In 2019 WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) fans got to
experience life through the eyes of superstar and global
ambassador Thaddeus “Titus O’Neil” Bullard when he released
an autobiography “There's No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: How I
Went from Stereotype to Prototype” with help from Paul
Guzzo. Mr. Bullard had more to say about his life, this time
as a father of three. So the partnership returns with the
new release, “WRESTLING WITH FATHERHOOD: MY CHAMPIONSHIP
JOURNEY TO MY GREATEST TITLE; DAD” (ECW Press, 212pp,
$22.95.) There is a foreword by Hollywood producer Will
Packer.
For those who did not read the initial offering or do not
know Mr. Bullard’s background, go buy the book or do an
internet search before reading this review. Don’t worry I
will wait.
If you are thinking this a sequel with more stories of his
adventures in the wrestling ring and the football field,
forget that notion right now. This book does acknowledge his
careers in Arena Football League plus WWE, but only when Mr.
Bullard talks about balancing parenthood and the treacherous
road schedule WWE talent endure. Overall the book is a
journey through being married with children to being
divorced with children. In addition it tackles the
stereotypes of being a black father in America and how Mr.
Bullard used lessons from previous generations to better
himself. He also used lessons to help mold the futures of
his two sons and adopted daughter such as the chapter
entitled “How to Spoil Children (Without Raising Spoiled
Children.)
This is a great read for all, especially dad like me (but my
kids are 22 and 16) who grew up in a single parent home and
feared they would not be an adequate parent to their kids.
If you get the chance, I repeat please perform an internet
search for more information on the philanthropic side of Mr.
Bullard. Especially what he has done in the Tampa, Florida
area for nearly a decade.
