R-Truth suspended

Turning Truth face again would just be a step backwards imo. Especially seeing as now Miz is likely moving on to fued with Punk, there's no reason to turn Truth and his heel character is over as hell.

You're one to talk about being bias....

But yes, I am. I couldn't give two shits about Truth. The only thing he was good for was giving a few good promos as a heel. And now with Awesome Truth done, hes going to go back to being nothing.

Also coming from a guy that said The Rock overrated, it truly shows that your knowledge is limited. R-Truth always put on great matches, it's just his character sucked. He's so great to watch and for you to say to go back to nothing is laughable. Of course Bourne should get a bigger spot than Truth right, yet Bourne's mic skills makes John Morrison look like a messiah. Please don't give me that crap, R-Truth is a huge draw. I've yet to hear anyone speak negative of R-Truth during his heel run. As for me being bias, well I'm not. You know what else I don't do lie about my age like you do. And that's the truth.

Don't know where the huge draw part came from as far as Truth goes. Hasn't been anything to show that he has been drawing let alone being a huge one. Truth was doing a good job as a heel tho.

yeah I wouldn't consider Truth to be a huge draw... or much of one... but then again you can't really determine if he is a draw yet or not. But what is known is that his character has caught fire and is hot. His character... that started off looking lie a joke got him over. And now he can showcase his talent a lot more while portraying this talent which allows him to have more mic time. Truth made something for himself and was in a main event with a superstar that hasn't been wrestling for 7 years. The Rock. Yeah that's saying something there. That is a lot of trust there.

Good for WWE for making good on their wellness policy, and is it really a shocker that it was R-Truth? Now it explains Miz's turn on Truth. I just don't recommend WWE to bring him back face. Hell, this suspension could be turned into more of a storyline and Truth could see it as ANOTHER conspiracy.

Truth should just continue being heel, what you just said is a really great thought. He could come back and say ever since The Miz attacked R-Truth that WWE told him to stay at home for a month to nurse his injuries when he was fine. R-Truth could also say police and security escorted him out before he could even get in the building after purchasing tickets blah blah, it'd work.

WWE needs to get off it's high horse and stop suspending it wrestlers for stupid things like Synthetic Weed. It's not illegal in the United States, so WWE needs to be a lot looser with their Wellness Policy in my opinion.

It is illegal in parts of the United States

Regarding R-Truth's suspension, word is that he was informed he failed the Wellness test around the same time as Evan Bourne but was never told he would be suspended and didn't know he was being suspended until November 22nd, the day WWE announced it.

WWE creative also weren't told about the suspension until it happened. As noted before, Vince is turning R-Truth babyface when he returns in part because he sees great potential in Little Jimmy merchandise. Truth's turn is also being done because Vince feels RAW only has two over babyfaces, John Cena and CM Punk, and if one of them gets hurt then the depth would be worse than it is now.

I still think Miz is a more marketable babyface of the two. The whole really thing is catching on, he got the catchphrases and think his mic work could easily transfer over to being able to work the mic like Jericho did as a face. Pretty sure the little Jimmy thing will come off cheesy as hell if he does it as a face.

Does he not see Ryder as a babyface? Truth being face will suck!

I am glad that WWE finished the storyline first, no point punishing the fans by cutting it short because a wrestler is dumb. Bad move by Truth, and terrible timing because he is in the first mainevent run of his career. Hopefully he learns from this and doesn't do it again.
