From: Planet Funk When Brodus Clay debuted in WWE a few years ago there was a lot of anticipation because he has a unique look as a tall guy that's also very wide and you could tell he could kick anybody's ass. At first he was a bodyguard of Alberto Del Rio. Then they re-packaged him as a dancing fat man known as "The Funkasarus." It was as if WWE realized this guy could have been a massive heel that got a lot of attention and could have been a big deal, but instead of doing that kind of thing with him they went the comedic route. He danced before the match with dancers Naomi and Cameron at his side while Tensai became Sweet T as well as his tag partner. Their feud sucked. For whatever reason, Vince McMahon has always loved having dancing fat guys on the show. He must think that everybody finds it as funny as he does. He also gave him a unique hometown that nobody else had: Planet Funk. When Clay was released, they actually said one of his dancers Naomi was still from Planet Funk. That changed recently, but it just shows WWE really was committed to that fictional place.
