Why am I becoming a David Otunga fan?
 

This wasn't supposed to happen.

Also, this is catchy:

I could go for some coffee right now, too.

Your thoughts on Mr. Hudson, please.

He knows he is shit in the ring and has worked around it, I am a fan of him for that.

I love him and his flask

I'd say it's the fact that they are using him in a role that is perfect for him (Ass-kissing, suck-up, lawyer for the heel boss). It's not often enough that they play to people's strengths. In this case, being genuinely dislikable.

I mark out for the coffee. I love the little things in wrestling like that.

I have my own coffee "tumbler".

Do you casually sip from it whilst Teddy Long berates you?

:lol:

For some reason, the thought of bringing coffee to the ring with you to cut a promo is hilarious to me.

cause he's black and on tv

22% :lol:

Nice

LOL

Yeah I'm on the Ontunga boat, he's doing very well at the moment and I have enjoyed his growth as far as ring work is concerned as well.

His ring work is terrible, but his gimmick kind of makes you not really give a shit. I'm a follower of his travel mug on Twitter.

Holy shit was thinking about this at work today lol! His ring skills are still terrible, but his lawyer gimmick is great! And the flask is so random and irrelevant yet it adds so much to his character (and what has carrying coffee around with him got to do with being a lawyer).

Guy has looked fucking great though lately, body-wise (no homo).

Rammsteinmad and Otunga, sitting in a tree...

He's still got a ways to go to make me a fan..... he's getting better on the mic and showing personality, but he's almost as bad as Khali & Big Zeke in the ring.....

He's pretty shitty in the ring, but besides that, I absolutely love him. He could be huge. Although I fully expect for him to "object" when someone says something he doesn't like.

he sucks, but the mug is going places

I want his flask.

i have enjoyed how in his last 2 matches the crowd has chanted "you cant wrestle" at him

I don't know honestly. Everybody has their likes for wrestlers. David Otunga is one of the worst of all time in my opinion. I think he's one of the worst in ring competitors of all time. Of course, with more seasoning he could get better but I doubt it. I don't particularly like his gimmick, and I don't think he has good mic skills either. I'll say that I can't really recall a lawyer gimmick as a character (though he is one in real life) so they just went with it. He has no strengths in my book though.

He's a "Punk," that's why.

I like that he has changed from the trunks to shorts. Something about how he looked in the trunks I found disturbing.

I can't believe you guys are praising him... I mean seriously just a couple months ago everyone on here wanted the dude off their televisions and now your all jumping on the bandwagon? Otunga hasn't improved at all since his nexus days other than getting a slight tweak to his character. (which is nowhere near enough) The guy can't wrestle, and his mic skills are horrid. The only thing he's got going for him is an awesome theme song, and if that were enough then Gangrel would have been a 20 time world champion.

Most Awkward Pose Ever

He should probably quit it.

He's a jobber.

He's being used pretty perfectly right now. Still pretty awful... but the character works.

i dig his carlton banks gimmick

How many years has he been wrestling? Including training, I mean.

Judging a lot of these new guys by how many types of holds they know and how good they are in the ring is sort of like judging six-year-olds at a college level.

Wrestling live is a learning curve. Isn't/wasn't the whole point of Tough Enough and NXT to give young guys a chance to learn the business and also get to be known nationally?

Do it, someone with photoshop skills.

True, but if he's not ready for live shows then he shouldn't be there. Send him back to developmental for a year or so to get up to par. Like you said you shouldn't judge a 6 year old on a college level, but you also shouldn't throw said 6 year old into a Harvard course either.

The new gimmick certainly has made a difference and he's shown a little bit of improvement in the ring but he's got a long ways to go before I could even consider him on my current top 25 heh.

The pose is awesome Lockjaw, and be should do it always. Otunga may suck in the ring, but he'll be loved by the iwc real soon.

Very simple its because your nuts Otunga sucks

Are you saying his nuts is what Otunga sucks?

Or that he is nuts... because Otunga sucks?

he is nuts... because Otunga sucks
