View Full Version : So What's the Likelihood that WWE actually shocks us and puts the belt on R-Truth?
Next Big Thing

When it came down to Truth and Cena I groaned because I figured it would be Cena/Miz again, so the double DQ turning into a triple threat match was a nice surprise.
Deep down I know that truth is likely only in that match to be pinned, but he's damn near 40. Why not give him one run with it, even if only till the next PPV?

Because he's 40.

Nah seriously, come on, who wants to see R-Truth with the title? I mean I like the guy and all, but he's pretty generic, and I usually find his promos boring. He's only good in a match to do his spots and then get pinned.
If he wins the match, yeah it'll be a pretty cool shock, and it isn't like R-Truth doesn't 'deserve' the belt, but I don't want to see it happen. I say let the Miz retain again. Maybe R-Truth and Cena will fall out over this, then it'll give Cena something to do, and maybe we'll get some old-school battle raps.
Miz can continue being awesome.

DH or Ziggler would have been great choices too, the obvious deal is to give R-Truth a good rub from two top guys, he is absolutely talented enough on all fronts to be in the main event of a WWE PPV, his match on Raw with Cena was great. I hope Miz retains, and I doubt very seriously R-Truth would get the title, I am expecting a great match though. I loved how Cena wrestle-stalked Truth and hit him with like 8 different moves, I didn't hear the fans chant "you can't wrestle" that night.
Jordan
04-13-2011, 11:36 AM
DH ain't going nowhere, they have too much love for the Dynasty, they just needed experience, eventually we will see DH hit it big. I hope the same for Kidd, but that's a little more iffy, maybe he will get cut, but he is deserving of a spot in my opinion.

It would seriously be one of the dumbest moves ever. Thankfully they won't do it.
If anything, they could use this to turn him heel and have him feud with Cena. It'd be a new feud, and might give R-Truth the chance to show some personality. With his current schtick though, he's going nowhere. He currently has less personality than Daniel Bryan. He may be more over, but he's bland as hell.

The company needs credible, fresh faces. They've done phenomenally pushing heels (Miz, Sheamus, Del Rio, Barrett, Rhodes, Ziggler, etc), but who have they elevated as a face really? Morrison, kinda, Bryan lost steam. With Edge gone, they have Cena, Orton, Mysterio, and...Big Show as the top active faces in the company. That just can't fly.

I say Truth wins in a flukey manner... like he ends up pinning Cena due to some accidental interference by A-RY. Miz fucking snaps and keeps trying to prove Truth's win was a fluke, that he was never pinned to lose the belt (and in his mind, he's still the champion... you know Miz could pull THAT off. Maybe even going as far as demanding the GM strip Truth and give him his belt back.) leading to him re-capturing in a 1 on 1 match at the next PPV. It elevates Truth to at least be a credible main event threat, it pads Miz's title reign counts, and it gives both guys something to do.
O'course, my predictions are usually shit. ^_^

Cena has proven that you simply need to be over, not good, to be WWE champ. Truth is one of the more over guys in the company, so I don't see how him winning is any more unlikely than anyone else.
That said, I'm sure he'll just be used as the fall guy for Miz. Cena lost at Mania, but no doubt they want to keep the belt on Miz so this is the only way to have Miz retain and Cena not shoulder the loss

Like others are saying, Truth is there to do the job and keep both guys strong. Not a bad choice, either. His ring style is more flashy and fast paced, which, in the past, has shown to bring out the best in both Miz and Cena.
With that said, I don't see a long term push in the future for him. He's over enough, but since moving to Raw, he hasn't done shit. He was pretty over and on a decent rise while on SmackDown!, but he's been mid card fodder since coming over.
If he does turn heel, going into a program with Cena would be refreshing. I just don't know how serious I could take him. Glad they changed his finisher though.

Mr. Nerfect
04-18-2011, 05:23 AM
I was genuinely surprised when I saw R-Truth named a #1 Contender on RAW last week. I hadn't been on the old intraweb in a bit, so I assumed that R-Truth was getting pushed for one or more of the following reasons:
1) He's over. This is probably the simplest and most obvious one people are missing. You can say that he's a caricature, or that no one takes him seriously, or whatever -- but marks fucking eat the dude's shtick right up. He didn't even need to rap coming out and the crowd was responding better to him than John Morrison. While Truth is pretty old, yes, the dude seems to know how to tow a company line, and that brings me to the next point:
2) It's a jab at John Morrison. Given the history between Miz and Morrison, and the wave of momentum Morrison has been riding lately, it seemed odd to have him lose to Truth. It wouldn't surprise me if it was Morrison's spot, and it was taken from him as a "wisen up" thought of thing. Still, I personally would have preferred Dolph Ziggler in the spot, but whatever.
3) With a bunch of releases coming up, the WWE wants to give Truth one more big chance to really catch on out of courtesy. Maybe the dude has agreed to walk away, or something like that? I'm not sure if the WWE would ever give Truth a courtesy World Title reign (isn't the dude like banned from Canada?), but they might give him a courtesy main event run.
4) I legitimately considered the possibility that R-Truth like foiled a rape, or saved a child from a burning building and was getting a push because he brought the WWE a bunch of good publicity. :-\
Either way, even though I'm not the biggest R-Truth fan, marks do love him, and that's ultimately what matters to Vince. That he would have a lot of respect for the business, and stands out from other guys (even if it's in the most annoying way possible), all seems to have led to Truth getting a title shot.
People say there's absolutely no chance that Truth will walk out of Extreme Rules with the WWE Title, but I don't think anyone predicted Miz vs. Cena vs. Truth as the main event of Extreme Rules. Also, keep in mind the X-Factor:
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IeytdOn8SH8/TX4gRvVshqI/AAAAAAAADOs/n5NKVIosWjs/s1600/curtis.png
Johnny Curtis is waiting to make his official impact on the WWE roster, and while many people here aren't high on him, I'm willing to bet that someone in the WWE is. They let him win NXT over Brodus Clay, who was involved in a World Title match at WrestleMania. The WWE just hired a soap opera writer, and his first idea pitched could have been Johnny Curtis showing up randomly and helping his former WWE Pro win the WWE Title, because he and Truth still have a WWE Tag Team Title shot, and it's more attention for Curtis by association.
The Miz and Cena can call out Truth on not being a credible WWE Champion, and Truth can be all "Mang, do you know what you did to me?!?" to Curtis.
Okay, that's not a very likely scenario, but in a kayfabe sort of way, R-Truth actually has a secret weapon that could make a win quite easy. Especially if he turned heel alongside it. But it's more likely that Curtis will cost R-Truth the match, start a feud with his former Pro, and then Cena will complain about not being pinned (because he wants to be the WWE Champion for his match against The Rock), and The Miz vs. Cena will happen again at Over the Limit in some sort of final gimmick match between the two.

I don't see how you guys can keep assuming it was Morrison's spot to lose. He's been in title matches before, plus I remember Morrison winning the number one contender spot then they had him lose to Miz on Raw. He didn't even get a PPV build up. I feel like WWE lost confidence in Morrison as a WWE champion or perennial main eventer long before this Melina/Wrestlemania issue, but this issue did probably put the nail in his coffin for now.
