10 WWE Superstars Vince McMahon Completely Lost Interest In

7. Titus O'Neill

Last year€™s winner of the MEGA Celebrity Dad of 2015 award managed to win out over TV and film stars like Stephen Amell, Ashton Kutcher and Vin Diesel, as well as football legend and fashion icon David Beckham. That€™s a shortlist of men far more famous (and better looking) than him, yet Thaddeus €˜Titus O€™Neill€™ Bullard managed to come up trumps. That, plus his fantastic work ethic and ability to handle the media has made him one of the WWE€™s most popular stars on social media over the last year or so, and had made him a very popular man indeed around Stamford way. In terms of his in-ring potential, Titus always had a size and strength advantage over his peers - what people forget is that he can talk pretty much as well as anyone else on the roster and out of the two Primetime Players, he€™s the one who connects with the crowd. And yet, despite all of that he was just suspended for two months - the equivalent of a suspension for a second Wellness Policy violation - for playfully grabbing Vince McMahon€™s arm at the tail end of Daniel Bryan€™s farewell segment last week on RAW. If you€™re of the opinion that it€™s a discipline issue, and that the incident displayed a lack of professionalism on O€™Neill€™s part, let€™s bear in mind that Vince has actively encouraged a physical rough and tumble relationship with his male wrestling talent for three decades. This is the man who stalked Kurt Angle for hours, determined to score a takedown on the Olympic wrestling champion, and who likewise threw Kofi Kingston down in the aisle of a plane. The same man who laughed off being given the Hart Attack double-team move while out drinking with the boys. However, even before WWE took that strange disciplinary action it€™s been obvious for a while that they have no plans for Titus O€™Neill to move up in the card. It€™s a shame.
