14 Things We Learned From The Prime Time Players On Talk Is Jericho

By Brad Hamilton / September 3, 2015

Fans, don't get your hopes up because we've been here before, but it seems that WWE may actually be putting an emphasis on their tag team division once again. Every couple of years a few strong teams bolster the ranks and we get excited thinking we're experiencing a tag renaissance, and then several of the duos are broken up for no reason and tag teams matches go back to being filler. Along with a host of other talented pairings, The Prime Time Players have become one of the focal points of the division, having just recently dropped the World Tag Team championship back to The New Day. Darren Young and Titus O' Neil have a natural chemistry together which helps make their pairing work, which WWE finally realized after a disastrous attempt at a singles run for Titus. The partners sat down with Chris Jericho to discuss their early years, how they broke into the business, the decision behind their split and reformation, and the challenges Young has faced since coming out as the first openly gay WWE superstar. Stay tuned to find out what we learned.

14. Traveling

The guys open the interview with Darren joking that he still has trust issues with Titus after he turned on him when the PTP broke up, and O'Neil says he has to keep a supply of Quest bars on him at all times to keep Young happy. Jericho calls them a "classic tag team", pointing out that they even travel together, and Titus replies that they did even before they were paired up. He says that Darren was one of the first people to reach out and help him when he first started. Darren says he does the majority of the driving, and is used to it from his time working the independents, while Titus likes to tweet and sleep. For his part, O'Neil admits that he's not a great driver so it works out for both of them.
