“To my gracious fans and the WWE Universe.

The reports and rumors concerning my concerning my boycotting Extreme Rules in Pittsburgh is false and inaccurate. I was not scheduled to attend or participate in the Extreme Rules match/production and otherwise was not booked for the show.

The talent present in Pittsburgh, which I was a part of, was asked to attend a mandatory meeting in which Mr. Terry Bollea addressed everyone and informed the same that he would be reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. At no point during, after or otherwise did I make any scene concerning Mr. Bollea’s communication to the talent. In addition, let it be known that I did not refuse to shake Mr. Bollea’s hand; we did not have any type of one-on-one interaction whatsoever that would or did necessitate any exchange between us individually.

As to the reinstatement of Mr. Bollea, I can only communicate that I am a proponent of second and even third chances for individuals that show true remorse, acknowledgement of wrongdoing, fulfill their punishment, if applicable, and otherwise put forth sincere efforts to correct the issues.

Unfortunately, I must echo the sentiment and dissatisfaction expressed by many of my fellow contemporaries concerning Mr. Bollea’s apology and its lack of true contrition, remorse and a desire to change. Mr. Bollea’s apology “that he didn’t know he was being recorded” is not remorse for the hateful and violent utterances he made which reprise language that has caused violence against blacks and minorities for centuries.

I stand firm in my position that Mr. Bollea is entitled to reinstatement; he was and is a role model, hero and icon to countless people. I hope that Mr. Bollea’s missteps in communicating to the WWE talent in Pittsburgh are not repeated to his fans and I expect that he shall pursue an agenda that clearly communicates to all third parties that his language was inappropriate, wrong and should not be tolerated in a civilized and inclusive society.

As the father of two young black men, I have spent their entire life and the majority of my adult life with a singular focus; being a role model for my children and young black boys and girls. I take tremendous pride in my charity work and the community outreach that I have fostered via the platform I have been given. I teach my sons love and tolerance for everybody, but I also teach them to operate in truth and respect.

I hope this clears up any confusion. I, like New Day, will continue to use my platform to positively affect, entertain, embrace, celebrate and love people from all backgrounds both inside and outside of the WWE Universe.

Sincerely,

Thaddeus Bullard aka WWE Superstar ‘Titus Oneil’”
 
Upon rewatch, sadly I found this pretty boring. First half of the match is way too slow and Angle got in 95% of the offense the entire match. Brock basically only hit 3 F5’s and that was it. He shouldn’t be a babyface in peril.

Wild that he even had to put something like this out, and not even benefit from it.

From a business perspective, why/how does it benefit WWE to have uniform titles like this?

The WWE logo is what the prop is, not the title specifically. If I constantly show you being the WWE champion with the WWE logo front and center while pointing at the WWE Wrestlemania logo on the WWE network then you are ingrained with the brand. WWE (the logo) is used for all the marketing Vince's company needs. The lettering is ingrained to our every day use, there is no mistaking this brand. So now I have all my top people who do the interviews holding a big *** logo on their shoulder to talk to the audience it's even more brand recognition inside and outside of the ring.

No real difference from a coke or fedex commercial. In that 30 seconds to 1 minute you would see the brand, it's colors, and it's brand recognition constantly.

Smart on the business part, but for people like us (I'll speak for me specifically) it's just terrible to have. No reason to have more than one world champion to start, no reason for all the main and tag titles to be the same, it doesn't give me any separation champion to champion. No one is more important or better than the other (men and women). So if all champions are the same, then what do I care? But I'm looking at it from a very different lens.
