"We all have the power to create our own destiny. Titus is living proof of that, and his story will inspire others to do the same." -- Roman Reigns, WWE Superstar "Titus O'Neil gives from his heart, his head, and his hands. He is not only a world-class athlete, he is a world-class human being." -- Frank Sanchez, Boys & Girls Clubs of America National Vice President of Sports, Entertainment, and Alumni Development "As a WWE Superstar and Florida Gator, Titus has entertained millions. But as a man, he changes lives one child and family at a time. Titus is living proof that the biggest and baddest can also be the best and kindest." -- Dr. Kent Fuchs, President of the University of Florida "A true example of a servant leader, Titus O'Neil represents all that is good in our community. A big man with an even bigger heart for those less fortunate, he leads by his faith, his example, and an unwavering commitment to leaving Tampa better than he found it." -- Bob Buckhorn, former mayor of Tampa "Titus O'Neil is committed to youth development and does wonderful work to help those from difficult backgrounds believe there are no limits on what they can achieve. His work to help our community is inspiring to everyone." -- Steve Spurrier, Titus's football coach at the University of Florida "Titus is the best example of a person refusing to be a product of bad circumstances. He turned a heartbreaking situation into a lifetime of inspiration. I'm blessed to know him. I'm proud to call him a brother. I hope everyone will read the story of his amazing journey and use it as inspiration to give, love, laugh, dream, work hard, and never make excuses." -- Dave Bautista One caring person can change the course of a child's life. There's No Such Thing as a Bad Kid chronicles Thaddeus Bullard's (known today as WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil) turbulent childhood years as he learned to forge his own path and realize his unique greatness, value, and potential. Living in an impoverished neighborhood overrun with violent crime and other perils, Titus wasn't expected to ever escape his troubled beginnings. By the time he was a teenager, he believed he was the bad kid he'd been labeled as -- until an adult looked him in the eye and said, "There is no such thing as a bad kid." From that moment on, Titus realized he was in control of his future, and he used his abilities to exceed those expectations, excelling first as a student athlete and then as a Superstar in WWE. Titus's remarkable story will inspire hope and determination in children in similar circumstances and help guide well-meaning adults in paying forward their successes to a generation of disadvantaged youth. WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil is an accomplished athlete and entertainer in the ring and a hard-working philanthropist out of the ring. He has helped raise millions for charities, secured scholarships for student athletes, and mentors at-risk youth. Paul Guzzo is a journalist, filmmaker, and author. A proud native of Ewing, New Jersey, he has lived in the Tampa Bay area since 1999.
