "can't work," yet Otunga is still allowed to wrestle...
