Two things about that segment: 1)Truth reminded me of Denzel Washington from Training Day when he was smack-talking the crowd with that cigarette in his mouth. "King Kong ain't got s*** on me!" indeed. ;D 2) Where was the Straight Edge Savior during all this? Punk was in the building....but no response? I mean, he's just simply falling down on his job these days, letting Austin drink beers left and right, and Truth smoke like a chimney. For shame, Punker! And turn Punk face? It's in the UK. HALF the crowd was cheering him during his match with Orton. Not like having him come out and condemn Truth's smoking would have done much to change THAT. That whole segment was odd because of the emphasis on smoking, yet the absence of the BIGGEST anti-smoking crusader on the roster. Plus I mean, Punk doesn't have to save Morrison. He can take issue with the smoking, but give Morrison a GTS himself for giggles to keep his heel vibe.

The whole thing was great. I was there live and the crowd were going nuts the heat he was getting was great considering he was getting alot of random boos at first then once the segment ending you knew he was getting booed but the crowd loved what he did. R-Truth had some really creepy facial expressions during the attack but managed to crack me up once he started smoking.

They're going to have to drop What's Up because with this recent development I can only conclude that...
R-TRUTH HAS FINALLY STARTED!

What was the crowd chanting at R-Truth when he was beating down Morrison?
It sounded kind of like "Gloria! Gloria!" but that makes no sense.

Well, we know who can play that puff of smoke when WWE does its version of All Stars To The Rescue.

Im ok with it. And i suppose it makes sense in a weird way to have a guy exposed as a heel for being a smoker in a weird afetr school special kind of way.
and the "THATS ILLEGAL" chants from the crowd were epic. I see the WWE picking up a fine here.

That kind of random "WTF" moment is exactly why I still watch wrestling. That was fantastic. Plus like the guy said above, Morrison was a dick. Can't say he didn't have this one coming. ANYBODY GOT A SMOKE?! Couldn't have said it better. It was so out in left field that it was just spectacular. And even though this shouldn't be a plus, it's one of the many reasons I root for heels in he WWE. The "faces" are generally self entitled jerks. Smokin' Truth just skyrocketed to one of my 5 favorite workers in the company.

He should go back to using "Get Rowdy" and seeing as how Road Dogg was at the HOF, get them to duet again & start wearing baseball jerseys & sunglasses indoors again.

Seems a bit dodgy if the arena allowed them to carry on with the promo, considering its illegal to smoke in public indoor places in the UK..

Everything about that was awesome. Morrison being a dick (seriously, his "good guy" character is unbearable. At least turn him tweener, so he can be more like the Shaman we all knew and loved), Truth turning and being weird and randomly evil, all of it. Awesome. Seems a bit dodgy if the arena allowed them to carry on with the promo, considering its illegal to smoke in public indoor places in the UK.. Unless it's in a scripted performance, like a comedy show or a stage play. Seriously, that's written into the law. Would not shock me if that storyline was created because someone told Brian Gewirtz about that loophole.

Might I remind people that this is a man, in R-Truth, that was BLOWN UP by MacGruber!
You'd be a little "off in the head" too, and probably develop SEVERAL crippling addictions if that were to happen to any one of you. I mean, he had to RECONSTITUTE himself atom by atom.
DO YOU KNOW HOW PAINFUL THAT IS? We're lucky he didn't do an eight-ball while intravenously injecting heroin and huffing Jenkem during that segment.
Have a little sympathy, and be glad that smokes and water are ALL that poor Truth is addicted to. ;D
I adore the idea of him being "Sandman" 2.0 though. He ought to come out next week and see how many cigs he can chain smoke before Morrison interrupts him.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the UK edit out not only the smoking, but every reference to it (I remember reading in the Raw thread that they even cut Josh Matthews' mention of it off)?
So as far as a UK fan who doesn't read spoilers on the Internet is concerned, R-Truth is now a heel.....Just because? Someone from the UK, enlighten me: What did UK viewers see and hear last night, and what can they expect to be censored out in the future?

Yes they did edit out Truth's smoking on the UK airing. They cut to commercial as he was shouting at the fans for their 'R-Truth sucks' chants. They didn't edit out the promo references that Morrison and Truth were making though. The only thing that was edited out of the show was Truth actually smoking. Then later on when all Matthews did was say R-Truth's name, they cut to commercial then too. I'm pretty sure they must have shown a replay then too.
