I like him. He's not stellar on the mic, and his theme is annoying but he's able to work the crowd and performs good in the ring. I'd say midcard would be fine for him, but the WWE's Midcard sucks again. I say unify the Intercontinental and U.S. title and then let him carry that belt in the future.

Shut up. You got a mask on!
He's perfectly fine where he's at. His entrance is over. The rest of him is just boring.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If not for his age and the travel restrictions imposed on Truth because of his criminal record, he'd easily deserve to be part of the main event scene right now. I wouldn't go so far to say that he should be in the title mix, but he definitely should be higher up the card than what he is. He'd make a great US/IC champ if they'd just keep the belt on him for more than a couple of weeks. But I think that his age and criminal record have a lot to do with why he's nothing more than a JTTS. And yes, I also think that being a former TNA champ doesn't help either. With some exceptions, Vince doesn't like pushing non-home-grown talent. This I agree with. Even considering his age and record, I think he's being heavily underutilized.

I can't stand his rapping and he's just another generic racial stereotype. That said, he's above average in the ring and gets pops the for sing along time. (Change the intro and he'd get a Conway pop). He's a career mid-carder in WWE. He doesn't need a mid card title to keep his heat, so save the belts for someone who can be elevated. In short, he's were he should be on the card even if he bores me.

How the hell is he a racial stereotype? Because he's a black guy who likes rap? By that rationale the Honky Tonk Man was a racial stereotype.

I think he should be given a run with a title, he's pretty good in the ring and is real over.

I see R Truth like Koko B. Ware... super over, but never higher than midcard.

I`m not a real fan of the guy, but I see a lot of value in him for the WWE. He`s a veteran, has good skills, and he`s over. I can see him potentially holding a world title in WWE some time within the next few years. I just hope WWE does it right.

If they would let him be more like how he was when he was in TNA during his heel run then he could easily be World Title (or even WWE Title) material but as he is now I would have to say he would be good as a midcard champ. Then again, if Sheamus can win the WWE Title then I can't see why R-Truth couldn't either.

I don't get why they had to use R Truth in that match against Del Rio though. There are plenty of jobbers in the back. This Truth should have more value than to be fed to a newb midcarder.
