WWE: Titus O'Niel suspended for incident with Vince

[Loosie]

Such a vindictive ****ing company.

Is it the company? Or is it Vince? Or is it someone thinking this is what Vince would want?

 

[GarbageGoal]

"Vince, why'd I lose to Adam Rose?"

"What the hell are you talking about, who's that? Don't touch me, Shelton!!!"

 

[GKJ]

If the letters 'SMDH' ever was appropriate, it's this.

 

[Brodeur]

Obviously a ploy for all the Titus supporters to try to hijack Raw this Monday.

 

[MAHJ71]

Its just as odd as him losing to Rose.

 

[BostonBob]

And predictably cries of racism are now being heard.

 

[Engebretson]

 

[BonMorrison]

And predictably cries of racism are now being heard.

To be fair, WWE and Vince aren't exactly the most progressive bunch.

 

[BostonBob]

To be fair, WWE and Vince aren't exactly the most progressive bunch.

Agreed - but I just hate it when the race card automatically gets played.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Agreed - but I just hate it when the race card automatically gets played.

In this case it isn't racism. It's just stupidity and someone being incredibly oversensitive.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Don't you guys have labor laws in the States? Seems to me that it's something he could easily sue over.

 

[Engebretson]

"Independent Contracter"

He could probably sue, but would he really want to knowing that he'd be coming right back into an environment where he could basically be told that creative doesn't have anything for him for the rest of his contract?

Be A Star, WWE

 

[Sarcastic]

I feel like in any other company, no one would care and especially with all the press Titus brings he would be the last person to get suspended.

 

[Virtanen18]

Damn, that's insane. I understand if you want to make an example to everyone, but this suspension is way too long.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

this is one of the most ridiculous things i've ever heard of wwe doing

kurt angle used to ****ing wrestle vince on airplanes

a 90 day suspension for this is just so over the line. it doesn't look good when guys who take drugs get 1/3 of that

 

[M.C.G. 31]

- As noted, Titus O'Neil was suspended for 90 days due to unprofessional conduct this week. The suspension happened because Titus grabbed Vince McMahon at the end of the Daniel Bryan retirement celebration on the WWE Network after Monday's RAW went off the air.

Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Live today that Vince suspended Titus to send a message to the locker room, that they need to stop "messing around" and be professionals. Word is that there have been several talents who have "been riding the line" in terms of following the company rules lately.

Vince wants WWE to be a professional organization and it was explained to Alvarez by a source that while Titus was just messing around with Vince, it was "one messing around too many" and Titus was used to make an example, and was the fall-guy.

WWE officials do like Titus and with John Cena out, he is their number one guy for work in the community. They broke The Prime Time Players up so Titus could be pushed as a singles star. While it wasn't acknowledged on TV, Titus went undefeated for almost three months until the loss to Adam Rose on Monday. No word yet on how the suspension will hurt any future push.

 

[Guardian17]

He got suspended for this?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I feel like all of the talent on stage were watching that and going "dude, what the **** are you doing?"

 

[Paris in Flames]

Lana gonna catch major heat for looking at the camera.

That's how things work with her right?

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Probably a cover for a wellness violation.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

 

[Virtanen18]

Pretty sure you could see them both smiling after.

 

[Account Terminated]

If this is indeed the reason he was suspended...

Dumbest excuse to suspend a superstar, but at the same time... DUDE, Titus, what are you DOING!? This guy had a push going, was the face of an anti-bullying campaign, and by all means could have easily been a potential winner to the Andre the Giant Battle Royale. Hell of an oppurtunity to piss away because you chose the wrong time to mess around with the boss.

 

[George Binks]

Hahaha he should, the suspension is a joke. Seriously Vince is ****ing out of it

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Hahaha he should, the suspension is a joke. Seriously Vince is ****ing out of it

I don't think Titus is in a position to ask for a release. He needs the WWE more than they need him. There's no way he's made even a quarter of the money someone like Batista has to be able to ask for a release over this.
