Brodus Clay Dancing Around Nothing In Particular

Funk is on a roll! That is to say, Brodus Clay is still undefeated since coming to Raw with this gimmick he now has. However, he has been doing pretty much the same thing every single appearance. Dance, squash, and dance. Everyone he has beaten has belonged to the jobber ranks. All his matches have been short. He didn't actually compete in the Royal Rumble match, but still had a squash match at the PPV. This kind of treatment is fine for 2 or 3 weeks as a way to introduce him with this gimmick, but if you do not step it up, it will run stale. With Wrestlemania matters formulating and taking time on the shows, Brodus Clay can easily get lost in the shuffle. I do see them trying to do things a little different each time. His dancers now introduce him, as opposed to the regular announcer when he first debuted. They added that disco ball. He changes up his moves now and then. Do I mean his dance moves or his wrestling moves? Fact is, there is some development, but it is very slight. After a while, this will get boring.

Brodus needs a feud. On Smackdown a while back, they had Brodus squash William Regal while he was dancing. On the Raw after that, Regal did commentary during Brodus Clay's match. Obviously, the WWE has not continued in that direction. I think that is a bad idea. Not only can Brodus gain credibility from working with Regal in a real feud and real 5-minute match, but William Regal definitely has what it takes to make this feud entertaining. If the WWE thinks this is a feud only worthy of Superstars, the only viable option left is Jack Swagger. Yes, a U.S. title feud. They have pretty much written off Ryder for a while. If he just pops up next week after all Kane has done to him, ready to compete, that would be so Cena-like. So why not have Swagger feud with Brodus for a while? At least to Elimination Chamber? They should take advantage of Brodus Clay's overness before it runs stale. Too many squash matches are not the way to do it.
