#15 – Brodus Clay:
It was a big week for The Funkasaurus! After defeating Dolph Ziggler then pummelling Jack Swagger on Monday Night Raw, Brodus Clay ran through Hunico on Friday Night SmackDown, thus bursting into the top 15. Brodus Clay was at the 17 mark last week.

Twitter: @GiantBernard

#11 – Randy Orton:
WWE’s Apex Predator jumps two spots after making clear his intentions at Extreme Rules and then scoring a tag team victory on Friday Night SmackDown.
Twitter: @RandyOrton

#10 – Alberto Del Rio:
When former Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes blasted Intercontinental Champion Big Show with a Beautiful Disaster Kick, he set the stage for Alberto Del Rio to seize the win. The victory was sweet for the former WWE Heavyweight Champion, who is looking to regain momentum in 2012.

#09 – Mark Henry:
In the third encounter in as many weeks, Mark Henry had a chance at CM Punk’s title in a No Count-Out, No Disqualification Match in London, Great Britain. With both Superstars taking full advantage of the match stipulation, they went to war. Mark Henry looked like he might just do it this time, but his costly mistake of running headfirst into a steel chair while pursuing CM Punk cost him the match.
Twitter: @TheMarkHenry

#08 – Santino Marella:
Early in a United States Championship match on Monday Night Raw, it looked like David Otunga was about to pin Santino Marella and capture his title. But Santino Marella cleverly put his leg on the ropes to break the hold and then relied on his trusty Cobra to preserve his title.
Twitter: @MilanMiracle

#07 – John Cena:
Engaged in back-and-forth show of brute strength, John Cena battled Lord Tensai. In a stunning ending, Lord Tensai sprayed John Cena in the eyes with a stinging, green mist then delivered a massive powerbomb to preserve his undefeated streak. John Cena is having a rough 2012 so far.
Twitter: @JohnCena

#06 – CM Punk:
Despite a formidable foe in big Mark Henry, CM Punk successfully defended his WWE Heavyweight Championship against The World’s Strongest Man for the third week in a row. In a quick-thinking move, Punk ducked out of the way of the charging Henry, causing him to crash headfirst into a steel chair positioned in the corner. With Mark Henry still reeling, CM Punk leaped from the top rope and bashed him with steel chair to retain his title.
Twitter: @CMPunk

#05 – Kane:
Before their match even began, Kane kicked Zack Ryder in the head and sent him flying from the ring onto the announce table. The Big Red Monster then pummelled Zack Ryder and added insult to injury with a brutal Choke Slam. Zack Ryder never stood a chance against The Big Red Machine.

#04 – Brock Lesnar:
Once again, Brock Lesnar brought the pain. This week, however, it was in a hard-hitting exclusive interview that aired on Monday Night Raw SuperShow in which he recalled all of his past successes … and expressed his joy in beating people up.
Twitter: @DCBROCKLESNAR

03 – Chris Jericho:
On Monday Night Raw SuperShow in London, Great Britain, Chris Jericho was the first to break the news that he and CM Punk would square off at Extreme Rules in a Chicago Street Fight. Chris Jericho followed up by accusing CM Punk of drinking earlier in the day at a London pub. He continued his verbal lashing by calling CM Punk’s straight edge lifestyle a facade and said CM Punk will lose his WWE Championship at Extreme Rules.
Twitter: @IAmJericho

#02 – Big Show:
Forming a massive pairing, Big Show teamed with The Great Khali on Monday Night Raw to take on WWE Tag Team Champions Primo Colon & Epico. The Great Khali started the action for his team, but when the tag team champions tried to escape ringside, Big Show had other plans and tossed them back into the ring for a pair of Khali Chops. In a destructive show of force, the match ended with a simultaneous Big Show choke slam and Punjabi Plunge that decimated the champions.
Although he suffered a non-title loss to Alberto Del Rio on Friday Night SmackDown – due to Cody Rhodes’ involvement – 2012 has been shaping up nicely for The World’s Largest Athlete.
Twitter: @WWETheBigShow

#01 – Sheamus:
Despite getting hit with the biggest fine in WWE history, The Celtic Warrior took it in stride and holds the top spot in this week’s Power Rankings. Together with Randy Orton and Intercontinental Champion Big Show, the trio beat Daniel Bryan, Mark Henry & Cody Rhodes on Friday Night  SmackDown. Their main event victory in London was first set in motion by The Great White’s Brogue Kick, which led to Big Show’s WMD and finally Randy Orton’s RKO.
The Celtic Warrior now has his eyes focused on Daniel Bryan and their 2-out-of-3 Falls Match at Extreme Rules. After ending their WrestleMania bout in lightning-quick fashion, Sheamus will now have some more work to do. But if WWE’s highest fine doesn’t faze him, it’s doubtful having to go 2-out-of-3 falls will either.

BRODUS CLAY TALKS DANCING… WITH TRIPLE H.

In a new issue with WWE Magazine, Brodus Clay talks about his Funkasaurus character and adjusting to it.

Clay talks about having backstage after a match with Alex Riley and being very frustrated:

“One night, I came backstage after a match against Alex Riley and I was so upset. Triple H said, ‘What’s the matter?’ and I explained that the choreography was off. He’s staring and me and I’m like, ‘Wait. Am I upset over the choreography?’ He said, ‘Yeah, you are.’ I didn’t know how to feel about that. But, I’m always worried about the dancing – that I’ll fall.“

DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE SPEAKS ABOUT 2 TYPES OF HALLS

A WrestleZone reader spoke to the WCW Legend Diamond Dallas page about a couple of interesting topics.  Here is what he had to say:

On Scott Hall’s life problems: “I love Scott. He’s one of my very good friends…Today, we talk once in a blue moon, but the last time he called me, he was just looking for some positive energy. I gave him a lot, I gave him everything I could and I asked him to come and stay with me. I just couldn’t get him to call me back after that. He’s a good guy. He’s just a lost soul right now.”

On not being inducted into the WWE HOF: “I think eventually it’s got to happen. Nobody did what I did. Nobody was as over in the 90’s. I was in the top five guys according to Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Nobody came from being a manager to being a color commentator. I think I earned that spot and eventually, I think I’ll get it. I hope it’s not 30 years from now, but until Randy Savage is in there, until Jake Roberts, until Rick Rude, I’m not in yet. I would think Randy’s going to be in next year. I’d be surprised if he wasn’t. But it would be the greatest bill ever to be inducted because it’s in Jersey. It is what it is and when it happens it happens.”
