Wow!
|
No fun league
|
Said it in the other thread but this is basically the Paul London smiling incident all over again. If it happened just 2 seconds later when the cameras were off nobody would have seen it and Vince likely wouldn't have cared.
|
Should have gotten his money's worth and hit a Clash of the Titus off the ramp
|
Pretty sure if any of us put out hands on an employer we'd get worse. Fucking dumbass to think that was okay.
|
The CEO and Chairman at that.
|
Titus probably just wanted to ask Vince an urgent question, like why did he get jobbed out to Adam Rose? What happened with the Prime Time Players? Why didn't he wrestle Stardust this week?
|
Well damn.

Said the other, sometimes featured for a moment on TV, black guy. |
Whatever was so urgent, I don't see how it couldn't have waited until they were behind the curtain and off-camera in literally 10 seconds....

Either Tidus didn't think the cameras were still rolling or timed the ribbing badly. Vince probably got even more pissed when it was found out that the rib/play fight was on tape.
|
Prob not the right time to do it, but a complete overreaction from someone who is known to actively encourage that sort of messing around. Maybe a bit older now but it is still silly and has blown out of proportion a stupid moment and embarrassed both Titus and McMahon for his reaction.
90 days is amazingly harsh, he will miss his Mania payday and possibly 6 figures in money because of a pull on the arm. Ridiculous imo |
Vince broke kayfabe with this one. Roman beats the shit out of him and didn't get suspended. 90 days is whack though.
|
According to F4W, big reason for the 90 days wasn't soo much what Tidus did but the constant stuff going on backstage with everyone that has been pissing Vince off for a while. Wrestlers doing stuff in ring that Vince didn't approve was also another reason like Rock going off script with his promo last time.
Apparently Vince hates how much the roster goofs off backstage or breaks his rules with the Tidus situation as the final straw. Threw the harsh punishment at Tidus hoping everyone else would get the message. |
Meltzer Sheep,,,

I feel like I did that wrong, where's the Kopfman when you need him?

Just take their word for it I guess. |
Why the hell would anyone give them a quote if it could cost them their job?
You don't see athletes throwing their coach or owner under the bus with quotes. You only see speculation in the media and rumours from unknown sources. You fuckwit. |
Also, one bit of proof we have that Vince isn't too happy about people going off script is The Rock's quote (see he can give quotes because Vince needs Rock more than Rock needs Vince) verifying that Vince was not too happy about Rock going off script.
So with the slightest bit of critical thinking skills, one can see some validity in this, given the nature and timing of the suspension compared to what Titus actually did. Again, you are a fuckwit. |
Quote:
From the way it was explained to F4W, it was several people within the WWE trying to explain to Brian Alvarez on the reasoning behind the suspension. |
Even if Meltzer had a direct quote, I doubt he would say anything to blow cover for his sources. There is also the occasional big story he could break in advance of WWE announcing something but he doesn't do it because he knows where his bread is buttered.

I swear CyNick is Vince McMahon in disguise. No one else could be that much of a "fuckwit" as Gorgeous Dale Newstead so eloquently put it. The man is either a brilliant troll, or the biggest dick rider of the WWE this forum has ever seen.

It sucks for him that he was suspended, but I most certainly will not miss his matches.
|
WWE released an official statement on the issue and mostly to respond to a report from the NY Post implying the WWE was racist for suspending him.
Also backed down a bit on the 90 days punishment and instead got 60 days which still keeps him out of Mania. Quote:

Vince is Gay, and he had a fling with Titus, ahahhahha..

Yeah to think that this was a race based decision just because the guy being suspended was black is racist in itself.
Stupid overly self important decisions can be made without race being involved . Titus isn't a top guy and he pissed off the big man. Really that simple. Still dumb as fuck though |
Funny considering how Vince is the guy who used to attack Kurt Angle on a plane... hardly the most professional way to act in such a setting.
|
That wasn't in front of the entire WWE viewing audience on their flagshit show during what was a very serious business moment.
|
Not excusing it but that was 2002. He might be a different guy now.

This is so stupid. Titus is stupid for doing it. Vince is stupid for making it such a big deal. Fucking job the guy out to The Social Outcasts for a few weeks and then release The Prime Time Players because they fucking suck.
|
Seriously, they can't work. They've been on the main roster for almost six years now and Titus has had one good match with Sheamus.
|
Newest update explaining the situation from Tidus' side and the whole thing was meant to just be a lighthearted joke.
Quote:
|
That is one of the weirdest and stupidest things I have ever heard and it will not help him out one bit.
|
Um. What?

He does, but it isn't fair given the guy's limitations.
|
Titus is remarkably bad in the ring considering his athletic background. Shame really, he has a killer physique, would give the company a legitimate African American star, and is by most accounts a super nice dude. Could have easily seen him winning the World Heavyweight Title if there were still 2 brands.
Shame he fucking blows in the ring. His age also works against him. |
Yeah, his only good match (as Noid mentioned) was with Sheamus. The more I think about it, Sheamus really is a fucking fantastic worker.
|
Sheamus is a great worker that has been overexposed. He's been seen too often and has talked too much. Nothing about him seems "special" and when they put the belt on him it sucks the wind right out of the main event scene.
I think the guy could be a tremendous heel mid-card champion though. Could you imagine him as a bully IC Champion defending the title against "little fellas" who get close but no cigar? |
If they want a black guy who looks good that can work, they should call an Apollo Crews or sign Moose.
|
Crews and Moose both kinda lack charisma, though. Both pretty good in the ring, but they could use some work.
|
Should bring back Percy Watson. He was quite alright.
|
So does Titus.
|
Percy Watson had a great personality, but I have no clue why he was released. Maybe there were other issues? If he wants to be a wrestler and doesn't have any major problems, I don't know why you wouldn't use him.
Angelo Dawkins is pretty good too. And Jason Jordan. |
Jordan is quite impressive in the ring, but I think Gable is the personality there. Teaming with Gable has definitely been bringing a bit out of Jordan though, which is nice.
|
Ah fuck, now we've made it racial.
|
Percy Watson has quite the potty mouth

Briley Pierce (Dolph Ziggler's brother) started it when he was still NXT. Basically just a bunch of silly vids involving him, Bateman, Percy, and Trent Barreta. Kept it going on the indies too although he hasn't added anything to the channel in a year.
|
According to PW Torch, the original punishment for Titus was going to a lot more strict in terms of time off. Took a lot of talking and convincing to get Vince to drop it to 90 days and then another round of talks for the current 60 days punishment.
Also took a lot of talks just for Titus to keep his job since that was also an option Vince wanted as punishment. |
lolVince.

Nothing racial about giving props to a mixed tag team feeding off each other. They have more charisma than Haas/Benjamin ever exuded |
Quote:
|
Yeah I don't believe Vince really wanted to fire him.
|
Titus O'Neil showing up in TNA wouldn't move any sort of meter.
|
WWE - putting smiles on people's faces
|
Small update mostly about who it was that convinced Vince to not go for the fired option as punishment.
Quote:
Vince wanted him fired as the first option and it took a lot to both convince him how bad it would look PR-wise and to agree on Titus missing out on the big Mania paycheck instead with the 60 days punishment. |
Firing Titus because he touched Vince McMahon's arm is ridiculous. Titus should be fired based on his abilities as a wrestler.

Can't help but think about Abraham Washington. The man who put "The Prime Time Players" on the map.

Didn't he get fired for saying "Vote for Linda"
