No matter how superior you try to act and smart you try to be, and how many times you roll your eyes at what I say, the fact remains that your opinion sucks. Simple as that.
He's over... so he got involved in the match. |

It makes sense that they are pushing him since he is over but he does have this "flavor of the month" vibe to him

I also know he doesn't stand a chance -- that's another reason, as I see it, putting him in there is a waste of time. Not sure how a thread in which I'm just bitching to see myself bitch is a flaunt of superiority unless, again, you're just looking for reasons to dislike me. I really don't expect you, or anyone else, to give a shit about whether or not I like any given midcarder. I just don't think he belongs in that position. So...there ya go. |

have to agree with this. AfterLife just has some type of resentment towards Killings.

for a person talking about other's lack of perceived understanding in this thread, you show a profound lack of understanding with this statement. especially since you've said it more than once now.

Lets all not forget Mr. Killings is also a former TNA world champion. Can Mr. Knox say the same?

R-Truth > Ziggler
Ziggler has no redeeming qualities to me. He's not awful but nothing really impresses me about him. I find him dull. Truth has some freshness about him at least. |

Freshness? He's playing the same character he played a decade ago.

I don't dislike R-Truth. He's a good worker, although the character he plays is not someone I really want to like. I'd prefer it if he was playing a deeper character, or a heel, but whatever. The target demographic is happy with Truth, so the WWE is happy with Truth. That's the way the WWE, for the most part, works.
But there's some other factors that I think go in to helping Truth's cause: 1) He's black. The WWE wants to push some black people. I guess Shelton Benjamin is not black enough. But you can see some similarities between the way Kofi Kingston has been pushed, and the way R-Truth has been pushed. Both have been feuding with a major heel (Chris Jericho/Randy Orton), and both have found themselves getting upsets here and there to keep them in the remote title hunt. 2) He's been wrestling for almost ten years now, and is 38 years old. May not sound like much of a selling point, but Truth has proven himself to be dedicated to the business, and a guy that the WWE can depend upon. He's probably not as much of a kid as some of the other young guys, either. He obviously rubs people the right way, because both the WWE and TNA have said "Okay, we're going to give you a shot." I would have rather seen Kane or Dolph Ziggler in the match; and Truth wrestling Drew McIntyre for the IC Title, but whatever. I'm sure Truth will add something positive to the Elimination Chamber, and then go on to do something wacky in Money in the Bank. |

I've always enjoyed the work of R-Truth; ever since he was K-Kwik in a tag team with Road Dogg. He's got a great look, he's quick, makes a simple move like a flying back elbow look exciting, and he's not just some spot monkey. The man can also cut a promo when given the chance. I have no problems with the WWE pushing him the way that they have been as of late.
What completely and totally does fuck with me is the fact that they call him R-Truth. The man's REAL NAME is Ronald Killings. Ron Killings. How the fuck can you get a guy with a sick ass ring name like Ron Killings and NOT USE IT? What the fuck are they thinking? How often do you get a good wrestler with solid talent who has a great real last name like "Killings"? I mean come on. |

It's a very athletic sounding name too, like he's a high profile running back or someting "Ron Killings". w/e WWE does anything they can not to come off as legit so obviously they call him R Truth.

That move is fucking stupid. I would by R-Truth as a serious threat if A. He quit singing that stupid ass all the time, and B. He stopped using that lame ass elbow. Look at me, I can spin and hit you with an elbow... somewhere... maybe/

To sort of expand on my issue with his stupid singing... When he comes out, he acts like a fan-loving idiot, not too different then how Too Cool used to be. I understand people love him, but come on. Some of his backstage segments with Jericho have been great, and he's had a bit of a hard edge to him... But he loses it when he comes out.. He acts way to nice. Like, if you put him in a serious angle, where at one point he was so serious he stopped singing, cut real promos, and went out ready to beat someone's ass, I think he'd go a lot farther.

His gimmick is crap, there's no doubt, but that's not his fault. He is TOLD to rap, he doesn't have a choice. The fact that he is over is because of the fact that he has natural charisma. To hate on him because he has a shit gimmick, that he still manages to get past is just ridiculous and frankly, disrespectful to someone who has been busting their ass for quite some time to get a good spot. And it is ignorant. |

I'm not "hating" on him.
I just don't think he'll ever reach his full potential, because of his gimmick. It's not a shot at him as a wrestler or entertainer, it's a shot at how he's used. |

There's no argument then really. Obviously with a goofball gimmick he's only going to get so far. But it's up to the writers to do something about this.

We are in an age of pretty craptastic finishers. Even look at the Pedigree, it looks terrible these days.
