4. Titus Gets Horned

The entire Titus Brand gimmick is a rib, isn’t it?

It has to be, because if this is WWE’s way of making Titus into a star, they’ve provided Exhibit A as proof that they’ve forgotten how to make stars.

Titus O’Neil has been a perpetual joke for some time now, but Monday was yet another low point, with Titus hyping a match against Mark Henry as the Tussle in Texas. The announcers played along, calling it a major match, which then consisted of Titus flashing the Texas Longhorns horns, pointing them down and immediately eating a World’s Strongest Slam from the Silsbee, Texas native.

And that was that. And so ended the Tussle in Texas. If only we could end this goofy gimmick or have it pay off in some fashion.
