Wrestler's Charitable Meal
While in San Diego, WWE wrestler Titus O'Neil treated a couple to a meal. The reception and service were described as poor by the grappler, a fact he attributed to his lunch guests—they were homeless.
Titus decided to give this restaurant a second chance by going back the next day with a large group 13 people—most of them homeless. O'Neil wrote of the experience "I'm not a fan of injustice or prejudice of any sort towards anybody. My mother raised me with the help of many others from all walks of life and there were many times that I had to go without as a youth because of a lack of financial resources … I'm not the richest man in the world, but money, fame, and status have never held me bondage because at the end of the day I've gone without before and God has always provided for me. Now I have the opportunity to do the exact thing that others did for me when I had nothing to give them in return."
