Here's the thing.

I want to see how they're going to treat this and how many people are going to shit on this how "racist" this can be.

(i'm not taking any sides here, just wondering how this thing is going to spread).

Dont put your hands on the boss when he leasts expects it.

From Reddit:
"Making moves, making moves, making really stupid moves
Grabbing dudes, grabbing dudes, grabbing,billion dollar dudes
Mess with Vince and you lose, yea you really, really lose"

I like Titus, but that was really stupid of him to do. Of course, I think the suspension is a bit too much. I do think a suspension makes sense, but 90 days seems a bit excessive.

I hear he was going to try to hug Vince but that could just be a rumor

Whatever his intentions were, it wasn't the proper moment for him to grab Vince by the hand and yank him in the opposite direction he was walking. But, like I said, a 90 day suspension is a bit much.

There are several sides to this story.
I've read a few opinions on this and some people think Vince is a racist prick. However, those are just youtube shitpost comments, whose validity I rate as ... nearly 0.

I honestly know not what to think. I like Titus as a performer - always supported him because he has potential to be a mid-upper carder, when it comes to wrestling skills, his mic skills are average imo - and for what he's shown to be as a human being, as a person outside of the ring/his in-ring persona.
Let's just hope this doesn't affect his career in a negative way to the point of being released.

Vince is nearly The Crypt Keeper at this point. I don't think it's smart to go grab him and yank him towards you.

Really dumb. I guess it's kinda suspension worthy but 90 days really is too much. I would've thought he'd just lose any kind of push he might've been getting or maybe be off TV for a much shorter period of time than that tbh.

I think some people might've told Titus to do that thinking it'd be funny and he was stupid enough to do it. I get that feeling because of the way Mark Henry(?) is walking away to the opposite side of the ramp as that unfolds.

According to ProWrestlingSheet, their sources say that Titus O’Neil spoke with WWE management following the incident on Monday that got him suspended, to better explain himself. Their sources claim that O’Neil said that he grabbed McMahon’s arm because he was only trying to allow Stephanie McMahon to exit the stage first. The story says that O’Neil was trying to let the lady go first, and was only trying to be polite, but adds that he also understands that the situation may have been perceived differently by others.

O’Neil was originally suspended 90-days for unprofessional conduct, but had it reduced to 60-days late last night.

People should just let stuff like this go after it happens. Shitty situation all around. He should of been more professional. Vince should of chilled a little bit. It was on live TV. He had good intentions. Vince is an old mummy fart. So many different things into play all at once. They lose a performer for 60 days and he has to sit at home for 60 days. They both lose. Not overly racist, maybe internally Vince might have thought something, no one knows, unfair to assume. Difference is there isn't a bunch of old white guys rally on social media saying "look how that young giant black man is trying to bully and intimidate that old white guy - what a racist".

That issue should never even come into play, and now that it has happened and over, it should be completely dropped. Social Justice Warriors are the scum of the modern earth today. Hope Vince chills out and Titus comes back in due time.

^ What do Social Justice Warriors have to do with this?

I get what Doom is saying. What Vince isn't doing is racist.

I don't pay too much attention to what people are saying on social media so there could be a huge outrage over this.

But how is what is happening to Titus the fault of SJW's???

Oh it's not.

^^ that could have fooled me

Doom isn't smart.

Let me get this straight:
you sayin' that the people who are having a debate on "Who's the one at fault" are the ones to blame? :V Wat.

I love how people use the term "Social Justice Warrior" when others have a different view on a subject. 'tis some kind of magic logic.

^ Agreed. Maybe that's why I'm upset. I fucking hate when people use the phrase "Social Justice Warrior" cause the people that say that are usually pricks who get mad that people call them out on their idiotic bigotry.

"doom isn't smart"

i like how i didn't call anyone here a SJW, and i get white knighted over a generalization. Good reflection of the board, all knowing laureate's. next time i'll PM the lot of you for a post review as not to upset you. didn't know SJW was a slur, a curse, a derogatory phrase, or a diatribe.

When a bunch of people on SOCIAL MEDIA rush to a scene that they have no interest in other than social implications of it, than SJW is not an out of line term. Its not like a bunch of old ECW Arena marks were spamming hash tags on twitter/facebook/etc... talking about Vince being a racist. That's pretty much the root of the article. There is a term for that now. Didn't know the term for that was so offensive. MY BAD.

Well sorry Doom I didn't remember what you said and I had bigger fish to fry last night.

I don't like Social Justice Warriors. They're not really helping. But I get where their anger comes from. But calling Vince racist doesn't help anyone, especially if Titus O'Neill might have really fucked up.

"white knighted" is when a guy stands up for a girl who is getting attacked online. That didn't happen here, once again, get your shit together before you talk.

SJW isn't any of those things, it's just one of those things idiots say when they get mad that they get called out for their bigotry.
