Backstage Name Reveals WWE Star’s Chance Of Ever Being World Champion

WWE

A current WWE exec has noted mixed feelings about whether or not a fan favorite star will ever become World Champion.

On the last episode of his podcast ‘Oh You Didn’t Know’, Road Dogg Jesse James (real name Brian James) had thoughts about WWE fan favorite star R-Truth.

Responding to a fan question of if R-Truth will ever be World Champion, James said:

“Here’s the thing with R-Truth. How do you book anything with R-Truth? We’ve learned you just put him in it. You just put him in the segment and it’s gold. You don’t write too much for him. You don’t give him too much direction.

“Every time we start putting him in anything, the conversation turns to, ‘Okay, well, does it make sense what he’s doing’, and we will all go like, ‘We’re talking about Ron Killings, right? The same guy, R-Truth’, and so you don’t try to make sense of it, man. Just have fun with it.

“That’s a great question and in all honesty, like, I’ve been giving that a lot of thought and I don’t know if he needs the title ever and I don’t know that you want to give it to him. I know that sounds harsh and sounds weird.

“Could you find a scenario? In a heartbeat you could find a scenario to put the title on him and give him a run. I just don’t know if that’s what the character is all about. I love everything about Truth and always have, but what I love about him now is when he wins a match, it’s almost like he falls into it. Like he’s not trying to do this.

“What we would have to do if he was gonna have a little run is legitimize him a little bit. He’d have to start actually working a little bit in my opinion, and I don’t think he could fall into it. I think he’d have to win it.

“Could you write him into a way of doing it? Heck, yeah, you could and it would be a huge pop when it happened right then. This is an honest statement. I don’t know if that’s big, huge business, or if it’s just a good pop right then. So that’s a legitimate question that I’d like to have more time to think about than just right now, but man, yeah, you could totally put the title on him.”

R-Truth has a possibility of winning a title at WWE WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia.

He along with the Miz won their way into the six-pack ladder match at WWE WrestleMania 40 where Judgment Day will put their Undisputed Tag Team Championship on the line.
