There's a real chance that R-Truth is the most entertaining performer in the history of professional wrestling. He's charismatic, funny, and incredibly talented in the ring. R-Truth is one of those guys who can make almost anything work. No one else could have made the 24/7 Championship remotely viable, let alone often a highlight of the night.
The man brings a sense of humor to the ring that few other wrestlers can boast. He's consistently and reliably funny, not to mention willing to take big chances. For that reason, he regularly causes the other talent he's working with to break on camera.
10 The Condo That AJ Styles Built
Some of R-Truth's funniest work as of late as been on Raw Talk, WWE's post-show for their long-running Monday night program. The current iteration of the show is co-hosted by Charly Caruso and R-Truth. It's not difficult to imagine how quickly things go off the rails with R-Truth even remotely in charge of an interview.
This time, AJ Styles got caught in R-Truth's web of ridiculousness. AJ, as always, brought up his catchphrase, "The house that AJ Style built." R-Truth then proceeded to ask if he also built condos and other structures. Quite understandably, AJ could barely contain his laughter.
9 Truth TV With Daniel Bryan
The best run of R-Truth's long career was alongside Carmella. Their association started as a part of Season 2 of Mixed Match Challenge. Carmella and Truth had such obvious chemistry that the company kept them together for an extended period. Splitting them up remains one of the biggest mistakes WWE has made.
When Miz TV became Truth TV, the dynamic duo's first guest was Daniel Bryan. One of the greatest wrestlers to ever step through the ropes was left flustered and laughing at their antics. R-Truth and Carmella taking a dance break particularly caught him off guard.
8 R-KO'd
WWE is the land of massive wrestlers as Vince's rule of thumb always seems to have been that athletic big men will put butts in the seats. Arguably, the biggest and baddest of them all is still The Big Show. He's also the last person anyone should be messing around with. Yet, people still do.
One segment saw Show go on a knockout blow spree, punching everyone in the face. Rather than get punched, R-Truth pretended to get punched and faked being unconscious on the ground. The camera cut away from Show as he smiled and started to laugh.
7 Acrophobia Versus Arachnophobia
As part of the secret plot against him, R-Truth was put into a Money in the Bank Ladder Match. This iteration of the gimmick match included the likes of Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston. But that's not what was weird about the situation.
R-Truth came down to the ring, talking about his acrophobia, and how there had better be no spiders in the match or in the MITB briefcase. As always, Truth was confused. Acrophobia is the fear of heights. Arachnophobia is the fear of spiders. The commentary team absolutely lost it on air. This segment was also in 2011 when the Raw commentary team of Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler were part-time wrestlers.
6 R-Truth Secedes From The WWE Universe
A lot of fans wonder why R-Truth seems to get more creative freedom than other Superstars. The big reason seems to be that Vince McMahon not only likes Truth, but he also trusts him. And Vince is certainly right to do so.
A few years ago, Vince and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin were in the ring together cutting an old-school promo on each other. Truth came out dressed like a Confederate soldier and declared he was seceding from the WWE Universe. Vince held it together but Austin didn't, the camera cut away from him as he started to break character.
5 Royal Rumble Confusion
If there's one thing about R-Truth's WWE character that defines him, it's confusion. The man is perpetually confused about almost everything. Sometimes it's just something simple like mixing up words. Other times, the confusion is a bit bigger than that.
During the Royal Rumble in 2016, R-Truth's music hit as the next entrant. He came tearing down to the ring, pulled a ladder out from underneath it, and tried to retrieve the non-existent MITB briefcase. Fans, announcers, and Superstars were all confused. Xavier Woods in particular was left convulsing with laughter outside the ring.
4 MITB Confusion
Confusion related to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is an ongoing issue for Truth. He was once concerned that the briefcase was filled with spiders. He thought a Royal Rumble match was an MITB match. But this one took the cake.
As Corporate Kane yelled about the upcoming MITB match at Dolph Ziggler and Roman Reigns, R-Truth came out to declare what he was going to do in the match. Only he wasn't going to be in the match. His confusion left Ziggler and Reigns doubled over with laughter as a dumbfounded look made its way across Kane's face.
3 Vacationing In WWE Headquarters
In the early going of Mixed Match Challenge Season 2, R-Truth and Carmella were not doing well. But fans were obviously responding positively to the pairing, so they suddenly started winning. Maybe WWE listened to their fans for once.
The prize that year was a paid vacation anywhere the winners selected. Unfortunately for Carmella, Truth picked WWE Headquarters in Connecticut. Their disruptive visit to Stamford was filled with planned spots but also impromptu moments of Truth being Truth. The end result was Carmella laughing and breaking character on more than one occasion.
2 Raw Talk, Shayna Baszler And Tartar Sauce
Back in July, "The Submission Magician" Shayna Baszler was on Raw Talk. She was complaining that she was cooling her heels in catering instead of being in the ring and beating people up. Baszler wasn't wrong about that.
Shayna then complained about the food in catering. Truth disagreed, saying the fish was good and accusing her of not using tartar sauce. This caught Baszler off-guard, causing her to start laughing. It also led to an ongoing feud between Truth and Baszler over condiments. The moment helped make Baszler's character more relatable.
1 Brock Lesnar & The Royal Rumble
"The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar isn't exactly known for being a fun-loving guy in the ring. But every once in a while, he lets another side of himself show. Paul Heyman helped this along by reputedly betting that Truth he couldn't make Lesnar break.
R-Truth proceeded to interrupt one of their in-ring promo segments to declare that he was going to beat Paul Heyman in the Royal Rumble match. Heyman corrected him by pointing out that Lesnar was entering the Royal Rumble, not Heyman. Truth immediately withdrew from the match, leaving Lesnar laughing uncontrollably.
