Brodus Clay Calls WWE 'The Triple H Factory'
The former "Funkasaurus" believes his time in WWE was a missed opportunity.
George Murdoch, who was formerly billed as Brodus Clay in WWE and currently wrestles as Tyrus for TNA Wrestling, recently took part in an interview with The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling. During the interview, Murdoch was asked to reflect upon his time spent with WWE. Murdoch was questioned about performers not being given the opportunity to break-through and excel in WWE. His response was interesting, to say the least.
You see it happen all the time in the WWE. Guys who should no doubt be on the top of the card and be main eventers. Guys like Cesaro. There is no reason why he shouldnt be on his second World Title run, guys like Jack Swagger, Big E the list goes on and on of guys that are there right now that could change the game. The Triple H factory as I call it seems to be running the show and the ratings result in it. Hopefully someone is able to change that and break through. The last guy to break through was Daniel Bryan and he was able to be bigger then the machine. If this was 20 years ago the fans would have crazy choices of people to choose from. There were so many stars. I feel like that has been taken away from the fans.Furthermore, Murdoch went on to talk about transitioning to TNA and working as a legitimize his work in the squared circle.
I was focused on re-establishing my work. Especially during the end of my time in the WWE, and I feel like I wasnt able to do that. For me it was important to get back to what I think is important and that is building your work. I spent so much time under Double A and Dean Malenko. Ive never wanted to be labeled as a big guy. I feel like the term big guy is a crutch and gives you an excuse to be lazy in the ring. I dont work like that. Since being in TNA I dont do that. There is nothing worse then seeing a guy getting hit in the face with a dropkick and not taking a bump. TNA is allowing me to work like that. I like the slow build. I am reestablishing myself and building a new persona. Im not piggy-backing off my time in the WWE, although I really enjoyed my time in the WWE. I like the ability to build something new.The entire interview can be downloaded from the official website of The Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling.
