I'm pretty sure the general consensus was that heel R-Truth was amazing and was from the get-go pretty much. One of the forums I was on before this one were really praising the him and that convinced me to check out his heel work (as I wasn't watching at that point, and wouldn't start watching regularly until the Raw Roulette for obvious reasons) and as you may have figured by the parenthesis I wasn't a fan. In fact, I thought it sucked but I did appreciate the deviation from the norm of characters. Still, I didn't get any enjoyment watching him (sans like one promo he did with The Miz). Granted I haven't seen all his early promos , but I've seen all the ones post-shoot (as I stupidly watched Raw live). Just another thing I disagree with the majority of the IWC on.
