10 Best Wrestling Storylines Right Now

10. Poor Otis

It's a dumb sports entertainment storyline but it is absolutely inspired in its own, dumb sports entertainment context.

Otis has the hots for Mandy Rose, and it's going to go badly, badly wrong him. Sure, last week's miscommunication was just that, and Otis can simply watch the episode back to realise that Rose was simply humouring a work acquaintance, but Rose in storyline canon is a right wrong'un. She once described Nikki Cross as an oversized rat that crawled out of the Lincoln tunnel, and if you don't think they have something awful in the chamber to say about Otis, then brother, you're watching the wrong sports entertainment company.

But what?

"Otis, you look like a fat guy's thumb got dipped in grease and pubic hair."

Irrespective of the actual zinger, WWE has identified a sympathetic babyface, tugged on the old heartstrings by booking him to be plain nice and helpful, picked the perfect, handsome, boring dickweed for you to hate, penned a cracking montage, and created an air of mystery about the motivation of Sonya Deville in the background.

This might and probably should end up in a Heavy Machinery Vs. Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler match, and if so, and if they don't f*ck it up, WWE will have booked an interesting Bobby Roode match and an interesting Dolph Ziggler match.
