       Who's Slamming Who this past week featured a 45-minute interview
       with the recently released WWE star Brodus Clay for the first
       time. Check out the full interview, which is hosted by former
       WWE/WCW/ECW star Big Vito LoGrasso and Tommy Fierro, exclusively
       on the VOC Nation Radio Network at vocnation.com and
       thebradyhicks.com.
       Being released by WWE:
       If I'm not able to be out there and contribute I don't want to
       be there. If you're not going to bring it, then sitting around
       on the sidelines is not something I want to do. I was a little
       bit frustrated. This is where creative [was] in one of those
       funks where they don't know what to do. I probably could have
       handled it a little better but I'm one of those guys who, when
       I'm frustrated, do not get vocal.
       The origins of "The Funkasaurus":
       I was like, "Well it's different." When something is put at you,
       when you've worked on something else for quite some time ...
       Once I was told the direction we were going, the Funkasaurus
       [name] I figured out with my trainer Rob, [Naomi and Cameron]
       were my pitch, and all I asked was could I see [Dusty Rhodes]
       and go down to the [NXT] school and figure it out .... It was a
       lot of support, and it wasn't a bad thing .... We kept running
       those vignettes of the juggernaut and the monster character so
       people had no idea what was going on. On this day of stooges and
       the Internet and all that kind of stuff it didn't get out.
       Having his match pulled from WrestleMania XXIX:
       You're devastated. You're disappointed. You help your team get
       to the SuperBowl, then your coach, for some reason, doesn't call
       your number. You know, as it went down, they were fighting for
       every last minute .... I was standing in gorilla and I saw them
       look at the time and they were trying to figure out any possible
       way to get us out there. It's the nature of the business. It's
       just like that nightmare of running out onto the football field
       without your helmet .... You hate to be on the receiving end of
       it. It was what it was but it stung for a long time.
