THANKSGIVING 2013 will always be remembered by Titus O'Neil – but maybe for all the wrong reasons.
The WWE star, 45, stunned fans and his boss Vince McMahon by THROWING UP live on Friday Night SmackDown.
O'Neil, a 6ft6 former college football star turned wrestler, joined WWE in 2009 and last year won the Hall of Fame Warrior Award.
But nine years ago, his Thanksgiving Day was ruined after an unfortunate incident featuring an eating contest, some pea soup and a Stetson hat.
O'Neil and a host of other fighters on the WWE roster gathered backstage to munch through some turkey leftovers from the day before.
Both O'Neil and the Great Khali got into an eating contest and began shovelling down huge amounts of food.

After around ten minutes, Khali collapsed into his pumpkin pie and O'Neil was declared the winner of the battle.
His prize was a surprise match against Cesaro – with the twist being it would happen immediately, despite O'Neil's gut still bulging from his turkey treats.
According to ringside legend John Layfield, the storyline required O'Neil to hold pea soup in his mouth and pretend to vomit some out after a beating from Cesaro.
But the soup didn't agree with O'Neil one bit, with the former football star beginning to throw up for REAL after a few well-timed stomach hits from his opponent.
'YOU HAD A GUY PUKE ON ME'
And in the firing line was veteran commentator Michael Cole.
Layfield told Steel City Con: "Titus was supposed to drink this pea soup and spit the pea soup out on Michael Cole.
"Well, he thought he was supposed to drink it and actually throw up. So he drinks it and throws up on Cole.
"Titus actually threw up on him on live television and Michael is out there with puke all over him and he says, 'I feel like I’m in a freaking frat party back in college'.
"Vince [McMahon] goes, don’t acknowledge it. Don’t say anything about it.
"Michael is like, 'I’m covered in puke. You had a guy puke on me and you don’t want me to talk about it?!'"

And Titus has since confirmed that he really was throwing up the wretched concoction for real, with fans themselves dry heaving just yards away.
O'Neil said: "I actually threw up for real.
"A couple [of fans] were upset at the beginning because they thought I was going to fake it.
"And then they realized that this guy is really throwing up.
