The incident was not shown on the official broadcast – subscribers to its WWE Network were able to catch a glimpse though – and after news of the suspension hit, several versions of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alTygCsYDi4">video</a> were widely available on the Internet. </p><p>Many fans saw the suspension – initially a 90-day suspension that was reduced by 30 days – as a racist move by the controversial CEO. WWE denied the suspension was racially motivated.</p><p>“The suspension of Titus O’Neil had nothing to do with race and everything to do with unprofessional conduct,” the company said in a <a href="http://nypost.com/2016/02/10/fans-call-vince-mcmahon-a-racist-for-suspending-black-wrestler/">statement to the New York Post.</a></p><p>The WWE also sent the post a copy of a text they said O’Neil sent the organization “‘I feel like sh** now so if you have to let me go, I understand. Stupid mistake.’”</p><p>O’Neil (his real name is Thaddeus Bullard) graduated from the University of Florida and <a href="http://www.foxsports.com/florida/story/titus-o-neil-thaddeus-bullard-florida-gators-090914">played football for the Gators</a> (1997-1999) as a defensive tackle under head coach Steve Spurrier.  He is well-known for his <a href="http://www.prowrestling.com/the-today-show-takes-a-look-at-titus-oneil-charity-work-more/">charity work</a> and is one of the more well-liked wrestlers on the circuit.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.pwinsider.com/article/99695/wwe-star-suspended.html?p=1">O’Neil move</a> likely played a role in WWE’s stock dipping on Feb. 10 – it fell 4.4% (72 cents each) to $15.75 per share from $16.47 the previous day.</p><p>While the incident did keep social media humming for awhile, the real hit to the stock occurred the following day (Feb. 11) when shares dipped as much as 10% after WWE revealed that subscribers for its WWE Network fell to 1.2 million in the fourth quarter from 1.3 million in the previous period. The stock finished the day at $14.94 per share, down 5.1%. WWE shares closed at $16.40 each, down 2%, (30 cents) on Feb.12.</p><p>The weak WWE Network numbers overshadowed what was otherwise a strong quarter for the content company – revenue was up 18% and the company reported $3.4 million in net income, compared to a loss of $600,000 in the previous year.</p>
