WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Oct 19)

1. Welcome Brodus!

You know, I like Brodus Clay. I really do. Sure, the Funkasauras character got old really, really fast, but I always thought he could have been a heel who wasn't a full time main-eventer, but could be used to keep John Cena busy for a pay-per-view or two on occasion. WWE felt otherwise, and who am I to argue? These are the people that have given us Steve Austin, The Undertaker and The Gator. After being out of the game for a few months, Clay showed up in TNA this past week. That's all he really did, just kind of showed up. No surprise. No big beatdown. He just walked out there with Ethan Carter. TNA basically had their worst new talent debut since Rob Van Dam first appeared and was subsequently beaten by with a baseball bat by Sting for approximately 45 minutes. TNA wasted no time, and initiated Clay (now Tyrus) with the TNA stench. He just stood there as D-Von trash talked him, and then beat a fat Shark Boy. That€™s not me being mean, that€™s how TNA is promoting old Sharky! You see, being in a Shark costume isn€™t enough of a gimmick. No, neither is also doing a Steve Austin impression too. Shark Boy has also been given the gimmick of out-of-shape wrestler who eats donuts before his matches and gets winded quickly. A gimmick on top of a gimmick on top of a gimmick. Well, with their biggest show of the year having to be co-promoted and aired out of their home country in front of 2,000 people, you could say that the company has bigger problems then how to debut a new talent. But , it all adds up. If TNA does get a new home soon they€™re still stuck with the same depleted and horribly misused roster. Welcome aboard Brodus. Somebody should have called his momma, and told her to tell him to stay far, far away from this company. Time to kick out!

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
