Brodus Matures

Brodus Clay is still undefeated. Otunga did not defeat him in the pre-show match last night. More importantly, Brodus was an instrumental part in Big Show's loss in the main event. Obviously, Big Show made a few enemies during the course of the storyline, and that came back to haunt him.

This is the kind of Brodus Clay that I was hoping for 2 or 3 months ago. This is more than just squash matches against the regular jobbers on the roster. The WWE is finally having this guy show he is more than just a dancing comedy character. This is good character development. From here, Brodus can continue to be used in more regular feuds.

Where should he go from here? An obvious answer would be a legitimate feud with Big Show. I don't see any need to continue Cena/Show. As everyone knows, those two have already been in various feuds over the years already. I would also say that now would be the time to finally develop a midcard title feud for Brodus, but there is an obvious problem with that. The U.S. and Intercontinental Championships are held by faces. A heel would have to win them first, then eventually transition to a feud with Brodus. That would take a while. Big Show and Cena does not need to continue, and some fans may hate if it does, so a feud between Big Show and Brodus Clay would be great. Start developing a new big man.

And in something completely unrelated, I was watching one of those old-time shows. It wasn't a wrestling show. The host passed along some interesting words of wisdom. He said, "A rumor is like a check- don't endorse it until you're sure it's genuine." Probably heard it before, but just keep it in mind.
