View Full Version : David Otunga: Better Heel or Face?

David Otunga is obviously being dropped from Nexus due to being so dominant, having a great range of acting abilities, and being married to YOU KNOW WHO!

I watched him on George Lopez and he talks soft when he is playing himself. He is a really cheery guy who enjoys his family and wrestling. In his character as of late, it's as if that's came out a lot. He isn't as mean, aggressive, or downright (IM MY OWN MAN), he's being portrayed as a victim of aggression so the fans will like him.

Question is, will you like him better as a FACE or as a HEEL?

And.. who do you feel is next from NEXUS to be utilized as a singles wrestler and ultimately dropped from Nexus. (By the way, these developing situations are good for the wrestlers involved as these storylines were intended to put these characters over to garner the power to be interesting as a singles competitor without Wade Barrett or Cenas influence).

The people who say that Otunga is going back to FCW are stupid, mindless creatures, downright trolls who know nothing of the workings of storylines or getting over as a singles competitor in the business of wrestling.

My next pick to be removed from NEXUS and to gain mad respect from fans as a singles competitor would be Heath Slater who was madly over with fans on NXT.

In the end, it'll be portrayed as either CENA taking out NEXUS one by one for the fans, or for his own ego. If he ends up going HEEL like all signs point, then it would be for his own ego.

I consider David Otunga a better face at this time as Team Orton needs more strength and charisma instead of people like Mark Henry.

Wow.

I believe Nexus was partially created to put over a group of young stars.

I feel that WWE Creative sees Otunga as being well enough to be a singles competitor now.

i agree for the most part, but it's just so hard to take anything you say anymore seriously

Otunga is nowhere near ready to go out on his own from an inring perspective. It's more likely he'll go the way of Darren Young (wrestling on Superstars/back in FCW) than become another Daniel Bryan.

Hopefully back to fcw or unemployment, because Otunga is one of the worst superstars in a long time. I don't know what WWE sees iin him. He is the only member of Nexus that has shown virtually no improvement in the ring and his promos are pretty horrible. I don't see what everyone says when he talks on the mic. He'll probably be kicked out of Nexux, but I don't want to see him in a position where he could compete for the WWE title and most likely win.

Unless he's going back to FCW I see him staying a heel. I don't think he'd make a good face.

Who cares? Nobody really likes him regardless of whether he is a heel or face. He has mic skills, but his in ring ability is absolute shit.

So your saying he is like any other big guy in the ring? Big Show, Sheamus, John Cena, Undertaker, Mark Henry... etc.?

LOL. Haters out there going wild.

He's sticking around and the only reason you might not consider him a good face because you haven't researched him as anything but as a heel so far.

Ok honestly, Sheamus, Undertaker, Big Show and even Henry are more entertaining to watch than Otunga. For you to say Sheamus sucks in the ring is just proof of your lack of intelligence TAEF. I still think you're just trolling or a sock, or both.

Otunga has honestly done nothing to date worth him even being researched as a possible good heel or face. I mean, what has the guy honestly done?

List his accomplishments in a 500 word research paper. Feel free to put his perrenial jobber status into comparison with that of Adam Evans.

Otunga may very well stay around simply because Vince loves publicity and Otunga has the ability to possibly draw that. I'm not agreeing with it because like many here I can't stand him I'm just pointing out that WWE doesn't seem to care if a guy can wrestle or not they just seem to wan't 'actors' these days and Otunga does have 'the look' as they say. Anyway we won't know for sure until it happens so let's wait and see.

11-09-2010, 11:55 AM

The guy can't even do his finishing move without looking hesitant. Sucks.

You left a choice off the poll

He showed his potential when he was RAW Guest Host. Ever since, he lost momentum and hasn't done anything

Why does anybody think that David Otunga is good on the mic? Just because he kept saying that he was on NXT? He's terrible all around.

It's hard to say whether I'd prefer him as a face though, seeing as to how he hasn't been one on WWE television. Ever. This is a stupid poll, a stupid thread, and I think I hate you, TheAdamEvansFan.

There we go. Let's talk about Sheffield. That guy has some talent.

I dunno, a part of him reminds me of Rocky Maivia in The Nation. Just give him some more time and if he doesn't piss people off, I see potential.

But then again, I said the same thing for MVP, and look where he is right now

I DUNNO

If they're continuing this Nexus storyline, I wouldn't mind seeing Cena and Otunga create some sort of alliance together.

I'M NOT SUGGESTING A NEXUS WOLFPAC, SO JUST CHILL BRO

When Otunga was trying to hype up the rest of Nexus to get behind him on Smackdown, I seriously felt embarrassed for him. It was painful to watch. Terrible. Have you been listening to him at all? He sounds so forced all the time.

I totally agree. He just flat out fucking sucks in my opinion and should have kept trying to fuck New York or some ofthe other skanks on the VH1 shows he started on. He sucks in the ring, on the mic, and in general. It was awkward to listen to him attempt to "rally the troops".
