In 2012, vignettes began to air on WWE programming, touting the official main roster debut of Brodus Clay (he had originally appeared as Alberto del Rio's bodyguard while he was on the original version of NXT). These video packages implied that a vicious monster was about to be let loose and that all of WWE had better beware.

However, when he actually debuted, things were a little unexpected to say the least.

For a wrestler being billed as the "Funkasaurus," it would appear this would have been a tailor-made entrance theme song. Except it wasn't.

The song was originally used for Ernest "The Cat" Miller, who was previously a star in WCW. The entrance theme song pefectly matched his iconic catchphrase... well, you can probably guess what that was.

Sadly, Miller's career didn't pan out in WWE like it should have. When Brodus Clay needed one funky theme song to help him dance his way to the ring, Ernest Miller left behind a banger of a tune that perfectly fit the now-Fox News commentator.

If you don't know, Brodus Clay - now called Tyrus - is a host and commentator for Fox Nation, Fox News's online service. So, this entry got weird quickly. Let's move on.
