David Otunga
Has he grown on anyone else? When he was on NXT the only person I hated more than him was Slater and while his ringwork is far from the best I think hes come into his own as a smug buff Carlton Banks and I'm actually interested to see where he'll go from here.
|
I like his coffee mug, shit is pretty boss.
|
David Otunga has more ring presence than Clarence Mason did.
|
He is an awesome character, so character wise he has definetely "grown" on me with his role as John's assistant. In the ring he is still really boring though.
|
Every time he steps in the ring you know he is gonna lose but his character as Johnny's assistant works really well

Thats the other thing he plays against type hes huge but he constantly loses and somehow its completely believable that he gets his ass kicked. |
He needs to be a leader of a stable, and maybe he'll get more publicity. I wouldn't have minded seeing him take over the Nexus.

The Chris Masters flexing gimmick seems it would have served him better with his whole "A-List" persona, not the second coming of Chris Nowinski, but hey, whatever works to get you noticed. As a total package, he's still a shit sandwich. Just not a sloppy one. As for Damndirty's "stable leader" bit... yeah. Seemed like that's where Nexus was headed for a bit, before the whole Cena making them look like Spirit Squad thing. Looked like David was going to snake the guys away from Wade, and Otunga was going to be the new mouthpiece of the group. It seems to me that if he weren't Johnny Ace's right hand man, this would be the way to go, as he could be paired (or grouped, as it were) with people who are better in the ring than him, and they could leave the talking mostly to him. The others get better with promos, Otunga gets better in the ring. Simbiotic. On a side note, he's gotten more popular around here mostly because he's just so damn shoopable! |

His possible hostile takeover of Nexus is what got me interested in him to begin with.
|
Would rather see Otunga on my screen than Ryback or Tensai, whatever's that's worth.

David Otunga has really come into character suprizingly. bcus originally every1 was giving his wife credit now she barely gets mentioned. He has taken over the Total Package Lex Luther role as an egotiscal self absorbed follower. And quite frankly he's doing a great job at it. kudos to otunga and yes the Honky Tonk wanna be was the worst character in nxt and probably the worst on the roster.

Damn it I was gonna comment But the close up shot of Triple H's ass has all but wiped my short term memory
Goddamn you James.:foc: |

David Otunga has been given every opportunity to succeed. He even hosted RAW while still in NXT.
So if he never amounts to much, or if he never truly "makes it", it won't be because he wasn't given the chance. It'll all be on him. |
At first I was always of the mindset "they have to keep him happy in case the need Mrs Otunga if they divorce hes finished" but like I said I think hes proven to be a commodity all his own if they can get fans to respond to him more I think he'll be ok.
|
I like Otunga, he's got the "heel narcissist" gimmick down. He's even added alittle bit more to it with a famous wife and a Harvard graduate. As long as he keeps getting better in the ring (and Vince's love of oiled up musular men doesnt stop) he's got tons of potential success
|
He's gotten better characterwise, but he still makes these awkward pauses as he talks, makes what he's saying look "too planned out". You'd think that him being a lawyer would make it easier for him to just talk naturally. You'd think the words would just roll off his toungue.
|
Otunga should work with Abraham Washington and get a good stable going of "wasted talent who feel the WWE isn't holding up their end of their contracts".
|
I wonder what he'd be like as a face, but he definitely shouldn't do it prematurely at all. <(Noid's field here) If he turned face in the way that he is now, he will end up like Chris Masters in his last days of death row in WWE... waving like a fairy as he comes down, smiling like he just brushed his teeth after blowing at a rest stop, high fiving people so he'd at least get over with those in the front rows (people behind that could give a shit less), and, ultimately, lose every fucking match until his contract expires.

Seriously, it looks like he just had that look Vince goes crazy for plus a famous wife for that crossover media appeal, and they lucked out that he has the desire AND ability to get better. I'm not a total fan, but even I can see how far he's come. Aside from hosting RAW, he was mostly given the rub by Cena in the whole Nexus thing. In tag/group clusterfuck tag matches as being his "primary" opponent, and even as tag partners as the bound by belts champions. That in itself (basically being mentored by Cena) was proof of truth to your statement. Add to that his placement now with the onscreen replacement for heel Vince, and they keep proving they think this guy is a future moneymaker. |

Like I said, in the way he is now, he would not be a good face. He would have to change alot of things about himself: Signature gestures, a popular personality, appearance, theme song, wrestling ability and signature moves, and of course crowd reception in general. He's fine where he's at as a heel, but being a heel, he has to realize this is his opportunity to experiment with things. Doing it as a face is a billion times harder.
|
If he ever gets over, it'll definitely be as a heel. He's just got that natural "heel" charisma.
|
yes I agree he has to be a heel for a very long time maybe go face briefly but mostly stay a heel.

Just waiting for WWE to market an Otunga branded luxury coffee range. They really need to play up that coffee flask. Call his finish the Mocha Dropper. |
I did love when Eve made Teddy get her coffee, Otunga quickly said, "I'm good."
