I know everyone hates Vince now, despite the fact the man simply sculpted and created our love for this genre of entertainment.

But let's be real, Titus was wrong. It ain't got nothing to do with race. You don't do that shyt.

And let's not front like Vince is some stuck up a$$hole. Cuz he's known for getting physical with talent, play fighting, etc.

But on TV, at the end of a retirement speech!? Sitcho ass down nikka. It was mistimed and inappropriate take that repercussion and 90 days.

Seeing that GIF, man that was awkward....
A lot of it for me is that Vince is 70. I know he likes to come off as never aging, and so Titus probably wasn't thinking of that, but I'd never just grab a 70 year old like that. I think of how I am with older relatives and I probably barely even tap them.

With Vince it's odd because he gets involved with wrestling and stuff, but when you just see him normal, you realize how kind of frail he is. I think that contributes to why it feels really awkward.

But he let Kurt Angle throw him around on a plane. :patrice:
Kurt Angle was a main eventer though :patrice:




If Rock did this to Vince in 99/00 he probably wouldn't get suspended either.


Titus seems to be lower mid card :manny: Lets be honest, the main event wrestlers are probably allowed to get away with more stuff than midcard, lower mid card and divas do.

Not the time for that, tryna joke around when someone just announced his retirement.

But 90 days seems so steep

Difference is, he engaged Angle in that...

Angle didn't run up on Vince as he was sitting down and hit him with a german suplex...

Terrible analogy.

The 90 days is steep tho'... it's either done as an example for others not to do that shyt, or compounded with something else that happened.

Exactly, and it looked awkward as hell in the final 5 seconds of the broadcast as well. Out of all the people, and of all the times to engage in activity.. You decide to do it to your own boss at the end of another superstars retirement speech.

If I was to guess, something happened backstage after that too. Probably some kind words exchanged or other interaction that turned a 30-day suspension to a 90-day one.

To all you wrestlers out there who don't wanna be in a promotion where the CEO's family all up in the promos, all up in the main events.... COME TO THE TEMPLE.

it was stupid on his part, 90 days is harsh though.


Not even HBGOAT, who could probably smack Vince in the face and not get fired wouldn't try to clown around at that point in time

How do you know Vince didnt rib him first? Too many people smiled for it not to have been some running joke. It was bad timing but Vince was being cranky.
