Is it a possibility? or would it seem to much of a publicity stunt?
I'd say he could have a nice singles career with US title run maybe even a IC title run. You never really know what they could do with him though. Right now, his gimmick isn't congruent with his real life media appearances. Maybe one day he will want to be that serious gay you guys have been calling for. Imagine his boyfriend Nick shows up on WWE TV and gets beaten down and suddenly he runs out to save him. That would be a shocker.

Like a Raw? Maybe.
Like a ppv? Well I never though I will see the day that Bradshaw will main event PPV's so I guess there's a shot.

Always an outside shot, but the guy seems more like the "reliable long-term midcarder" type, and there's nothing wrong with that.

If the Cena-less ratings drop far enough, D-Young will start main eventing in whiteface.

Well, he did main event on Raw this week and against Cena the night after Summerslam 2010 where Nexus dumped him after not succeeding in defeating Cena. So I'd say they are always been high on him if they are willing to give him main events on Raw. Just weird or bad circumstances always stop his pushes (Getting kicked out of Nexus for no reason, Suspended for 30 days for failing wellness, etc.).

I like Darren, but when I think a potential main event run between the two members of the PTP, I don't think of Darren.

It's possible. He's a good worker, and when he turned babyface, he was pretty fiery when making his comeback. He has the tools, but a lot of guys in WWE are really talented, so it all depends on who wants to push him.

Like other pointed out, he's been in main events already in multi-man matches. Will he even main event a PPV in a singles match? I would say that's a longshot.

No, he's just not very charismatic and he's average at best in the ring.
Titus O'Neil could be a main eventer someday though. He has tons of charisma and seems to connect well with the audience.

If I had to choose, Titus all the way.
He's more charismatic, better on the mic, improved leaps and bounds in the ring, and can definitely play a character when given the chance.

For f***'s sake no.
Pushing him just because he's gay is almost as bad as not pushing him because he's gay.
Is he a good wrestler? Great! Then if he gets over enough to main event, push him. Otherwise, don't. Black, white, straight, gay, whatever, that's how it should be.
As I said in another thread, the first mention I want onscreen of Young being gay is if he has a world title match and his boyfriend is at ringside. That is the only acknowledgement needed. No need for heels to call him faggot, no need for him to wear pink tights and be super-righteous, infallible babyface.
Being gay is an aspect of Darren Young's real life character, not his wrestling character.

In fairness, gizzarkhenry, they've done much better with it than I ever expected them to. They haven't mentioned his announcement on WWE at all to my knowledge. There was that brief push last month, but I still think it's a bit too soon for them to be taking the titles from Rollins/Reigns.

If he is, it will only be because he is gay. And that sucks (no pun intended) (ok maybe a little)

No. Out of the two, it's only really Titus i can see becoming a big name.

PTP need to stick together for the long haul.
Darren brings a lot of excitement and technicality to the ring, but doesn't have much flavor on the mic.
Meahwhile, Titus has a very charismatic character, but his ringwork is only entertaining in small, explosive doses.
They're an ideal tag team.

WWE has acted absolutely perfectly, but the fan reaction has been somewhat peturbing. |
