RIPPA Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 AR FOX vs. JT DUNN vs. KEVIN BENNETT TITUS O'NEIL vs. SHEAMUS vs. JACK SWAGGER http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2f1uok_ab1-main-event-jack-swagger-vs-titus-o-neil_sport
goc Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I am a really big Titus fan so on instinct I want to vote for him however I have seen like 1 AR Fox match ever so I'll watch those 2 matches and give him a fair shot.
EVA Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 That Gulak match from the other day was all I needed to see from Fox to know that I hate that guy. 3
DylanWaco Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Voted for Titus, though I actually enjoy AR Fox for what he does. The problem is that Titus is probably the most underutilized guy I can think of, in the sense that if the WWE had a 6'7, ex-football player, white guy, with that charisma, and that physique, I don't think he'd be splitting wins with Jack Swager on Superstars 3
scraylo187 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I want to love Titus, but lately he just seems to be getting worse. Even his stuff with Sami was pretty 'eh' and he blew his own elimination spot at the Rumble.
steve Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 That Gulak match from the other day was all I needed to see from Fox to know that I hate that guy. I was coming to post pretty much this exact thing.
NikoBaltimore Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Is it possible it's more an issue with Titus's age? If he was younger I'd imagine he'd have a better shot. Haven't seen much from AR Fox save for one match a year and a half ago. Like goc it wouldn't be fair to vote based on lack of match viewings from me. I'll either hold off for now or just abstain from this vote.
Cristobal Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I voted for Titus O'Neill and against Jun Akiyama. Wrestling is weird.
GOTNW Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I REALLY like Titus and am confused as to why WWE doesn't use a charismatic worker like him better. Those Big E matches on Superstars were way better than I'd have ever expected. He got some WOTYC hype at PWO I believe which was going overboard but it's easy to see why he did. AR Fox just kills himself doing flips. I haven't seen him do anything particularly offensive or stupid (in regard to the quality of his matches and not his own health/safety) but he does nothing for me.
JRGoldman Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 AR Fox is like the epitome of an Indy wrestler who can literally make his body do anything I could make an action figure do, but somehow never learned to throw a convincing forearm strike. That said, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't fuck up his own rumble elimination.
RIPPA Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 I see a whole lot bitching and a whole lotta no nominations Hmmm...
DylanWaco Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Is it possible it's more an issue with Titus's age? If he was younger I'd imagine he'd have a better shot. Ask Batista 2
nate Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 AR Fox is the drizzling shits. Like, I watch his matches with the sick investment that I might see him seriously injure himself in front of 20 people.
MORELOCK Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I see a whole lot bitching and a whole lotta no nominations Hmmm... Fair enough. I should have thrown Swagger's name out there, off the top of my head. An Uso probably would have handed both of these guys their ass as well. ETA: Titus has done absolutely nothing this year, so even Fox being the shitty half of that Gulak match should give him the edge here. Matt, you're responsible for this debacle: where are the C-Show gems?
Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I thought that Gulak/Fox match was dull but not excessively terrible or anything. That said, I genuinely like Titus O'Neal and feel happy when he's on screen doing weird shit. Dude is way under utilized as a character, and just about perfectly utilized as a wrestler.
JCM Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I liked Titus' NXT run. Of course he was in there with Zayn and Neville, but still you could see there's something there. I had to stop the Fox/Bennett match at 6:45 all the business exposing was making my head hurt. Fox's strikes makes RVD look like Vader.
Phil Schneider Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Voted for Titus, though I actually enjoy AR Fox for what he does. The problem is that Titus is probably the most underutilized guy I can think of, in the sense that if the WWE had a 6'7, ex-football player, white guy, with that charisma, and that physique, I don't think he'd be splitting wins with Jack Swager on Superstars I am certainly not going to argue that the WWE doesn't have a serious race problem, but they also seem to be weirdly unable to push big guys correctly anymore. Masters, Gallows, Drew McIntyre, Kozlov, whatshis face with the nice crossbody who feuded with Finlay, all solid to great big young athletic guys they just pooped away. Hell look at Swagger who was a NCAA champion, athletic marvel and is stuck trading wins with Titus O'Neal on Superstars 1
Jiji Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The one exception being Rusev, whose booking has been up there with Rollins' for best this past year. Sheamus has always been a fairly protected hoss too. But, yeah, between size and race, the odds aren't in Titus' favor.
goc Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I watched the JT Dunn match and that was all I needed to vote Titus. AR Fox would probably be pretty good after a nice long stint in NXT though.
supremebve Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I think AR Fox needs to do the Pac/Ricochet thing and travel the world and round out his game. He is talented, athletic, and almost completely unwatchable for me. He could be a guy I see in a year or two and be amazed how much he improved, or he could remain a super talented dude that I never want to see in the ring. I could be more apathetic about Titus O'Neil, but not by much. He is a big guy who has never done anything that made me care about him...oh except when his manager threw a shoe at someone and yelled, "Yo, momma." That guy got fired a long ass time ago. Titus gets a win because I don't actively hate the way he wrestles, I just don't care about him wrestling.
The Man Known as Dan Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Can I rewrite in vote King Cuerno? I want to do that.

The Pirate guy with the hot second? The white guy with the terrible dreadlocks who somehow got into a MITB match (or was it Elimination Chamber) God getting old sucks...
