I had never heard of the guy before some fellow FAN's recommended his work. And after watching a bit I can say for sure-I'm a fan. He is a very talented talker and he plays a very modern kind of manager character. And considering that one of his more recent proteges, Kevin Steen, is now in NXT, it seems almost natural that WWE would cast their eyes on him at some point. Part of me would love it because there is a sore lacking of talented managers in wrestling today, and I can imagine any number of people in WWE and NXT right now who could benefit enormously from his assistance. I dare say, Truth Martini could possibly do with Cesaro what Paul Heyman could not. But there is another part of me that cringes at the idea-because WWE would undoubtedly have to town down his character ALOT to suit their PG image. Gone would the sexual innuendo, the smoking, the drinking, and the obscene language in his promos. And I actually do think he has the ability to overcome those kind of limitations and find his stride, it would still suck away a lot of his current appeal and he would pretty much have to reinvent his character to do it. What do you all think?

I thought this was about R Truth carrying a Martini to the ring.

I'd be all for it. Managers are something I really miss in WWE and people like Heyman and Zeb are proof that they still have a place in modern WWE.

I love Truth but I don't think he'd work in Vince McMahon's WWE. He's too over the top for Vince and I think toning him down would kill his appeal.

I absolutely love him, have enjoyed his work since seeing him on a JCW tape in 2000, and by sheer chance when I take curious non-fans to live wrestling, he's always one of their highlights.
That said, while I think he's fantastic and has so much to offer the WWE, I'm concerned he wouldn't pass the physical. He's had some really bad injuries in the past and while he's not just managed but thrived working around them, I don't know if they would see it the same way.
But yeah, manager, authority figure, commentator, he's excel wherever they would put him.

I can't see there ever being a PG Truth Martini.
