Being “The Funkasaurus” might not exactly be a career highlight for Brodus Clay, but the big man made an impressive debut on the main roster, siding with Alberto Del Rio. As one could guess by looking at his daunting physical attributes, Brodus played football during his college days, and later served as Snoop Dogg’s bodyguard before trying his hand in the wrestling business.

Clay signed a contract with WWE in 2006 and was sent to WWE’s developmental territory, Deep South Wrestling. What made his transition that much more impressive was the fact that he dove head - first into the wrestling business at the age of 33!

Brodus left WWE in 2014 and signed up with Global Force Wrestling/Impact Wrestling. He competed in the promotion until August 2017, when he was granted his release.
