R-Truth to have Kenny Gimmick?

[Lock Jaw]

Source: wrestlingnewscoops.net

Sources inside the WWE say that after the segment on RAW in which R-Truth was blown up by MacGruber, there is talk of adding a more comedic element to R-Truth's character. Much like the character Kenny in South Park, R-Truth would be killed every episode, but come back the very next week with no explanation. Vince is said to be very high on the idea.

[kareru]

i have no words

[VSG]

Now why couldn't they do it with Batista or Hornswoggle instead?

[Xero]

[Mr. Pierre]

I think it's a pretty stupid idea, especially doing it with someone like R-Truth. I'm not a huge Truth fan, but the guy is way over, so why not plug him into a meaningful program? If they really wanna use this comedy crap, use it with someone who's strictly a comedic act, like Hornswoggle (as VSG said)

[NeanderCarl]

They already did this with Tim White. It's not wise to do it it again.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

This is a great idea. This is especially great in the wrestling industry where wrestler deaths are not a touchy subject at all and have not been the primary source of controversy in the business over the past decade or so.

[Next Big Thing]

That's fucking morbid. Especially the way it comes across on tv.

[Johnny Vegas]

This is a great idea. This is especially great in the wrestling industry where wrestler deaths are not a touchy subject at all and have not been the primary source of controversy in the business over the past decade or so.

Basically. Sometimes i wonder, if this is true, what has been going through Vince's head since Mid-2002.

[RGWhat316]

Typical Vince, just now finding out about something that happens on a tv show. I agree that it should be someone else instead of Truth. It seemed he was getting pushed better, so this would be a step back.

[Poit]

Oh my God, you killed R-Truth! You bastard!

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol I thought this was programming for children.

Oh well I guess we knew it was all going to hell anyways.

[Xero]

Let's see Linda explain this one.

[CSL]

Meh. He's never gonna win a World title anyways.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Seeing R-Truth die every week only makes me want to tune in more. Awesome work. :y:

Seriously, it'd be no worse than the Lunchtime Suicide episodes. If anything, the deaths will be far less serious.</font>

OH MAH GAWWWWD, YOU KILLED R TRUTH! YOU BATH TURDS!!!!

[parkmania]

And we all remember how much of a push R-Truth received from his Pretty Ricky segments.

[Xero]

He's a midcarder, over and black. That's like the trifecta of not getting a proper push in WWE.

I think it's weird you assume he actually found out about it. He probably thinks it's a fresh idea. You know, like a white rapper or that pirate guy.

[Kane Knight]

Anyway, I doubt this is true, but if it is, I'm sure it will be handled tastefully and with the care it deserves.

[XL]

So, to summerise...

1) Killing a wrestler on TV is a real bad idea given the number and focus on deaths in the industry.

2) Truth is pretty over as it is and WWE already failed with a comedic element in his act.

3) Vinny is TWELVE years too late with this idea!!

But Vince doesn't know how to listen to reason.

THIS!!!


TBH, I'm waiting for the WWE to put Shad, JTG, Truth, Shelton, Kofi, Tarver, Otunga, and Alcia Fox as the WWE version of Fat Albert's Gang. :roll:

[KayfabeMan]

Oy.

[Kane Knight]

But Vince doesn't know how to listen to reason.

Plus, it didn't work out very well the last time someone said it.

[Ermaximus]

I'd be more worried that the first time they do this, another wrestler will off himself. :shifty:

[ImpactPlayer365]

Stupid idea, but R Truth is just another bland wrestler for the little ones to scream for. So oh fucking well.

[Kane Knight]

Benoit was a hero for ending that stupid storyline.

[Kane Knight]

Granted, few are willing to sacrifice their families and themselves....

This has to be BS.

Okay, watch this following clip and tell me that this proposed angle is out of the realm of possibility.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I didn't know it was going to happen when I watched RAW, and my feelings were like this: "Woot! R-Truth is annoying. Thank goodness they blew him up! Wait, why aren't they taking this seriously? This is making me feel a bit awkward. Shit...aren't they going to explain what happened to R-Truth?"

This angle is definitely not PG enough for the WWE to do, either. It could have some pretty decent backlash attached to it.

[XCaliber]

If there's anyone they should be using for this it's Satino since he's not really doing anything atm anyway besides comic relief and even then not very often lately.

[Droford]

Bring back K-Kwik and let him get Rowdy.

Also, say R Truth wins the WWE Title and then he "dies"..does he have to forfeit the belt?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Why not give him a Towelie gimmick instead?

[Lock Jaw]

Rumors are this is going to lead to a big push for R-Truth.








Off a cliff.

Wouldnt that be a Wile E Coyote gimmick?

[Lock Jaw]

No. Wile E Coyote goes over the cliff not because he has been pushed, but because something or other has backfired on him.

[BollywoodSingh]

This is stupid. If they want to do this gimmick, do it with someone that's not that talented.

R-Truth is pretty solid in the ring and has an explosive style that can get the crowd hot. He is pretty comfortable on the mic (although I don't like the content of his promos, at least he has a lot of charisma...just has to work on what he says) and is pretty over already.

That shit was HILARIOUS... Mcgruber was the best host ever, finally somebody who was willing to fit into the world of wrestling and add something new.

I don't know if killing R-Truth every week is good, but it could work. I just hope thats not the end of the line for him.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Got my hopes up that the title was talking about an idea to maybe make Truth more like...

Did THAT Kenny really even have a gimmick? Aside from maybe wearing a sweatband.

[Sixx]

High all the time? BECAUSE HE'S BLACK?

That's racist, man. Not cool.

[DAMN iNATOR]

He was supposed to be I guess like one of those guys who worked out a lot, and Victoria managed him for a while. He'd usually come out with her by his side and she'd be holding a puke bucket, towel and a bottle of water, and sometimes he'd take a break during a match to towel off, get some water or whatever. That's about the extent of it.

[Haze]

Oh yea! this idea could work...

[RiX1024]

That will never happen, South Park is so 1998! I would of been pulled off int he Attitude Era but not now!

[The Mackem]

LOL, reminds me of the story of how Scot Hall ended up with the Razor Ramon gimmick as well.

[Savio]

Vince is said to be very high.All that needs to be said

[Xero]

lol

[BollywoodSingh]

Whether the gimmick is done in 1998 or 2010, it's still a bad idea, but it would have been a worse idea to have done it in 1998. South Park was really popular at that time so it wouldn't make sense for WWE to be copying exactly what another TV show is doing at the same time.

[kareru]

how about they do a prophet Muhammad angle where a wrestler keeps saying the the prophet Muhammad is coming to the wwe and after building it up for weeks they finally reveal the prophet Muhammad but in actual fact he is 'the profit' Muhammad, a hi flying persian businessman similar to a ted dibiase/irs gimmick

[Rammsteinmad]

:lol:

Or just reveal it to be Hassan.

Why are y'all calling R-Truth a midcarder? He is a multiple time NWA World Heavyweight Champion.
