I heard the WWE kills babies and uses their skin to make John Cena shirts. They send Kofi to children's parties to beat them up.

I love how Vince McMahon has said the N-Word on TV, forced women half his age to make out with him countless times on TV, made a female bark like a dog and strip on camera, allows his daughter to legit slap people across the face as hard as she can on TV, etc, yet does all this behind the guise of "scripted TV", while he can overreact to something like this and have people marching to his defense. Between Titus and McMahon, one of them is a scumbag, and it's not Titus.
Wrestling combined with a ridiculous corporate banner is one of the dumbest things on the planet.

No, I don't. If this were an investment bank, I could see where the picture gets complicated if you grab your boss a little harder than you intended and would necessitate an HR visit. But this is the f***ing WWE. Vince wasn't hurt, or assaulted. This was nothing, and it's all about sending a message to the wrestlers who they willingly exploit and abuse. LOL c'mon. Enough of the SJW/WWEREVIL ridiculousness. I mean, I just read in Hardcore Holly's book about how he was told in no uncertain terms to be on a plane to Europe despite a massive staph infection that almost cost him his arm. And then he was just booked in battle royals. But yeah, damn liberals whining again!!!1

I think it was a good call. This was Bryan's moment and Titus acting kind of goofy and messing around was not the appropriate thing to do at that time. I doubt he'll be gone a full 90 days but honestly it's not like he's been doing much of anything on the main shows. So I wouldn't know when he came back. Bryan's moment? You make it sound like he ran to the ring mid promo and delivered the loudest Gators chant ever heard, before casually making his exit. BRYAN had gone through the freakin curtain for goodness sake.

Knowing Titus he was probably stumbling about and needed to grab something to keep his balance. Now he can stumble when he loses to Viktor!

I swear that people will find the most ridiculous ways to bitch about Vince and the WWE. Dude literally GRABBED and PULLED his own BOSS unsuspectingly on camera, right after an emotional retirement speech. I dare any of you with a job to wait for your boss to walk by, then YOU grab and pull them without them towards you without them expecting it, then we can see how far you get. Titus was lucky he was only suspended for up to 90 days. Oh, and it's not a definite 90 days. It's an UPWARD of 90 days, which means it can be 7 days, 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, etc. Or 55 days I'm torn...on the one hand even though I know he's a great person in real life I can't stand Titus' character on screen...BUT...I also know Vince is way out of touch with reality and would suspend somebody just for touching him...BUT... I really think this whole thing is a cover-up because he probably failed a drug test and since they have been pushing him as such a good guy/father with all the promos lately they came up with this little storyline thing...I mean look at the guy...he's clearly taking something... Common sense...don't you think it's really convenient that the suspension will last 90 days...? That's what all first time wellness failers get for a suspension... No, Wellness is 30 days, then 60, then fired for a year minimum.

I woke up to find Titus suspended.
This is worst -looks at the time- 5 minutes of Demented's life today.

*Fight Vince on a plane, he respects you* *Grab him in a playful manner, he suspends you* The f*** is wrong with this dude, hahaha? One of them was on camera.

I would grab a hold of Vince too if he had my 11 match win streak end to freaking Adam Rose. In that case Stardust and Tyler Breeze should be straight up punching Vince in the face for having to lose to Titus O'Neil to make that win streak in the first place.

The suspension seems a bit too excessive, but I understand that grabbing your boss in a playful manner during someone else's retirement segment is probably not the best idea.

Standards aren't what they were back then. This was an unscripted moment, and you have Titus grabbing Vince out of nowhere. No one even knows for sure why he did except the two of them. Calling Vince a scumbag over something that's trivial like this is one of the actual dumbest things on the planet.

I think the most relevant thing is simply that he pissed Vince off. You piss off the boss, you get punished, simple as that. Maybe something that was said, and/or a particularly bitchy mood by Vince led to such a lengthy suspension.

Yeah the lengthy suspension is stupid. This is a company that suspends people 60 days for two wellness violations which is worse than this. Yeah what Titus did was stupid and especially in front of a live crowd, but this is way f***ing tame in comparison of all the stupid shit that has happened backstage or even in the ring with the old school borderline illegal ribbing culture WWE has. Hell many of those ribs were caused by the alpha jock leader himself Vince McMahon. Like this is the same boss that shit himself on purpose and put his shit filled underwear on a stick to chase Pat Patterson and Briscoe backstage, or challenged Kurt Angle to a fight on a plane, or having Kurt Angle finally telling Edge that Edge isn't going to lose his hair 10 minutes before the hair vs hair match so he can make Edge cry, or nearly ran a member of creative off the road when he was losing an illegal street race he himself initiated. WWE will always have a frat house jock hazing environment as long as Vince is still around and being the ring leader initiating this. So I can understand Titus being confused and even thinking Vince would appreciate it when he was trying to lighten up the mood and cheer his boss up.
Like WWE has this weird carny backstage environment where you can get nuclear heatz for not going out of your way and shaking every persons hand backstage even if you didn't see that one person all day. Hell you could be the most charming most socially skilled person in the world and you'll still get accidental nuclear heatz for some random carny reason.
But the point is one of WWE's top PR men is suspended for 90 days (harsher than a two time wellness violater) during Wrestlemania season for trying to cheer up his socially retarded carny boss. Like I understand a week suspension or possibly two but really 90 days? I hope this becomes bad publicity and blows up in WWE's face

Titus is just a big dum dum who thought that he could carry on his playful behind the scenes friendship with Vince McMahon on-screen.
Unfortunately it was during a big emotional retirement ceremony where Vince isn't going to tolerate that shit.
It was unprofessional no doubt, and if I was Vince I would have told him off too, but 90 days would be ridiculously harsh. Anything longer than 2 weeks is harsh imo.

It could be a day, it could be a week, it could be a month, it could be 55 days (the Smackdown after Mania I believe), or yes 90 days.

A suspension is nothing, if he had tried that on the streets he would have been shot.
