Otunga Group Suing Triple H
One Wavering Step Up
I know a lot of you will not agree with this one and I completely understand why. It's going to come down to what we like in our wrestling. When a storyline tries to get this "serious", it often falls flat. Some fans may see this storyline as believable and the others will feel passionately that it's not.
I'm on the side that thinks this angle is very believable. Lawsuits happen all the time in business and if an employee feels they are being treated unfairly, they often succeed in their legal pursuits. Wrestling is meant to be entertaining and acting and soap opera stories often play a part in that.
My main concern is that WWE will try to over-complicate the story. I don't want to see Otunga and his new group "actually" take Hunter to court. I don't want to hear about dollar amounts the group would take to settle. I want to see the group in clever backstage segments that are meant to make me laugh.
Let Triple H have some fun with it too by acting like he feels threatened by this group and to avoid a lawsuit, he "pretends" to give them what they want. In reality though, he continues fooling them and they don't realize it until it's too late which just adds fuel to the fire each week.
This angle could be in a future edition of this editorial going the opposite direction, but for now I'm liking the potential. I don't think it's going to do anything major for anyone involved, but it could be a fun story to showcase the individual members for a short period of time, at least. I just hope they don't overthink it.
