WWE Bio

Is it funky in here or is it just Brodus Clay? The only living, breathing Funkasaurus in captivity, the 375-pound dancing machine has descended from Planet Funk on a mission to move booties and mash bodies. Confused? Think of it this way—Brodus Clay is a rump shaker, and his opponents’ backbones are the dance floor. Hotstepping onto Raw in January of 2012, the boogie man shocked those WWE fans who were expecting the hyped Superstar to be more Hall of Pain than Soul Train. Indeed, the former bodyguard had been a humorless thug during his stint on WWE NXT season four and his brief time in the corner of Alberto Del Rio, but he’s clearly marching to a different tune. Keeping the beat while he keeps on beating opponents, Clay has barreled through the likes of Curt Hawkins, JTG and William Regal with his signature running splash. It’s the type of performance that demands attention, but if The Funkasaurus’ serious strength and outlandish attitude don’t grab you, his “Funkadactyls”—Naomi and Cameron, the two beautiful ladies in skintight catsuits shaking it by his side—certainly will. This trio is bringing some much-needed fun to the ring with their own dance, dance revolution. After being defeated by a scheming Damien Sandow on the August 21, 2012 edition of Raw, Brodus took matters into his own hands and brutalized WWE’s self-described martyr following the contest. Got a problem with this dino’s funk? Then somebody better call Clay’s momma.

Breakdown

Brodus Clay is a lot of fun to play. He’s light on abilities, but he’s got few cool Signature Moves and Finishers to showcase. Although he is relatively new to the spotlight in the real-world ring, he has built quite a following in the WWE and is rated a 90 in Charisma, so taunts bring some trademark funkiness to the ring (sadly, sans backup dancers). We mixed up quick strikes with a running grapple (a one-handed bulldog) to work momentum into our favor and gain the advantage. Being a big guy, he utilizes body splashes and big grapples to do damage, and we are particularly fond of his Ah Funk It. Whip your opponent into a corner and let him rip with this big body avalanche Signature Move. Take your opponent down with a Fall of Humanity Finisher for a flashy pin and a win.
