After a few weeks of teases, Maxxine Dupri made her first overture to expand Maximum Male Models' roster. Dupri's target: the plus-sized, wild-haired Otis.

Yep, that Otis. The Alpha Academy graduate caught Maxxine's eye a few weeks back, drawing the scorn of ma.çé And mån.sôör. But Dupri clearly sees a project in the man she called "O-Teece," handing him a business card while rebuffing Chad Gable's attempts to be considered for the modeling agency.

Otis as a male model could be a tremendously funny transformation, with segments airing during the next several weeks as Maxxine and the guys try to teach the human tree trunk how to dress, walk, talk and groom himself, all leading up to a reveal of the finished product at WrestleMania 39, perhaps even strutting the catwalk ramp.

Considering that Maximum Male Models has been little more than a one-note joke since its inception, taking a guy who does comedy well and pairing him up with them could actually raise their profile. If nothing else, Otis also is a bit more successful in the ring than ma.çé And mån.sôör, so if the story spills over to a match, there's some credibility there.

Regardless, this has some potential, so let's just try to enjoy the visual of Otis at a stylist, or trying on clothes, or learning how to strike various poses.
