Brodus Clay Talks Transitioning to TNA, Being Booked as a Comedy Act in WWE, Wrestlers Not Being Able to Excel in WWE, More

Wrestlers not being given the platform to excel and break through:

You see it happen all the time in the WWE. Guys who should no doubt be on the top of the card and be main eventers. Guys like Cesaro. There is no reason why he shouldn’t  be on his second World Title run, guys like Jack Swagger, Big E the list goes on and on of guys that are there right now that could change the game. The Triple H factory as I call it seems to be the running the show and the ratings result in it. Hopefully someone is able to change that and break through. The last guy to break through was Daniel Bryan and he was able to be bigger then the machine. If this was 20 years ago the fans would have crazy choices of people to choose from. There were so many stars. I feel like that has been taken away from the fans.

Having choices to work outside WWE:

There are so many Independent promotions that are growing. The International scene is growing. TNA is kicking again, Global (GFW) is coming up, Lucha, Big Time Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Syndicate it seems like the territories are kind of coming back again.  I was in Oklahoma and we were wrestling in front of 2500 people. People have a choice and it is different. Maybe 5 years ago there wasn’t many choices but now things are kind of changing and its exciting to be a wrestling fan. I’m having the time of my life. I love what I am doing. I am my own boss, I am traveling all over this continent and I am busy as hell doing what I want to do. To me, Indy kind of represents not the machine. The majority of the wrestling world is aware that there is something else out there an there are stars out there. My popularity continues to grow outside of WWE and I really don’t look back. 

Tyrus also discusses his departure from WWE, his goals for TNA, working for Dixie Carter, EC3, the transition from NXT to the main roster and back to NXT, his transformation to the dancing Brodus Clay, politics, being a fan and learning from Alberto Del Rio.
