Poor Clay - Debut is pushed for weeks, he finally makes it with a pretty over gimmick off the bat, and now gets depushed and will probably just show back up as himself in a few weeks. |

I feel like his gimmick doesnt lend well to "time off"
He needed to keep going to get that Rikiski like "comedy of a big man dancing" following. |

He must have gotten worse than on NXT then, looked like a fucking beast in the ring and didn't notice any botches. Maybe a little green, but a fuxking suplex machine.

His match were competent squash matches. Even live on Raw, I never noticed any botches. Goddammit.

Yeah, really don't get what WWE are doing here. The gimmick was actually getting over.

My only guess is that WWE may feel like his ring work isn't good enough to compete in longer matches or something. Problem is his gimmick doesn't really lend itself to non-squash matches anyway.

If they gave him more than 1 minute to do more than 3 moves they might have seen what he could do.

Maybe they did and didn't like what they saw and "demoted" him?

Maybe Ernest "The Cat" Miller's momma called Brodus Clay's momma to complain. WWE would have had to pull the plug, nobody wants a 3 time karate champion's momma coming down on them. If I could be Lance Storm for a minute though, I agree that though he was enjoyable to watch, I feel like squash matches were as far as this gimmick could take him.

Not sure what there wasn't to like in the ring considering as others have said, all he did was quick squash matches. He was being booked as a goofy dancing type wrestler and his in-ring style of him having fun worked out well with the crowd.
This situation is almost similar to when Curtis finally debuted only to disappear again after a couple of weeks. Must be some sort of curse from that season of NXT. |

Actually pissed off. As soon as they have a big man that can move, they dump him. I miss Husky Harris too. Then they put Big Show and Mark Henry in a feud for the top title and a man who can barely walk let alone wrestle in Khali into Smackdown's main even at the next PPV. |

St. Jimmy and Droford disliked him. I suddenly feel like a man with impeccable taste for loving him.

No chance. We all know that it's only Judy Bagwell who calls anybody to complain on behalf of her son.

Although this may sound a bit much, when he walked out that first time dancing, with the chicks, I was so excited. Not just for him, who I enjoyed, but for SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT.
Comedy can sell in the WWE and I miss these types of characters. Santino was gold, but has run his course. I just felt like with Punk, Danielson as champs, Work Horses like Ziggler main eventing, and some new gimmicks, things were going to swing in a new direction. Then It got derailed by this, Taker vs HHH 3, Khali etc. |

He's gotta come back relatively soon with the gimmick in tact for he's fucked.
Seriously, he was one of the best things going. He brought a fun feeling that WWE hadn't consistently seen in a REALLY long time. He needs to be part of WrestleMania. |
