The Wrestling 5 & 1 01.14.12: Kaitlyn Versus Velvet!
Posted by Greg De Marco on 01.14.2012
Kaitlyn challenges Velvet Sky in Vs, Brodus Clay makes a huge debut as the Funkasaurus, Edge and The Four Horsemen get Hall of Fame inductions, Johnny Gargano closes down the ECW Arena, Brooke Tessmacher is your “&1” Model of the Week and more!
I have no clue why a woman would ever get in to wrestling. The pay for them is shit, the glass ceiling on their career is obvious, and the respect level is about on par with midgets(the Chelsea Handler joke at Beth Phoenix's expense is perfect proof of this).
Posted By: Guest#1941
I don't know the answer to your question about why a woman would get into wrestling. But there are people I can ask...
No more chances for Mickie. She was hot for about six months when she was stalking Trish, but ever since then her career, and her sex appeal, have taken a nose dive.
Posted By: Guest#0873
She made it within one victory of the Hall not once, but twice. After each, everyone wanted her to get more chances, saying she just went down to future members of the Hall. But that goodwill seems to have expired.
Sure TNA has gotten better recently. It always has when Hogan and Bishoff find themselves elsewhere for a while, like last summer. Check it out, ratings did go up then.
But after a 4-6 weeks they go back to their old habits. Oddly, this tells me Russo can be a good booker for a little bit, until the Ritalin wears off.
So until they prove to me they can have the control to keep booking right, I will watch with some trepidation. They are working against a decade of history here.
Posted By: Guest#0149
That's my fear.
I don't know why people expect women to be loyal to wrestling, or at least big wrestling companies, when the companies aren't so loyal to women.
Posted By: Guest#0657
There is no loyalty in wrestling. Male or female, a promotion is going to stick you if you're either a) making money, or b) someone they see money-making potential in.
Because women are fucking stupid for pursuing wrestling as their primary career. Rain got a bunch of surgery on her face and she'll NEVER be signed by WWE.
Much respect to the chicks that treat the business like the whore it is and quit once they get a name. Kelly will be the next one.
Posted By: Guest#0922
First off, Rain got some injections. She didn't have any surgery. And she didn't get implants, as they weren't needed. But she is in the minority. I know plenty of indy chicks that have had implants and will never make it. And I know a few that are now at 30 and won't get another shot, but they might have gotten if they had implants. The name Erica D'Erico comes to mind (Google it).
HELL yes to Tara. I thought she was hot as Victoria years ago and she is STILL hotter than hell.
Posted By: Hitman
Okay. Yes to Tara. Noted.
I have nothing but faith in Y2J. He has a plan and I think it'll work gloriously. Like most, I think it's CM Punk vs. Jericho at WM28, and I couldn't be more excited. These two are top notch on the mic and the in the ring. It's time to find out who is truly the BEST IN THE WORLD!
Posted By: SteveyMac
Jericho's first appearance is getting a pass from those who might not have liked it on its own. But it can't stand on its own, it's part of a larger story. It's the beginning, not the end. Just like Bound For Glory.
Wouldn't mind a Barrett v Lesnar WM 29 match. By that time Wade should be a legit maineventer and hopefully had a world title reign.
Posted By: Ryan Haseldine
Exactly. And Barrett's reputation as a bare-knuckle fighter can actually come in handy!
I question bringing Brock back as a face. He always made for a boring, terrible face. If he does in fact make a return to WWE, I would bring him in as a monster heel who thinks he is above wrestling (ala Hollywood Rock), and eventually feed him to Cena - who has been the poster boy for "I'm here every night because I love this business," or whoever the next hot babyface may be.
Posted By: The TradeMark Experience
I think he gets a face reaction to start, and you use it to elevate Barrett. Once that issue is resolved at WM29, you build to Lesnar-Cena at SummerSlam.
TNA just needs consistency and they will move in the right direction. A part of me would like for them to bring back the 6 sided ring or at least make it an attraction. They have the talent they just don't have the right bookers.
Posted By: watever87
I've given up on the 6-sided ring. I'm fine with four sides if the booking and talent are right.
The booking of the last two matches pretty much intersects. I'd like to see both Storm and Roode going over, then moving directly into their feud for the belt. If Angle wins, I'm going to be really nervous about the possibility of Hardy winning the title. Which would make me sick. To my stomach. Probably literally.
Posted By: the ghost of Buddy Rogers
Storm losing made sense, and Roode losing by DQ also made sense. Looks like several rematches in store at Against All Odds, unless they go with a 3-or-4-way (spoiler free for me!).
SO once again, just from the videos, and the videos ALONE, what the hell made all you people know it was Jericho coming back. Honestly I NEVER EVER EEEEEVAH saw or thought these promos were for him.
Legit answers only! Trolls go be "An Hero"
Posted By: Markus M. Markison
I think there are a few factors at play. Last year's videos were for The Undertaker, so most people didn't expect a repeat. Most also expected the promos to be intended to make us think it was ‘Taker, meaning most of what we saw was meaningless. And there was that whole "Chris" on the notebook thing.
You're right about the TNA front. They're finally doing something productive with their roster. There's hiccups along the way but it's more or less on course. Too bad they're doing it at a time when interest in TNA is at an all time low.
Posted By: Guest#9582
As long as they keep things right, people will come back. Wrestling fans are cyclical. TNA just needs to be patient—which is very hard in wrestling.
There are times where I think you rig the votes so you don't have to add somebody to the Hall of Bang. Seriously.
Sunny. Can't vote against a classic.
Posted By: Nickels And Vines
Can't say that I do. Rain would have been in, and Buggy would be in, too. I keep it legit.
All of you!
And...
Confusing, I know...
Monday's RAW featured the anticipated return of Brodus Clay. Words cannot do justice what we saw when it happened. The response to the actions captured in the YouTube video above is pretty much split down the middle. Some people hate what the WWE did. Others absolutely love it. One thing that you can't argue is that generic monster heel Brodus Clay destroying a jobber to the stars like Curt Hawkins would not have gotten the response that this got...
Complete with Ernest "The Cat" Miller's WWE theme, Brodus Clay returned to a changed man. Gone was the standard issue black singlet—replaced by a shiny red singlet, and it was paired with a matching track suit. The menacing and ominous music was replaced with the funky beats we all heard on that night. Brodus didn't grunt or scream like monsters, instead he yelled out catchphrases to keep things going. For some people it was just what the doctor ordered. For others, it was a huge disappointment.
But why is it such a disappointment to so many? I think the answer is pretty simple—the WWE didn't do what those fans wanted them to do. People wanted Brodus to be a heel monster—much like his NXT & Superstars appearances. Yet the problems with that plan are plentiful. By the third or fourth week, people would start asking if the WWE is going to do anything with Brodus, because we're getting the same match over & over again. In fact, those complaining have no room to complain. They've supported far worse gimmicks in the past.
But I'm solidly with the opposite. Anyone listening to The Greg DeMarco show from Tuesday knows that I feel there's far more potential in The Funkasaurus than The Generic Monster. Brodus Clay has shown so much charisma in brief performances during his NXT run and his time protecting Alberto Del Rio. It doesn't mean he can't be a killer when provoked.
I read on multiple sites that there's "more money" in the old Brodus Clay. That's just crazy. The old Brodus would sell like 8 t-shirts, and wouldn't get any reaction from the fans. The new Brodus—The Funkasaurus—will climb into the WWEShop Top 10 as soon as they can crank out the necessary merchandise to do so.
Mark my words: "The Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay will be a major star in the WWE.
You Decide: How successful will Brodus Clay be in the WWE?
Another highlight of RAW was the announcement of the first two inductees into the WWE Hall of Fame for 2012. The ceremony takes place on March 31, and the line-up is already shaping up to be amazing. That includes the greatest stable of all time, who go in as a group. The Four Horsemen. While there have been many iterations of the Horsemen, the group being inducted consists of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham and J.J. Dillon. And there's no better combo to use.
Those would be my top choice as well. as a kid, I loved the Horsemen. They're the reason I started cheering for the heels. Or as I called them as a kid, the "rule breakers." It was fun to cheer when Arn & Tully came running in to interfere in one of Flair's matches.
The interesting aspect is the exclusion of Lex Luger. You could argue for Luger's induction into the Hall of Fame, but that's predicated on the fact that guys like Koko B. Ware are in the Hall. But if you ask Luger, well... Hell, we can ask him ourselves! Busted Open Radio did, and Luger was very candid.
Barry Windham obviously is a wonderful choice. I know he has some health struggles. What an honor that would be and maybe a real boost to both Barry and his father who also has some health issues. I think that would be very cool at the Hall of Fame to see Barry get inducted. ... My career in retrospect and you guys know the place I'm in, in my life right now and to be mentioned in the same breath with the famed Four Horsemen. To be a part of that in the time I was. I think Barry is a wonderful selection. I'll be there to give him a standing ovation and cheer him on. I am happy I was ever a part of that group so I don't feel slighted at all."
So if Lex isn't upset, then I can't be either. Luger is in a great place for himself, and his attitude is one full of thankful humility. Good for him. And he's right. Good for Barry Windham, too.
But do you want my opinion? Sure you do. You're reading my column! Lex Luger, Barry Windham and Arn Anderson are Hall of Famers on their own. Tully, JJ, Ole can go in as "Horsemen."
Regardless, the WWE is really going all out for this Hall of Fame. They want Flair in town for the ceremony. And you know he'll be there. He's Ric Flair!
You Decide: Do you like the induction? What do you think about Luger? Will Flair appear?
Edge was announced as the first inductee for 2012, and he will be the headliner of this year's class. Edge is being inducted at the first ceremony after his retirement, the equivalent of a first ballot Hall of Famer. And he's 100% deserving of that honor.
In 2004, I said that the window of opportunity for Edge was closing—and fast. I felt like it was time to strike, and if that time passed, it would be over for him. It was nearly two full years later that Edge would win his first world title. In 2011, he eleventh and final reign ended when the belt was vacated by retirement. Edge had grown into a sure thing in the wrestling business, and he obviously put his body through hell to do it. His retirement caused a total shuffling of the deck at the WWE Draft. And his presence is sorely missed.
Edge's career has been chronicled recently, thanks to his unfortunate retirement. There is no need to rehash it once more. But Edge deserves a ton of credit for being one of the very best in the world. Completely deserving of first ballot Hall of Fame status.
You Decide: Is Edge the right choice to headline the 2012 WWE Hall of Fame?
Man, it's a great time to be a DeMarcette! Four amazingly beautiful women, each loaded with the potential for big things in the wrestling business. Well, things are starting to happen for each...

I would think 90% of the audience not knowing who Trish Stratus was when she showed up last year is the best example of how incredibly unpopular womens wrestling is. If someone as "iconic" as her has already been forgotten, then they might as well fold the entire division.
Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson have the right idea. Screwing A-listers is about the only hope these divas have of ever being semi-relevant.

Kaitlyn is a bit too muscular for my tastes, but I'm still voting Kaitlyn over Velvet because...well, how do I say this nicely?

Brodus can be successful in WWE. Not because of the Funkasaurus bit, but because he is throwing himself into it. I think Creative comes up with more stuff for wrestlers who put effort into previous stuff that didn't do so well.
Posted By: Guest#5645 (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 12:49 AM
Well Kaitlyn made it in the Hall, but she's not getting past Velvet.
Brodus Clay's new gimmick sure is something... I mean, no one expected it & its pretty funny. But I don't think its going to last or help Brodus in the long run.
And Thanks for keeping us up to date on The DeMarcettes.

Posted By: It's true (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 01:20 AM
I'm alright with the 4 Horseman and Edge being inducted in this year's HOF, though I can totally understand how some people are reacting to Edge's pick being so soon. Especially since some assume that they'd just put him in whenever they held an upcoming WM in Toronto. As far as the Horsemen goes, it'll be interesting to see whether Flair shows up for it or not. My guess (and this is just a guess) is that it might be more TNA's decision than his. Also, with the Horsemen going in it makes you wonder if they're going to acknowledge some of the other members of the horsemen like Sting, Sid Vicious, Benoit, and of course the two greatest horsemen of all time...Paul Roma and Mongo McMichael!
Posted By: The Hodge (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 01:21 AM
This Brodus Clay thing absolutely sucks because it's nothing more than a gimmick straight out of 1989 WWF that has no legs beyond a cartoon gimmick. Besides, listen to that music, they actually completely stole JUNGLE BOOGIE. Hope Kool & the Gang sue them.

As for Funkasaurus, if he has any pull with Snoop Dog then this could be the greatest gimmick of this year! Can you imagine Snoop getting involved? Funkalicious!
Also, not too excited about Edge for this year. It's nice that they aren't taking the chance that he'll be crippled or worse in the future. But he only *JUST* retired. If they don't pull the trigger on a Savage nod, I'll be pretty disappointed.

Brodus Clay can become the next Rikishi (a solid midcarder/attraction) if the bookers and writers don't F things up. as the old generic "monster" heel, Clay would be going nowhere in a hurry. while i was shocked at his repackaging, i can see potential with the gimmick.
now if we could only get rid of the Wendys chick and Jinder Mahal. (seriously, Christ Masters and Kozlov were let go, but not them?)
Posted By: i8mypants (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 07:30 AM
Greg, spot on about Brodus Clay! Certain fans are mad, because they "didn't get what they wanted". I refer to this as the "playlist" mentality. With smartphones and gadgets today, we get EXACTLY what we want and if that doesn't happen, people throw a fit. It's not just Brodus that gets hit with this, but anything.

On the subject of the Horsemen, it seems to me that HHH must be taking the reigns in the back what with a feud with Nash, and now a Flair recongized induction, when he's not even a part of the company. Don't get me wrong - I LOVE that the Horsemen are being inducted, but it seems like this would happen once Flair's contract was up with TNA. Do you think it's possible that Flair's contract is about up and that he'll sign back with WWE with a Legend's contract?

Velvet is the hottest woman in wrestling
I'm all for WWE giving Brodus a gimmick other than "monster heel",but I wish they would have come up with something more original.This feels like a retread of JYD/Ernest Miller/P.N.News/Godfather/Flash Funk/Men on a Mission/Viscera's world's Largest Love Machine

Not to take anything away from Kaitlyn. She's no slouch, and unlike Layla and Brooke she's not a butterface either.
Posted By: guest (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 12:24 PM
Rikishi rode a similar gimmick to what Brodus is doing for years, so why not let him ride it a bit. And when it fizzles, he will turn on his dancers and morph to the monster heal maybe around the time Henry and/or Kane hang them up.
Posted By: APrince66 (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 12:30 PM
The Four Horsemen in the HOF is long overdue. They set the standard for what a great faction should be.
They had the benefit of having JCP really allowing them to live the gimmick.
It's funny, I know Evolution launched Orton and Batista into main event status, but Evolution wasn't near the group the Horsemen were.
The only complaint I have is that Ole really should go in as well. The original group was truly amazing and yes, Barry did improve it so it's not a major thing but it is just something I'd like to point out.

Posted By: Guest#2299 (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 01:03 PM
Kaitlyn.
As for Brodus, it was interesting for sure, but I worry about it's long-term viability. How many silly/cartoony gimmicks have lasted and, more importantly, gotten the guy to permanent and successful spot? Triple H had to ditch the Blue Blood gimmick before he won the world title. The Undertaker and Yokozuna may be exceptions (I would even argue they aren't cartoony) but both were treated very seriously. Is Funkasaurus a gimmick that can be taken seriously over a long period of time? I don't believe so. Was he funny in the ring? Yes, and it will help that he looked like he wants the gimmick to work. But long-term, I'm not sure how successful this can be, especially once he gets into a feud with someone. It shouldn't be about merch first, and a sustainable gimmick second. If the gimmick is sustainable first, the merch sales will follow. Obviously, we just have to wait and see. A good showing in the Rumble will help, certainly.
Also, on a side note, I heard a rumor that Clay initially came up with the Hall of Pain gimmick, but they gave it to Mark Henry instead. Any truth to that?

Have to vote for Kaitlyn, cause I haven't been liking a lot of Velvet's recent picks and appearances.
Completely agree with your take on Brodus. Sure, way before then (like on Superstars & NXT), I was really looking forward to Brodus coming in and wreaking havoc, but in the current climate, the roster has various monsters and is very heel-heavy anyway.
This "Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay may not win a WHC/WWE Title, but neither did Rikishi or Godfather, and for awhile, they were HUGELY popular. And since Clay is new, it's not like he can't drop that gimmick cold turkey in the future and heel it up. That would be an already built in storyline.

And just to add on about Brodus Clay, with Kane & Mark Henry basically being monsters, there's no need for another. That's a reason Mike Knox, Heidenreich, Kozlov, Snitsky and a couple others failed, cause they all really had the same gimmick (well, Heidenreich and Snitsky were terrible in the ring too).

The Funkasaurus has done exactly what needed to be done....get people talking about him. In a very forgetable 'monster heel' amongst a sea of them (Kane, Henry etc) then Clay fades into the background. Now, well there's loads of comments on this one page alone about him, and that's half the battle won already

funkasaurus clay sucks because it's NOT BELIEVABLE!!! the guy can't dance. he's clearly not a pimp or playa' in any way.
rikishi could dance & get into that character. ernie miller was believable as a dancing goober. so was disco inferno. the character was part of who they were.
this is clearly a gimmick forced onto a guy who has no business dancing anywhere.

Totally agreed on Brodus Clay. Especially with so many other monsters around, doing a generic "big bad monster" gimmick would have doomed Clay to obscurity and possibly a post-Wrestlemania release. If you want to know what would happen to Clay without the Funkasaurus gimmick, compare Ezekiel Jackson last year to Ezekiel Jackson now.
Besides, the guy is really great at it. He's got the mannerisms down, the gyrations, the shout-outs to the crowd, everything. He looks like he's genuinely having fun out there, and that is infectious.
But then again, I like Chikara, so what do I know?

I would guess that there'll be at least one more bigger name for the HOF this year. My vote would be for Booker T, who I think is deserving but probably isn't at the level of a HOF headliner.
Also, I've never really heard a good explanation for why the Freebirds aren't in the hall. They were sooooo over in their day and drew a ton of money for every promotion they worked for. I guess just cause they weren't really WWF guys at the time.

Erm, what response, you mean from the commentry team? Because I didn't hear much from the audience.
At least Brodus was into the gimmick, maybe when it stops catching people by surprise it'll catch on. Don't forget he used to be Snoop Dogg's bodyguard or something like that, so I'm sure they'll mention that if they give him a bit of backstory or something.

"The Funkasaurus" will be huge, for a little while at least. There's a group of older fans who enjoy WWE in a, shall we say, 'ironic' fashion - good old fun entertainment, not to be taken seriously. And an OTT silly and fun gimmick like Clay's been given will sell t-shirts to those fans.
I was even more impressed with the WWE.com promo that followed his debut - the man can talk. No reason why he can't parlay that into further success when this gimmick turns stale, as it will eventually.
Posted By: Scotty (Guest) on January 14, 2012 at 11:46 PM
The 5 - Clay's success in WWE has less to do with his gimmick and more to do with how WWE books him. I love what I saw this past Monday. Brodus is invested in an entertaining character, yet was still allowed to look dominant in his match. We'll see where it goes from there.
I'm of the belief that there are no bad characters, gimmicks or genres - but any of those can be used in bad stories or fall victim to poor storytelling. The Funkasaurus could be a huge star in the WWE. I hope that he is allowed to keep the fun, comedic aspects of the characters and still look strong, a la a Colt Cabana. I worry that he'll do the WWE big man, mid-card shuffle and alternate between goofy face and monster heel as Henry, Kane and Show have throughout their careers. But maybe we are entering a creative period where characters can have multiple aspects of their personalities that are emphasized or downplayed based on their current feud? Pro wrestling can grow and differentiate itself from MMA by embracing the benefits that being scripted affords it, not by ignoring or apologizing for them.
The 4 - Tully could absolutely go in on his own! From his time with Baby Doll through the Horsemen to the Brain Buster days in WWF, he's as or more accomplished than several HoFers. But I love the Horsemen going in as a group, and truly hope Flair is there. I'd like to see them officially recognize Ole and Luger, but it is nothing but Vince's pretend club for his friends, so...
The 3 - this seems too early or something, you know? I never had any doubt that Edge would get in, and I guess HBK & SCSA set the standard for quick turn entries after retirement, but I thought it would make more sense to induct Rock in Miami and save Edge for Canada. But I guess they're hoping that Rock stays semi-active for a while longer. And then again, it is nothing but a ticket and DVD sales revenue generator...
The 2 - love Veda's Lois Lane gimmick in that Video Wire
Vs - Kaitlyn. And put me down as voting for her until she runs into Layla.

Can we use our brains now?
Edge obviously is a HOF. Best heel of the 00's. If not him...who else? He's at least in the top 3 if you don't agree with that. FIVE years as a main eventer. FIVE years in the midcard. FOUR years in the tag divison when it was its best.
They aren't doing WM in Canada next year so why wait a year? Rock will wrestle at least one more time after Cena so why HOF him now? Putting Savage in this year makes it look like he had to die to get in.

Posted By: Reaper-NG (Guest) on January 15, 2012 at 05:11 AM
I was shocked to hear of Brodus Clays debut and subsequent repackaging but I agree with you that had they went down The Monster Heel (TM) route of squashes and menacing looks into the camera he could have ended up just becoming another one of the many casualties fed to a main eventer at some PPV and then conveniently forgotten about with nothing to do "creatively" (See Vladmir Koslorov, Heidenreich, The Great Khali - while not greatin the exact same way and somewhat ironically turned into comedy characters when their respective monster runs came to an end)
It looks like Brodus Clay is channelling Dusty Rhodes and to be fair it was a decent debut (albiet, contradicting myself earlier - a squash match) however the first thing I thought of all this was "Beaver Cleavage" (stay with me) - could it be they have given him an extremely cheesy gimmick just for him to pull the old "Worked Shoot" denouncing himself as The Funkasauras and destorying a few mofos? Perhaps it could be the Monster Turn in reverse? From Clown to Monster instead of Monster to Clown? I can't help but feel if this is Brodus's character in the long term (hey, it is all about the money and as you noted - if the kids love him, the gimmicks a stick on) then atleast that would be a decent way to turn him and breath life back into his character once the whole shtick gets stale - although that is not exactly a guaranteed success (see Fatu, Rikisih)

Funkasaurus = booking flexibility.
This is an interesting gimmick and Clay looks to be having fun with it. The bookers could even use his "good time" attitude as his Achilles Heel.
At that point, serious heel Clay could come out and destroy everyone. It makes him a dynamic character -- fun to watch progress. It would seem to be difficult to go the other way (monster heel to dancing fool), so I understand the debut.

Vince doesn't pick Ole because they hate each other. Sad, but true. Ole, Arn, Tully, and Ric were the originals, and no disrespect to Barry, THAT should be the grouping going in.

Who am I defending?
Just telling you that your gimmick is old. Doesn't matter if you're talking about a woman or any guy for that matter. If you think you're being an effective troll, then good for you I suppose.
Internet is so shitty nowadays with all these wannabe trolls. Just being normal is becoming the new "troll".

You're one of the guys on this site that talk about Trish as if she were the most beautiful woman alive. You also respond every time somebody says something negative about her. Pretty sad considering how much she probably looks down on wrestling nerds like you.

Thick(ish) blonde girls, don't make me choose between them!
"How successful will Brodus Clay be in the WWE?"
I think regardless of the gimmick the biggest question mark with Clay is can he have a match longer than 5 minutes?

I hope that Vince gives credit where it's due a FINALLY inducts Randy Savage into the HOF. He should have been the headliner, Edge should have gone in next year in Toronto.
