“Ladies and Gentleman please welcome the only living, breathing Funkasaurs in captivity, Mr. Brodus Clay.”

From the sounds of it, Brodus is just as much fun outside the ring as he is inside.  It is great to listen as Chad and Brodus go back and forth cracking jokes and talking the wrestling business.  Brodus touches on topics including Sweet T, Cody the idiot, and what it’s like to have “Greats” come back.

Brodus and Chad kicked their talks off with the best dancer on the roster, Sweet-T.  The man formerly known as Albert, A-Train, and Tensai has made the classic transition from hulking monster to fun-loving dancing machine.  It appear, Sweet-T is dedicated to his craft.

“He’s actually working on it right now.  He is in his ballet class, manages 3 dances classes, his commitment is shockingly unbelievable.”

Its not a front, Sweet-T really does love the craft.

“With Sweet-T, he is such an avid for dance.  I didn’t know that…I didn’t realize he was a thespian in the dancing arts.   We’re trying new things.”

Tag-Team Match Announced for WM 29

by Alex Wright on March 27, 2013 in Articles with Comments Off

Photo Credit: WWE.comEarlier today WWE.com revealed the newest addition to the Wrestlemania card: an 8-person inter-gender tag team match!

The team of Brodus Clay, Tensai, and the Funkadactlys will face Team Rhodes Scholars with the Bella twins.

This rivalry has been simmering over the past month, and took an interesting turn earlier this week on RAW when Team Rhodes Scholars picked up a victory over Brodus and Tensai aka “Sweet T.” Prior meetings between the tag teams had all ended in resounding losses for Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow.

Though this match will likely be a shorter bout placed between some of the more high-profile matches, it should be an entertaining one. Rhodes and Sandow are two of WWE’s top technicians and it’s always a great time watching two behemoths do their thing against smaller, yet skilled competition. Plus, the mere presence of Cameron, Naomi, Nikki, and Brie already gives us four reasons to stayed glued to the set!
