An artist that is capable of actually putting out occassional good tracks or unique themes, something which should be expected for WWE to find as they are a global company with the money to get that. The guy they have now has been around for like a year and has still yet to push out something good, even by accident.

I guess I'm anti-fun because Otis has never been remotely entertaining to me. He's that WWE brand of fat and stupid that yells loudly that people seem to love for some reason. I'll never get it.

As for the match, I feel like Borash was nowhere near this one.

Otis has never felt particularly WWE-ified to me in his mannerisms and charisma

Obviously the storylines are what they are but his charm is undeniable to me

Maybe its just when you have Tucker right there as Generic WWE Big Guy to compare him to and solo Otis is tougher to swallow?

There was an absolutely great moment during the Otis/Mandy/Sonya/Dolph storyline where Dolph comes out to antagonize Otis by showing pictures of him and Mandy together. Heavy Machinery is facing Miz and Morrison with a shot at facing them at WM. Otis grabs a chair and Tucker is begging him not to do it, that it will cost them a WM match, not to do it, but Otis does it anyway. The standard WWE protocol would have probably to use this as a wedge to cause a HM split with Tucker being angry and storming off. Instead, after the immediate disappointment and frustration by Tucker, he realizes how heart broken Otis is and hugs him and comforts him as Otis cries into his chest. Like you can actually hear Otis sobbing.

It was subtlety that WWE almost never does.

There's a storyline that's actually pretty good by WWE standards and people are enjoying it.

Why the need to shit on it with "Well all other TV is better"

That's obvious. Wrestling is pretty much the absolute bottom rung when it comes to writing.

Oh, I'm sorry, is this not a discussion about wrestling and our opinions about it? I didn't realize we had to agree about everything. I generally hold back my bitching but when someone tells me a story that has all of the depth of a Fresh Prince episode with the acting caliber of middle school play is good, I think I have a right to disagree.

I'll return to not posting here and hope you enjoy the three posts in these threads a day. What a great policeman of the thread you are! You should pat yourself on the back.

I mean if you're going to make posts like that which are basically "Hold on, let me sniff my own farts," then yeah, I think the three posts a day would be great.

Rock's trying to discuss a wrestling storyline he likes. You're not discussing wrestling. You're trying to shit on him by going "Other TV shows are better" for no real reason other than you apparently want him to be miserable.

Other TV being better than wrestling is a fact. Trying to force it to be a bar to tell him something he likes is bad is just being a dick to be a dick.

Like, if you want to discuss with him why you think it's bad, then great, go ahead.

But you haven't. You've just made a few posts of "I watch REAL TV and it's SO MUCH BETTER" which is just shutting down discussion before it even begins.
