David Otunga, Jennifer Hudson's fiancé and father of her soon-to-be expected child, makes his television wrestling debut on Florida Championship Wrestling, reports Jawn Murray at BV Buzz.
The 29-year-old Otunga, whose nickname incidentally is "Punk" and is known for his stint on VH1's I Love NY 2, now wrestles under the alias "Dawson Alexander." Asked why the Harvard Law School grad and father-to-be decided to become a professional wrestler, Otunga declares it's because he is a fan: "There's a love of this game. There's a love of this sports entertainment field."
Sounds lovely.
AFTER THE JUMP, watch David Otunga make his wrestling debut as "Dawson Alexander." Discuss.

Punk doesn't seem like the most responsible husband to be. Harvard Law but appearing on reality shows and now wrestling. Oh well as long as Jennifer is happy.

Punk is obviously DL or BI. I'm just sayin'

I guess 'fame' really does get to some people, its bad enough he was up in that vile New York chicks grill, but, this guy is a Harvard law graduate? Bet his parents must be so proud of how he turned out and with a kid on the way, NOT.

Some father figure

I just hope he is the right man for Jennifer. Lord knows she has been through a major ordeal already in her life. And now with a child on the way, she can be very vulnerable right now. He can do whatever, but please use the Harvard education.

why?
Posted by: FREELEO | 18 June 2009 at 17:08
"Jennifer" your life is becoming a stage play full of irony... (Remember she was cynical of the gay lifestyle and many of its fetishes, now look at this!)

Who says that he's not using his "Harvard Education" now. Life is not just about "prestige" or "money". He may practice law someday. It's pretty clear that he works out and he may enjoy the physicality of what he's doing more than flipping through law books--for now or maybe forever. He may want to go into entertainment in any number of ways and he may do more than wrestling at this time. Have you fellas heard of Duane "The Rock" Johnson or "Hulk Hogan"? Plenty of law graduates do no practice law. Life is about choices. Give me a break.

@ Dean:
Yes, the majority of law school graduates do not practice law. But there is something to be said for a man who is 30 year old with a first rate education who flits from reality show to reality show. Oh and whose meal ticket is a woman.
I have never heard that Dwyane Johnson "The Rock" went to law school or is a law school graduate. Do be a dear and post a link to that, thanks luv!

I just don't understand why our people seem to go the lowest common denominator. No a lot of people don't practice law after their law degree. I get that. But the best he can do with his Harvard education is be on a low class reality show(Not the Apprentice but I love NY-2).
Come on. When are we going to say that we're better than that.

In a society where we see so called celebrities with ABSOLUTELY no damn brains or TALENT, Why in the world would anybody hate on David who has proven he has brains e.g., Harvard Law Degree; majored Pre-Med undergrad; physically fit; good looks. And Jennifer, don't get me started on her. Beautiful Pecan Brown; Oscar Award winning Actor; Vocal Cords of a Angel; top selling album. Why is it that some in society ("The Cast of the Hills; Kim K) Can have no talent or degrees and they are loved and people like JHud and D.A have to have discovered the cure for Cancer to not be hated on! You damn Haters keep motivating these two stars to "Keep on Grinding to the top". I thank-you on their behalf.

He's pursuing a passion and is happy. If Jennifer is happy, why do you guys care?
Life is short. Enjoy it.

Who are these MySpacers?
Newsflash: Not everyone who isn't a fan of any random celebrity is a "hater". That term is ridiculously over used in the black (and black gay) community.
Ivy league degrees are not that exotic a commodity. I went to MIT, my cousins went to Princeton and Yale, yada yada yada. George Bush went to Harvard B School and look what happened to our economy. The question becomes: What are you doing with it? And truly, if "Punk" is wrestling with high school dropouts and on reality shows with ghetto mamas, well, birds of a feather.
But "Yoyo" you answer yourself. Most people on these lame reality shows have no degrees or education. But yet they're just as "accomplished" as David Otunga.

Co-sign Dean.
If he wants to do other things/have fun/fulfill some dreams, sh*t he has a right too.
Being a lawyer will always be there. Court of law will not disappear.
Stop hating cause you can do what you want to do but survie paycheck to paycheck.
Posted by: Kmark | 18 June 2009 at 19:50
I'm surprised he didn't walk in to the ring under JHud's "Spotlight".
Obviously this is fake.
Posted by: Kmark | 18 June 2009 at 19:55
....Stop hating cause you can do what you want to do but survie paycheck to paycheck....
Did you mean "survive", darling?
With that spelling and the vocabulary of calling anyone who disagrees a "hater" ... I'm so sure you are the paycheck to paycheck "Hi, May I Help You" hourly type.
Posted by: FQ | 18 June 2009 at 19:57
I love love LOVE Miss Jennifer Hudson but if she thinks a reality show wrestling wannabe celebrity is husband and father material, more power to her. OK. But you know our black celebs. You can take the girl out of the hood but you can't ..

FQ, what you pointed out was petty. Obviously, you understood what the person was saying.
Stop being a typical evil queen. It doesn't look good, sweetie.

@ Doug: Okay girl, I'll do better. How about this?
"With that spelling and the vocabulary of calling anyone who disagrees a "hater" ... I'm so sure you are the paycheck to paycheck "Hi, May I Help You" hourly type."
Better, sweetie?
