Musical Chairs: David Otunga to... WWE?

When we write about high-profile lawyers changing jobs, we’re usually talking about moves between law firms, or maybe between government and Biglaw. This latest transition is a bit different.

From MTO (which claims to be “the most visited black website in the world”):

Jennifer Hudson’s fiancé and VH1 reality star David “Punk” Otunga of the “I Love New York” series has a new occupation…. Punk has been training for months in WWE’s Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory – and has now signed to a deal with WWE.

But don’t expect to see him in the ring anytime soon. Punk has been on a sabbatical from FCW due to the recent Hudson family tragedy.

One tipster is unimpressed: “From Harvard Law School to I Love New York to the WWE. Unfortunately the next stop is probably porn.”

But we think this is great — and extend our congratulations to Otunga (who, unlike many HLS grads, has the sculpted physique required by wrestling). He’s moving up in the entertainment world and developing his own independent career, so he won’t be known merely as the husband of a more famous female. Cf. Guy Ritchie.

One HLS grad is about to become the leader of the free world, and another is about to become the leader of world wrestling. Harvard Law School alums lead interesting lives.
