According to TMZ Sports, WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil allegedly lost his mind at a WWE cameraman and beat him black and blue after a prank – for a YouTube show, WWE Swerved – went wrong. The cameraman, Donald Anderson has now filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court demanding more than $1.2m in damages.

The prank involved the WWE Superstar getting zapped. However, as Titus received the electric shock, he flipped out and kicked the camera off Anderson’s hand. The cameraman suffered serious injuries to his hand, fingers and wrist during the incident.

Cameraman is gonna be shouting "Millions of Dollars! Millions of Dollars!" after the trial if he wins.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Titus is quickly becoming the king of ill-considered heat-of-the-moment actions.

[Soultastic]

That first paragraph is such bullshit. He got shocked and kicked a camera, he didn't lose his mind and assault someone.

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

1.2 million? That's the same amount of people that roll their eyes whenever Titus comes on screen

[Kevin Hamilton]

So did he beat him black and blue or did he kick the camera out of his hand?

The former sounds way worse than the latter.

I know it's still assault and whatnot, but it intially sounds like he beat the f*** outta the guy. And then on down he just kicked him.

It's a click bait-ish headline but I didn't want to alter the source material.

Titus will keep his push as he neither grabbed Vince's hand nor sneezed.





PWI:

Anderson is suing for $1.2 million, alleging that when he was filming a segment on 5/18/15 involving WWE stars being shocked with a cattle prod. According to the story, when Titus was zapped, he kicked the camera out of Anderson's hand. Anderson alleges he was told to leave the premises following the incident for fear that Titus would continue assaulting him.

Anderson is claiming that his hand, wrist and fingers were severely damaged in the incident.

PWInsider.com is working to acquire a copy of the lawsuit and will have further details.

Obviously a takeoff of Jackass, the initial season of Swerved featured pranks being pulled on WWE personalities. The second season of Swerved differed with talents playing jokes on fans. WWE has not brought Swerved back for a third season and there are no current plans to bring it back as of this writing. We had heard several weeks ago that it was due to a potential legal issue but could not confirm that.

[Lazy peon]

Wow, Titus is legit tough if he managed to beat a guy black and blue simply by kicking a camera out of his hand. haha f*** tmz

[Confused Mark Wahlberg]

Hopefully 'Swerved' was better than 'Juiced'

[Tiger Millionaire]

Titus was just trying to let the female camera operator go first in an act of chivalry.

Guys I think TMZ might be sensationalist and illegitimate journalism.

[FinalGwen]

I for one don't see why anyone would react with shock to being electrocuted. This is something that nobody could have possibly foreseen.

Surely you jest!

I were the dude I'd probably count my blessings, since if I were Titus's size and someone zapped me I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't murder the entire room.

[Allie Kitsune]

It took the guy just about 2 years to find a lawyer willing to take this lawsuit for him?

This isn't unusual. First an alleged victim needs to see a doctor. Following a diagnosis, there's treatment, bills, etc. That alone may take a few months. Add any efforts to research a case, resolve it peacefully, etc.

Point is, civil cases can take awhile.

There's no freeing Titus after this one.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

What the hell? I never watched Swerved, but are there really people who think zapping an unsuspecting person with a cattle prod qualifies as an innocent prank?

That sounds like one of those gone-too-far ribs from 80s wrestling, not a show from 2015.

Man the Titus Brand just keeps on getting hit with losses
