I thought we saw some shades of grey added to R-Truth over the last few months. But they didn't lead anywhere. Anyways, IMO, he doesn't have the Champion look. A decent wrestler with half-decent mic skills who can whip up the crowd, but outside of his entrance and cheap-pop local city name call, that's about it.

I really don't think the WWE would put the World Title on a guy with criminal history. Especially in the PG-era. Wasn't that one of the reasons MVP never got anything more than a teased push prior to asking for his release? The biggest difference between the two (besides MVP being the overall better talent, in my opinion), is that Truth might be a little healthier, but is ultimately happy to accept being a mid-carder who gets to headline multi-man PPV matches.

I personally think that Truth has got a better chance of heading into the Hall of Fame than winning the World Title. The title requires Truth to be a PR guy, and the man can barely speak English. Truth seems to have plenty of years left in his tank, physically, and could really create some stars. He's the vanguard to the upper-card, and any heel that beats him is going to get booed and taken more seriously, whereas any face that teams with him is going to get more over. He'd be like a Koko B. Ware inductee, but I honestly believe it is more likely -- especially if Truth becomes an agent or something down the track.

Lock Jaw is correct, he wasn't a bad heel in TNA. If they gave Thwagger a chance to get over his speech impediment, and let Jeff Hardy gain enough talking time over the years to become halfway decent on the stick like he is now, it should be nothing to let Ron do his thing. Biggest problem is his gravely voice. He's not nearly as bad as Malenko, but still... Stevie Richards got over it, and so can this guy. Give him some meaningful things to say instead of merely the cheap pop intro, and give him the opportunity to ANNUNCIATE without having to yell into a mic (which, imo, was one of the best things about the "heel turn cocktease" he had with Cena).

Yet Booker T was a multiple time champion and currently on the Smackdown! announce team. Go figure.

i think if they built it up right it could be good..like have him come out sayin he is droppin the rap and all that, and say its time to start focusing on the gold. i dont see anything wrong with him gettin a run with the belt. its all about how they build to it tho. i think it would be a feel good moment if he won it

It's not saying anything new, but I too don't get why they wouldn't let him use his real name.

Knowing WWE they'll probably think of Ron Killings being a cool name once he's retired and they'll just give it to someone else.

You want him to drop the one thing that has him over with the crowd - effectively turning heel - to create a "feel good moment"?

I dunno, seems like a guy pretty ok for a live crowd but not anybody you can really put a company behind so I doubt it. I think the guy's ok, he's got good energy and he's ok on the mic when he has the town correct and can say 'what's up' to the rhythm of his own theme music.
