You know I thought the Funkasaurus thing was:
  1. A work and Brodus was going to go monster heel beating on Hawkins
  2. Going to bomb

But the crowd seemed to be take a liking to it and fast.

That crowd was a whole new level of horrible, so it was not a great time to debut this kind of a gimmick (where an immediate gauge is needed), but I could see some people already interested and cheering for the gimmick in the crowd.
 
I actually wouldn't be surprised if Brodus Clay was the one who actually thought up his new gimmick since he did a pretty good job thinking up Mark Henry's gimmick.
 
Remember when CM Punk talked about making WWE fun again? For everyone?

Last night, we had 80's-era character goofiness (Kane/Cena/Ryder), a fantastic WRESTLING match (Punk/Swagger), Post-modern criticism of entrances and promos (Jeritroll), Just Plain Fun (FUNKASAURUS), and whatever it is R-Truth does.

I'll bet dollars to donuts you all liked at least ONE part of Raw last night. Lord knows I did.

Call me crazy or a hater, but I would really enjoy more than 12 minutes of wrestling instead of 45 minutes of See No Evil 2 in a 2+hour show.
 
Ahem ahem ahem

Raw Review (Couldn't do it last night, fell asleep right after NWA)

Ahem.

I actually like where the Kane/Cena feud is going cause it's one of the more interesting Feuds that Cena has been in as far as I seen , remember though I've missed years of wrestling, literally. I hope Cena doesn't just superman his way out of just defeating Kane and it doesn't seem that way and it'll be a while before a legit match (least til the Rumble).

I like it, I like the cheezy serial killer thing, Zack Ryder and Eve being involved made it 10x better.

Bwahaha Brodus Clay charmed the hell out of me, we need more lively characters like I said earlier, unlike a few others, I'm sure Clay will perform better.

Jericho did what he did best and I hope he keeps doing it

R-truth and Ricardo was great

Punk needs to step up his game and besides title shots do something to catch my attentions, it wouldn't hurt to cut a promo once in a while.Really good fight against Swagger though

Overall rating: FUNKY out of five stars

Wrestling legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin said he will hand over ownership of "3:16" to Tim Tebow without so much as a forehand chop if the Denver Broncos quarterback can repeat last weekend's heroics when he faces the New England Patriots.

Tebow made a grand claim on the Biblical digits after passing for 316 yards in the stunning overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers and setting an NFL playoff record with 31.6 yards per completion.

The performance recalled the "John 3:16" that the devout Christian wore as eye black during his college career, painted in tribute to one of his, and many other believers', favorite Bible verses.

The passage reads, according to the New American Standard Bible, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

Stone Cold went a different route during his WWE prime, establishing "Austin 3:16" to humiliate his foes with an invented verse.

But Austin said he will surrender sporting ownership of the numbers if Tebow throws big at Gillette Stadium in the AFC divisional game Saturday night.

"Austin 3:16 still rules," the wrestler told TMZ, but added, "If Tebow can throw for 316 yards again this weekend, then hell, he can have the numbers, and I'll have no problem with it. A guy named John was using it before me . . . so if Tebow can do it again, more power to him!"

Austin said he wished Tebow "all the luck in the world" after being impressed with the young quarterback on and off the field. "I'm not a Denver fan, but Tim's a great role model for kids," he added.

Apart from the Kane-Cena thing, RAW looked good.
 
I'm a believer now, I forget who mentioned it yesterday, but I think Brodus Clay is a flamboyantly gay character now.
 
After speaking with sources, WZ has learned that the WrestleMania 29's location is not one of the expected locations. There have been many speculations and reports over the last year that pointed towards WrestleMania 29 possibly taking place at the new Cowboys' stadium in Dallas, Texas or in Toronto, Canada. I have been told neither of those locations are going to be the site of WrestleMania 29.

New Orleans, Louisiana was also rumored to have been strongly considered as a possibility and that is not going to be the site either according to sources.

Please keep it with Wrestlezone as we hope to bring you confirmation very soon on where WrestleMania 29 will take place.

I kind of figured Toronto was out of the running with Edge getting inducted into the Hall of Fame this year and Vinces hatred of Toronto and all but Jerryworld too?

He came out with two hot women and beckoned leeringly to them after his match.

He's not gay, he's just funky.

And fucking awesome. He could do with tightening up his act, but I thoroughly enjoyed his debut.

"My baaaad". Did some guy in the audience shout something at him? I didn't really get it, but I laughed out loud anyway.

Edit: Is it because he called the suplex out loud?!

There's one thing I hope they bring back from that Wrestlemania.

It had style. Even now, it stands out as one of the most unique PPVs WWE has ever done... speaking of WWE PPVs

WWE will be going back to 12 pay-per-views this year. WWE has reportedly decided to nix the second October pay-per-view - Vengeance. This means there will be several weeks of build between the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view and the Survivor Series pay-per-view.

Smart move. I always thought they were trying to cram too many in. This extra time will, hopefully, help build the matches into something more meaningful.
 
A day later and we're still talking about Brodus Clay. Don't tell me this would have happened if he came out with a monster heel gimmick.
 
God Ziggler is good. I can't believe how far hes come from "Hi, my name is Dolph, Dolph Ziggler"

He has the brightest future of anyone on the roster right now.

I guess everyone can't be a monster heel like Mark Henry. So I get why they went the route they did. I like him talking in the ring, it was kind of funny.....I don't know I haven't commented on him because I really don't know what to say.
 
Read that Cena was worth $106 million in retail value for WWE in 2011. What does that translate to? Cena is not turning heel anytime soon? They are playing up a potential turn .. just don't see it happening.

EDIT: source is from twitter .. ESPN's financial expert Michele Steele tweeted on Tuesday that John Cena was worth $106 million in retail value to WWE in 2011

Come at me.

Cena's a good man for doing that , I think the only people we should really be mad at is WWE creative. I'm sure Cena is a cool guy in real life.

Plus yeah, I don't think fat girls are bad, you heard me. I'd pull a Cena.

WWE will make it a angle that the winner is in fact the plant who wears the anti cena shirts. Then he'll meet Cena face to face and then he'll put on a Rise above Hate shirt and give into the Cenanation
