You’d never think you’d read this here, but Byron Saxton was missed last night.

That’s because in Saxton’s absence, we were “treated” to David Otunga taking over PPV commentary duties, and he immediately reminded everyone why he was quickly relegated to the kickoff show after attempts to be a main show commentator.

Otunga most notably argued that it was better for the Usos to not be in the triple threat match, to bide their time, then after Corey Graves pointed out that you can’t win the match when you’re not it, started arguing the other side.

That was just one example. Overall, Otunga is as good at commentary as he was at wrestling. Let’s just leave it at that.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
