In a recent interview with MuscleManMalcolm, lawyer and former WWE wrestler David Otunga gave his thoughts about his interest in potentially resuming his wrestling career in the future. Otunga stated “I don’t know. I mean, I never officially retired. I just haven’t wrestled in a long time and to go back to something you were saying that I agree with is when I was growing up, there weren’t that many black wrestlers and the black wrestlers there were, they weren’t always in the spots I felt like they should be. One of them who was was Ron Simmons, who was one of my idols and so I based The Verdict off of that, the Farooq Slam. But that being said, when I was in WWE, it got to the point like when I left. Now, first of all, I left because of my son’s mother at the time. There’s just some family stuff going on and I needed to put my career, needed to take a backseat at the time and so it was just the right move. But however, also, it wasn’t giving me where they weren’t giving me where I thought my character should go. So if I’m going to devote that much time and I have to literally choose between my family and my career, it needs to be what I want and what I dreamt of it being not being stuck in the mid card, not we might give you a push. We’re going to take it away. Not we’re going to give you this finisher, but give it to Sheamus because he whines about those a tantrum that says it’s, you know, Irish like got to give me more respect than that and that’s the other thing too. I remember telling them this also is that, ‘listen you guys have me losing quite a bit.’ I know there’s a part of that as a heel, but there’s nothing about me in my life that says loser, not only losers. Now I got a Harvard law degree. I’ve succeeded everywhere. I’ve gone- I even succeeded in WWE. I didn’t succeed as far as what I thought I should, but we’re not really fighting in there, man. You know? So it’s somebody else is writing this story. I can’t go complain. If I’m in power and they write my character out, you know what I mean? There’s nothing I can do, but you just give your best performance in that role. That being said, am I done wrestling? No, I wouldn’t say that. I never said I retired, but yeah, I’d wrestle again, but I want it to mean something.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
