As announced on Friday, Titus O'Neil has been named Celebrity Dad of the Year in 2015 MEGA Dads Awards. Batista, who O'Neil has credited with influencing him to try out for WWE in the late 2000s—he was immediately signed—congratulated him on the honor via Twitter.

Congrats to my man @TitusONeilWWE ...Well deserved! https://community.wwe.com/diversity/news/wwe-superstar-titus-o-neil-named-celebrity-dad-year-2015-mega-dads-award

Batista immediately followed-up the message with a swipe at WWE's creative team.

He wrote, "WWE: "@TitusONeilWWE you're everything a WWE star should be! Get out there and represent our company!! " Titus: "Then why don't you give me a push?' WWE: "Sorry there's nothing for you creatively" #sameoldbulls--t."

Batista has long felt that O'Neil is underutilized by WWE. "The Animal" said last August during an interview promoting Guardians of the Galaxy that he would like to work with him when he returns to WWE.

"I also have a really close friend, Thaddeus Bullard, who is Titus O'Neil and he's actually a really close friend. I think there is a lot that remains to be seen from him and I don't think they're doing him justice, they aren't really using him to his full ability and I'd love to be that guy that kind of brings him up to the next level, so if I could accomplish that, that would be great," said Batista.

He kinda sucks so...

Titus O'Neil sucks? You're stupid. He's one of the most talented guys on the roster and he's shined in every match they've given him that's been over 5 minutes. He hasn't even been fully utilized and you're already saying he sucks? Are you just hating for the purpose of hating, or are you just that stupid?

He's not being pushed because he's African American. Remember Kofi Kingston's last singles title push? How relevant was it? :V

I could see him getting the Mark Henry treatment where he gets pushed once in a blue moon, then goes back to mid/undercard.

I'd rather have him stay with Prime Time Players. WWE's tag team division is slowly getting better.

It's not helping him that his tag team partner is Daren Young.

Are you insinuating Darren Young isn't good, sir? >=[

(Unrelated note, but can you get on FB or Skype please)

Well you know you're not Ric Flair when they take the cameras off you for ten seconds because you don't know how to apply holds.

what do you mean? I never seen the happen

Its happened on Smackdown. Darren Young will try to apply a hold and they'll just show 10 seconds of the crowd instead.

PUSH TITUS!

sure it wasn't kevin dunn's shitty editing?

There are a lot of great guys being underutilized.
