WWE spotlight: Thank you Titus O’Neil for believing in people
By J.C.
For this WWE spotlight, it is something a little different. Normally there is an emphasis on championships and different milestones in wrestling as a way to leave a lasting legacy. While all of that may be a big thing as seen in the previous spotlight, there is more.
Titus O’Neil has done something that is far beyond championships, being in the main event or the guy in WWE. Titus made a lasting legacy that will influence not only wrestlers but people for generations to come when it comes to being an entertainer and philanthropy.
Titus O’Neil and his greatest legacy in WWE.
When thinking about Titus, one can’t help but have a big smile on their face. He is a true definition of the word philanthropist. A mix of his entertaining nature while in WWE and his philanthropy work really makes fans think about the state of the world and how genuine people like Titus keep everything going.
Whether it’s a pandemic or any other issue. It can sometimes leave people questioning everything and whether there are people who truly care about the issues and don’t have an endgame. It has become the norm of society, even in the midst of hard times.
Sometimes, Titus would make moves and fans would only find out from a third-party source about his contributions from helping athletes get into college to essential reading material for children, and that’s only a taste of what he has done.
There was no ego or putting himself above everyone else to make himself look better than everyone else. He continued to appear on WWE RAW with it being business as usual and continued to give in another way with entertainment.
Titus never had a motive and continued to provide joy to fans and it showed in everything he has ever done in and out of the ring. Whether it was Titus Worldwide or teaming with someone else, he continued to bring entertainment and joy with no strings attached.
He cares about people and wants to see people thrive. No matter his position, whether fans saw him on television weekly or occasionally, Titus used his platform to empower and help people succeed in life.
His work did not go unnoticed, and eventually, WWE gave him the Warrior award in 2020 during the WWE hall of fame ceremony. The recognition and acknowledgment by WWE was the cherry on top during a dark time as the pandemic and more questions of whether people cared about each other still came to mind.
Seeing the lives changed in real-time and seeing a difference from what Titus did gives hope that there are brighter days during the darkest of times. The hope is that many others who believe in people just like Titus will take the message to the heart of building people up and empowering them just like Titus has done all these years.
What Titus has done is bigger than wrestling and winning championships. Even though he continued to entertain and achieve milestones including a tag team title, and becoming the first-ever 24/7 champion, what Titus has done is much bigger than championships.
He believes in people and cares for people so much that he wants to see people succeed and he does it with joy and pride. That means more than any championship or photo on a poster can ever do.
If there were more people like Titus in this world, all of us would finally know peace and happiness. So for his role in making this world a little better while he continues to entertain in WWE, all any of us can say is thank you to Titus O’Neil.
