Standing nearly seven feet tall, weighing nearly 400 pounds, covered in tattoos, and always smiling, former WWE superstar Brodus Clay seemed destined to be a major attraction for the company for years to come. Under the “Funkasaurus” gimmick in which Clay would gyrate and dance to the ring with a couple of attractive young females, he became one of WWE's most recognizable entities.

However, in early 2014, Clay was released from the WWE for the second time. It was an unceremonious exit for the 42-year-old Clay as he seemed to be lost in the shuffle for over a year. Now, Clay has made his way to Total Nonstop Action (TNA) under the name Tyrus.

Alongside fellow WWE NXT Season 4 competitor and former TNA World Heavyweight champion Ethan Carter III (aka Derrick Bateman), both men have a platform to put their talents on display.
