When exactly did the Prime Time Players split up? I originally thought Young was injured but he's been just wallowing on Superstars and Main Event, now in a random team with Sandow and back to using his autotune horse music.
Not only that, but both still do the millions of dollars dance even if they're separate.
How is Titus getting this random squash Stardust every week push while Young is swept to the side? Does he have heat for using his sexuality as a crutch?

Darren Young is a guy who is pretty much a lesson about social media.
His view about WWE going to Saudia Arabia was 100% correct and hey, I applaud him for doing it because it needed to be said.
The problem being that he said it under a WWE contract and, outside of PTP, he's nothing.
So they took away PTP and now he's nothing.
I hate it but, I say this for all media related stuff, he's a gay pro wrestler. Nobody is going to care that WWE suddenly lost their openly gay advocate.

F*** that dude. He should be happy he was on the Rumble card at all.
If someone higher in the totem pole, more talented, or someone who could flat out be more marketed as eye candy to the gay community came out as gay, he'd be out on his ass.

It doesnt help that he's really not that good of a wrestler.
At least Titus who totally sucks is tall and jacked and charasmatic in his goofy way.

I don't think AJ is homophobic for the record. I think he was guilty of being caught off guard on a radio show and any f word he may have used was from a different time when you'd be good to find people (especially in rap music) that wasn't using it as slur to people in general. When he tweets about killing someone for teaching it to his kids, then we can say AJ may actually have an issue with gay people.

That dudes face creeps me way the hell out. Every time I read one of your posts I lock eyes with it and it just spooks me.

I don't think Young is a bad wrestler, he's in that same league as Viktor or any combination of BAM or The Mechanics where they are simply serviceable workers who can work with anyone, but with little to no charisma of their own.

Viktor at least has a gimmick as 1/2 of the Ascension and with the Mechanics, their gimmick is literally "We're not here to be entertaining, we're here to fight". With D-Young I don't really see much.

With D-Young I don't really see much. TD Rick Viktor is also pretty competent. He's Hart Dungeon trained and had some good matches in FCW. I think he even got part of a fatal four way main event for an NXT house show with the other big name NXT indy guys. And he puts a lot into his character whether its generic dark guy (late FCW/early NXT), steampunk freemason, or metalhead. TD Vik is better than Darren Young in almost every way.. just not his hairline.

I really like Darren Young though.
What he does on social media isn't really all that bad.
If I had a choice between Darren and Titus, I would pick Darren. The guy was never given a fair shake.

I don't really rate either of the PTPs and there are others on the roster who weren't given a fair shake that I see more in.

I don't really rate either of the PTPs and there are others on the roster who weren't given a fair shake that I see more in. That's the problem with the majoritiy of the roster for sure. Darren was doing very well in the Nexus, so much so that they had the guy kicked out of the group to do his own thing. Rather than giving him his own identity, they just turned the dude into a jobber. Tag team competition is great, but it's better when he doesn't have to drag someone as sloppy as Titus O'neil. I've always wondered why Percy and Darren weren't put on the main roster as a tandem. Such a shame.

I think he takes the Sting approach in that he's quiet about his views and not a holy roller but I have heard (and this is only rumor so don't take it as fact) that he (Styles) likes to rib people who have different views than him. I don't think he does it seriously otherwise there would be lots of "Styles is a bully" stories. His agent is Bill Behrens who is known to be pretty gay. While he has his views, I don't think he's difficult to work with according to guys like Daniels and Joe who all seem positive about him. Tom Cruise is a Scientology nut but he's able to act normal and professional when working with other actors. I guess time will tell if Styles is the stand up guy people says he is or if he's a jerk.
