In any other era doing that would mean the announcers would play up how that adds leverage to the hold.

But Flair won't be there, right? Kinda weird to induct the Four Horsemen without the main member not being there to accept.
In this era that would mean the announcers are silent and confused.
He probably will be. He attended HBK's inductance last year, and he was shown.

I think Brodus Clay's gimmick is supposed to be a flamboyant gay man. The way he was talking and dancing I'm pretty sure that is what they are going for.
Gay man? Man, you just don't know funk. His in ring mannerisms were essentially just old school Dusty.

Brodus Clay is the future of our sport!
Actually in this era Lawler practically said that did nothing at all.

To be fair, he's playing up Ziggler's new "show off" gimmick. Lately, Ziggler's been doing headstands, push ups, sit ups, etc. in the middle of matches and interviews.

I'm late watching Raw, but oh my fucking god, I don't know if Brodus Clay is amazing or awful. Awfully amazing? Sure, why not? Wow. As weird as his new gimmick is, I will say this: I'll definitely remember him now! 
OK...the more I watch this match....I LOVE HIM: "Not bad!"
Brodus Clay is my new favorite wrestler. LOL. What is going on? OMG. I love it.
AMAZING.

Botched that run in the end. Or he ran out of gas. Either way is pretty bad.

I really don't know what to make of Brodus Clay's new gimmick.
On one hand ... wow, it's really an odd choice and one that could kill him.
On the other hand ... it's unique in that he stands out and isn't just generic WWE monster heel #3,772, which is what he was being set up to be before tonight.
He's like the new Rikishi when he was a face and danced with Too Cool. Heel Kishi had a great theme but his character was just go awful.

There is a much better chance of him going over with a gimmick like this, instead of just being another generic monster heel that will be quickly forgotten.

My sentiments exactly, gentlemen. This is better than the alternative, but it's either going to work or it isn't.
I really hope it works.
I've figured it out!
Brodus Clay is now the newest member of Men on a Mission!

Just watching the Broadus Clay debut-did they seriously give him The Cat's music? I was hoping for a surprise return. 
Mr. Enigma

Yeah. He's using Ernest Miller's WWE music from 2003.

Just caught that Brutus Clay intro. Fucking what...
I have to see slick rick now.
His heel turn will have to be WAY over to bring him back. Good lord...

WWE Network debut has been delayed. It's now not projected to debut until Survivor Series in November.

I just finished watching the DVR of RAW.
I liked just about everything on this show, except the hilariously-stupid Kane segments, and the Jericho trolling.
I never thought we'd see a cutaway to a commercial break from a guy putting a doughnut spare on a rental car, only to return from the break to a guy STILL changing a tire. Only to return in the middle of a match to a guy STILL changing a tire...until...eventually, Kane finally attacked.
Somebody put a bullet in this storyline now, before it destroys us all.
The Jericho segment just went on way too long. Jericho shoulda come out and got choked up immediately, maybe even on the ramp, and just stuck with the crocodile tears thing until people started booing. It would have gotten the point across better.
I'm sold on Brodus Clay. He's a SUPERSTAR. Haters gonna hate. Fuck y'all.
Ricardo Rodriguez = ratings.

Best thing's about RAW;
. Big Johnny - his trolling is epic.
. Kane appearing from the doorway.
. Brodus Clay, the Funkasaurus - WTF was that? WTF? LOL. I like it.
. Punk/Swagger.
. Eve's face when Kane's music hit - Big Johnny should have actually made Eve wrestle the match.
Worst thing's about RAW;
. Bryan/Kofi getting the Divas match treatment.
. Ricardo bullying. Won't someone stand up for this poor, misunderstood ring announcer? What, not even Rise Above Hate Cena? I guess he's too busy worrying about his little Broski.
. JeriTroll - I get it, I just don't like it.
. Zack Ryder vs the Unchangeable Tyre - this whole set-up just defied logic. I mean, lets ignore the fact that it took WAY too long for Zack to change that tyre, is that rental car the only possible way to get Eve out of the arena? She couldn't have just walked down the block and hopped in a cab during the SEVEN minutes between running from the ring and Kane attacking Zack?
How dare he try and make a living! HOW DARE HE!
Also, bitter he may be, but Colt's WWE "run" is the poster child for misused wrestlers.

He needs the Cat's ring announcer.
lol jump to conclusions, much? have you BEEN to an event with Colt? Have you seen his merch table compared to others despite the fact that he probably gets paid better than just about any other independent wrestlers? Yeah, I'm sure he's starving.

Yeah, I have. He had about the same amount of merch as McGuinness, which was nothing compared to Foley. Whatever man, the guy's busted his ass for well over a decade now and provides an excellent wrestling podcast free of charge, I'm hardly going to begrudge him cashing in on the name he's made for himself just because he's no longer living from pay-cheque to pay-cheque.

Can it Bootaaay. That dude is totally right. Colt's only in it for the money. That's why he didn't quit when he was in IWA-MS...fuck, that Axel Rotten is a helluva money mark. Dude just throws cash around like Panda Energy.
And after all, why else would the guy go from a hard-hitter/suplex guy in the indies to later turn into a 1960s British comedy wrestling-inspired style? He was selling out, that's why.
I mean everybody knows that style of wrestling = MONEY. That's the style that gets you over with Johnny Ace and Vince. British-style comedy wrestling from a bygone era is totally hot right now. It's fucking trending on Twitter.
And you are so stupid about wrestling, Bootaaay, you don't know that trying to squeeze as much money out of your merch table and fans and the promoter in the back is totally inauthentic for REAL wrestlers. Do you know anything about Pro Wrestling?
You are so dumb about wrestling, Bootaaay. I'll bet you thought wrestlers describe fans as "marks" in a way that denotes some sort of source of monetary gain for the wrestler, when clearly it is a term of affection associating the fans with the permanent markers they carry around, meaning "people I should give free autographs to."
...at least I'm pretty sure that's what it means.
Lawl.
On an unrelated note, watching the 2000 Royal Rumble. Damn Rock gets a huge pop.

Well my Raw predictions were mostly wrong, who the hell could've predicted the Funkasaurus Rex? or that Raw would turn into a very poor but hilarious horror movie half way through?
Raw highlight was definitely Kane in the doorway, that gets me almost as much as the time Batista was glaring with disapproval at HBK from a doorway on the raw after WM24.
