Everyone's up in arms over the length of the suspension. I wouldn't get too upset about that because the length is just speculation at the moment and could easily be way off.
As for the suspension itself, I imagine everyone was probably instructed to act a certain way. To not do anything to put attention anywhere but with Daniel. It's sad, but everyone who was watching the Network saw it and MANY were talking about it. So in that sense, I can understand them being upset.

well there goes Titus's push (no pun intended) - not like most of you wanted the guy to be pushed anyways.

I thought this was an odd story until I see the video. I don't understand why he wound do that. He basically blindsided Vince. Horrible idea. I hope this isn't the catalyst for his release. They won't let him go over this directly but he's going to miss three months, which is difficult for many to come back from, and they weren't really doing anything with him as it is. I'm a fan and I hope he can bounce back from this terrible decision. Hmmm.. Why would Titus do that in the first place? Very odd. I think he was trying to remind Vince that he still works there. Apparently they forgot.

I'll play devils advocate. One of the most beloved wrestlers amongst fans and people in the back just tearfully retired in his prime. Not a good time to horse around with the CEO on live stream.

This is definitely a weird one.
It was obviously far from the best time for Titus to do something like that but Vinnie Mac seemed to be enjoying it as much as Titus was. He also probably didn't even realize they were still on air because as far as I know the "celebration continues on the WWE Network" wasn't even advertised during the show until the very end. They kept going on about a new episode of Ride Along airing immediately after RAW so I feel like there were never originally plans for the retirement segment to run as long as it did and finish on the Network.

I saw it on the network & just thought they were goofing around. What's the big deal?
This reminds me of Paul London getting punished for laughing during (I believe) McMahon walking past the roster before his limo blew up. Just, dumb.

Also, I'm pretty sure Bryan had walked off the stage to the back by that point. So that's another reason to assume Titus didn't know he was on TV when he did it. I'm trying to see the reason why this is a big deal, and I really just can't. This is wrestling. I get that they're a publicly traded company, but it's still wrestling. Try telling an adult who doesn't watch wrestling that you like wrestling, they laugh at you. I just think everyone needs a reality check on how seriously we should be taking this kind of stuff. It's like wrestling isn't allowed to be fun anymore.

Maybe Titus and Vince have been secretly seeing each other with nobody knowing, and they had a fight and this was the only way for Titus to get Vince to notice him?? haha

No clue why he would do that in the first place.

I remember seeing that but thinking nothing of it, I just assumed Vince and Titus are pals.

I can see why it was a disruption, 90 day suspension? Maybe not. Uncalled for? Yes. Complete wrong time wether they were on or off air. I hate to sound weird about it but it looked like it was going to get physical lol

Odd punishment but hey, we don't have to see him on TV for a couple of months. One less thing to fast forward on RAW.

Stupid. Sometimes the WWE makes me scratch my head.
Actually...it's quite often they do that.

Time and a place. Simply put, what Titus did wasn't bad. Vince seemed fine with it. But it wasn't the time and place to goof off. It wasn't a birthday celebration, wasn't pandering to the crowd, someone just had to retire due to serious medical issues. Even if you didn't know the guy, didn't like him, don't care about him. Let the ones who do care be somber and have their moment. Go goof off while away from everyone.

"DON'T EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN SHELTON GODDAMMIT I'M GONNA SUSPEND YOUR ASS" i'm glad someone made this joke. I was going to but couldn't figure out if it was Shelton or Kingston, and who it was said to.

saw it now for the first time. Weird. It played out differently from what I thought. I thought they were in a group huddle or all heading to the back at once, and they kind of just bumped shoulders and gave a hug as they left. Instead, it's Vince leaving, and out stretches this arm to grab him back. Vince could have fallen or tore a muscle. Just kind of a weird goof I guess by Titus. Still there has to be some level of decorum. I would like to think that most of you would know not to goof with the boss until business was over.
