Its kind of remarkable how much every single trait of Otis' from last year has been lost; his tag team, his girlfriend, his MITB, and now even his status as a sympathetic babyface. He just needs to have his name changed and basically everything from that run will be rendered moot. And it’s especially puzzling because I thought Vince was the one who loved him.

Hopefully Otis heel turn works out a lot better than Tucker’s did.

I don’t think anyone has been more affected by the lack of a live crowd than Otis. His schtick just isn’t the same without a crowd. And I can easily see mercurial old Vince losing interest.
But I still think the dude has IT. And it won’t surprise me if he makes for a great heel. Provided he’s given the chance.

Otis probably tuned out of Raw a long time ago like so many others.

Otis was their most over,loveable guy in the roster in a long time.
So of course WWE decides that cant happen ,stripa him of everything that made him over and then turns heel with no reason

AJ wasnt stripped of everything he had and neither was the hottest character or sympathetic/loveable. And Bryan was kinda lost as a face at the time of his return but he was still the same Bryan as before. The only similarity of those examples is that they turned heel.

I don't mind it
Gable is such a shit big heel that him turning his friend is not out of pocket. Otis was a very good babyface but I think he can bring that mean edge and it will allow him to do something else and have something to sink his teeth into. Sami Zayn has been a treat as conspiracy level heel and Otis won't be that character but he will find his character in due time

Something I will say is if they incorporate Gable's history, with him explaining how he knows better than anyone that being a positive attitude do gooder gets you nowhere and convinced Otis he had to change? That would at least suggest some decent character work and provide a decent parallels for both their careers.
