That gif is the only way that science has managed to find as response to "dude's Vince McMahon hate manifesto includes mention of a gloryhole in his office and that he feels less of Daniel Bryan for never visiting said gloryhole". And even just in general the words "Vince McMahon" and "gloryhole" in the same sentence. If Titus being suspended for ninety days is true then yes, that's a bit of an overreaction, but nowhere near as much as your post was, dude.

Man, even during Black History month a Black guy can't touch a White guy.

Yeah, I was about to do that and make a gif of the webm. I was going to post the webm, but I'm unsure if it counts as a "WWE Video".

90 Days?! For that?! A simple "Don't do that again." would be enough.

Wow. Why in the hell did Titus think that would be a good idea? Weird.

I'd say we call this situation GatorGate, but that is already taken.

On one hand I'm torn as 90 days seems overly harsh. On the other hand Titus is the single worst in ring worker they have and seeing him go over Cody so many times was terrible. Titus should be used as enhancement talent not as a guy on a huge undefeated streak.

I hope that they show some leniency towards him. He's a bit of a dummy, but I don't think any malice was intended, and even a brief suspension will make a point.

I see it from both sides, honestly. Titus, former football player who seems to be in really good shape with the company, was likely just goofing off like he used to with the boys in the locker room with a boss who he thought he was more on level with than he is.
Vince, who has worked in the wrestling business for years, is constantly surrounded by people who want to kick his ass, and also has to think about what it looks like on TV if a midcard guy just manhandles the boss, even in a non-kayfabe segment like that.
People talk, and the Internet circulates the tape. Ultimately the suspension isn't to drive home "don't grab the boss", it's to drive home "don't do it while the cameras are on".

that isn't worth being suspended 3 months & missing Wrestlemania. McMahon is being ridiculous

I get it if WWE wasn't happy about it, but how in the world does that warrant a 90 day suspension? What a crock of shit.

Keep in mind this is a 70 year old man who was holding back tears, had just told Daniel Bryan that he loved him and probably wanted to get backstage to give him another hug and probably have a good cry on his own. If I was in his position I wouldn't want a big oaf like Titus trying to f*** about either. Time and a place. Agreed Still this suspension is way too hard punishment. HHH or Vince should have chewed him out backstage and left it at that It's certainly excessive, but there was possibly a confrontation backstage when they were chewing him out or something? I don't know but just saying there might be more to this than just the grab on the stage that we saw. Did Titus say something he shouldn't have as he grabbed him? We don't know.

Maybe a 90 day suspension is over the top but it's a really lunkheaded thing to do to literally yank Vince McMahon by the arm in the middle of something like that.

John Cena would've gotten praised for that. "See guys you gotta show personality like John!" Titus, on the other hand, gets a suspension that (if I'm not mistaken) is worse than failing a drug test. Unless your Randy Orton. Then they figure out a way to change the testing system so he can work off one strike or seven.

Time and place for everything and grabbing a 70 year old man in an extremely emotional state by the arm and spinning him around in front of a lot of the company and more importantly 15k fans was not the right time and place.

From the looks of things he did something stupid, but I can't really see that warranting a suspension like that. A stern talking to or maybe docked pay, but a suspension seems excessive.

Maybe Titus said something that ticked Vince off at the time of grabbing him. Or maybe Titus was on probation, so to speak, for other unrelated stuff, and this wa the last straw?

Just a guess, but I think Titus thought they were off air and totally breaking kayfabe, like they did with the R-Truth birthday celebration a few weeks ago.
