5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (June 8)
4. Titus O'Neil > Ryback
Titus O'Neil, a wrestler who will be remembered as a punchline, wants to be remembered instead as a champion, per an interview with Natalya on her Calgary Sun blog. This is almost tragically delusional; Zach Gowen is better than Titus at putting one foot in front of the other. Said Titus:
"I’ve always had goals to be as successful as possible in multiple areas of my life. I feel I have everything it takes to be a champion in WWE."
Everything it takes.
Titus cannot do anything. Titus cannot...
1) Work. Titus has never once wrestled a match beyond "passable", which never stopped Jinder Mahal, admittedly, but Titus is not tangentially associated with an emerging market WWE intends to monetise.
2). Cut a promo. Titus trips over his tongue as frequently as he trips over his legs.
3) Get over. Titus has never once lit an arena up. Even in Jeddah, the sight of the funniest botch in wrestling history, the crowd didn't react.
4) Project emotion. Titus is a decent and humble fella, by most accounts, but he's fundamentally unable to emote in the squared circle. Watching a Titus O'Neil match is a curious phenomenon. It's impossible to care about anything he does in there. It has taken four hours to write this entry. He is that uninspiring.
It's no wonder Titus can't stay in his lane. The guy has no sense of direction.
