Video at link. Is this the WWE's way of "being consistent" in light of dumping Hulk Hogan for supposedly uttering the n-word when he was a kid? I suppose as soon as Sharpton finishes up smoozing with Bernie Sanders over chicken and waffles at Sylvia's he'll hop in his limo and scoot up to Stamford to have a "chat" with Triple H and the McMahons.

It was unprofessional. WWE is a weird hybrid of sports and entertainment. Because it is sports they have to make sure everyone follows rules because they can hurt each other if they don’t follow the script.

This is actually reported as sport, as in "fox Sports"? What does the "WW" stand for any way? Wally World?

Vince McMahon is getting older, as we all are. You wouldn’t think it, but he’s 70 y/o. Maybe he’s feeling a little more vulnerable than he would have, say 15 years ago. Most of these wrestlers are in the prime condition of their lives. It’s like play-rassling, but with a Puma cat.
To: Impala64ssa
It’s because he rough-housed with Mcmahon and he’s not one of McMahon’s or HHH’s boys, so he gets suspended.

From all reports, Titus O’Neil is a legit good guy...hate to hear this.
To: Trumpinator
Well I know... but was anybody in serious risk of harm to anything more than his ego?
Sometimes people just need to know how to laugh at themselves. This is what has kept rasslin from turning PC. The boys know how to have fun.

This is one sport I’ve never had the slightest inclination to follow.
High school and college wrestling is the real deal.
This stuff... worthless.

Well still. I’d think a little talking-to would have fixed the problem... like hey you should be careful you don’t know your own strength and not everybody is in your league any more. And then if it keeps up, take sanctions.

It’s ultimately a kind of drama.

If this was done during a taping it messed up the way the show flows. James Brown, the singer, used to fine his band every time they messed up a performance. That is how I kind of view this punishment.

If it impaired the act, I could understand. I thought this was just about egos and joshing around.

Yep, like my dear ol’ Daddy used to say, you gotta be a in shape athelete to do the things these guys do, I don’t care if it’s fake or not. And then there is this:

I think even the joshing around is scripted I am guessing.

Of course this being the WWE one must contemplate the possibility that this is a “suspension”. Guess we’ll find out over the next 3 months.
