cool arrow Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Titus seems like an adult version of a dimwitted middle school bully. Which just goes to show that he chose the correct career path.
hammerva Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Titus has kids!? Man...their entire gimmick is transforming before our very eyes. Would it be better for the gimmick if he had kids from many many different women like Shawn Kemp
Big Fresh Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Best joke I've seen so far today: "Darren Young finally gets his own locker room! Congratulations, Darren!" 1
nate Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 On the "Superstar bringing an animal to the ring:" Daniel Bryan. Fainting goat. The heels constantly scare the goats into unconsciousness. Play it up with "Piper just pulled that kid's leg off!" seriousness (see also: Chikara - Mysterious and Handsome Stranger, as a guideline for how to make it work). Re: Darren Young - I just hope no one in WWE has seen "Chasing Amy," to assume that gay + black = "notoriously the swishiest of the bunch" is an actual character trait, as opposed to bullshit Kevin Smith's navel gazing social criticism.
Big Fresh Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The first wrestler to be a fucking moron about this goes to..... Shannon Moore! Who just compared discrimination against gay people to discrimination against people with tattoos.

To use another Chasing Amy reference, hopefully they don't do an angle Titus O Neil gets attracted to a babyface diva and decides to settle any differences with Darren by offering to have a threesome
Josh Mann Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 To people saying NBD because of Pat Patterson...he was winkingly acknowledged as being gay in the most sneering, condescending, gay-panicky ways possible. Sure, he had backstage power and wasn't held back on the basis of his sexuality, but guys like Jim Ross went out of their way to make sure everyone knew it was Not Okay. See also: Goldust, Billy and Chuck, the Rock implying every opponent he ever faced was a nancyboy. If they handle the DY thing right, it will be a big deal. As for what they should do, I'd say acknowledge it in passing and then move on. If they have to turn it into a story, the best bet really might be to turn them face by having some obnoxious heel (any of 3MB would work) pull out one of good ol' JR's shitty lines and letting Titus beat the ever-loving shit out of the guy and ask if anybody else has a problem with his partner. Biggest actual Be A Star move they can pull off. The seeds may already be in motion for that. Titus just posted this:I'm VERY PROUD of @DarrenYoungWWE He's been like Family 2Me&My Kids And that won't Change! #ImInFullSupportOfDarren Dude, Titus is like 6'6" and that kid on the right who looks about 9 is up to his armpit. Forget the FCW roster, sign HIM. 2
Greggulator Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The easiest, built-in route is Zeb's stable as homophobic, bullying heels against a face PTPs.
LooseCannon Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The easiest, built-in route is Zeb's stable as homophobic, bullying heels against a face PTPs. What about a beat-down by the Wyatt family, with Darren Young being tied up and dragged behind a pickup, James Byrd style (except he survives). The tide turns when libertarian superhero Kane returns from filming his movie sequel and forges an unlikely alliance with the Prime Time Players. 1

mattdangerously Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The first wrestler to be a fucking moron about this goes to..... Shannon Moore! Who just compared discrimination against gay people to discrimination against people with tattoos. Still probably the smartest member of the Hardy posse.
Gonzalez Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 This thread is gonna die an early death me thinks. Why exactly? Nothing really wrong with the current discussion.

Isn't that kinda like being the world's tallest dwarf?
scraylo187 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Or they can go the route of remembering that wrestlers play characters and he can keep chanting MILLIONS OF DOLLARS I haven't exactly been chomping at the bit for them to justify why the rapey fire demon is a Libertarian. 3
The Natural Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Good on Darren Young. More tolerance and acceptance of others makes for a better world. 5
ultimoDANK Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 This thread is gonna die an early death me thinks.Why exactly? Nothing really wrong with the current discussion.Well the James Byrd angle idea was pretty rough. I've just become disillusioned with the monthly threads. 1

Nothing really wrong with the current discussion.Well the James Byrd angle idea was pretty rough. I've just become disillusioned with the monthly threads. That's a side effect of liking execution too much. Have you seen some of these posts?
