Who cares why they edited it? I want to know how they actually did it. Smoking is illegal in a public building here. IIRC, since it was part of a performance, Truth was allowed to.

Oh great. Because kids are obviously gonna take up smoking because Truth did it, whule he was TURNING HEEL. Seriously. If Cena lights one up during a promo, call the butthurt police, but Reynolds can suck it. And I dont even smoke. Bought a pack of Camel Crush because R-Truth was smoking on Raw last night. Smoking the entire thing, then going out to get more. WHAT'S UP?

Every smoker who has been forced to go outside for the past 5 years should have lit up then and there. lol And been arrested as it's illegal for you to spark up but it's legal for R Truth cause he is doing it as a performance and i'm sure WWE would asked the right authorities for permission to do it.

Mark my words, ala the Giant's 3 week run, this will be attempted for a few weeks before the "THINK OF THE CHILDREN! BLARG!" crowd overruns this, and then he'll just be a heel without a cigarette problem.
In the words of George Carlin, "I love America. I love the freedoms we used to have."

Yes, let's protect the children from his terrible, terrible smoking. It doesn't matter that he did it in the midst of a beatdown (which was caused because he, arguably, was being a sore loser), let's focus on the smoking! Y'know, I'm wondering where all these people were when Randy Orton DDT'd A MOTHER OF TWO!! Or how about Mike Knox's abusive boyfriend routine with Kelly Kelly, whose gimmick boiled down to a barely-legal exhibitionist. Honestly, if this offended you, you haven't been watching long enough. And I say that as a guy who absolutely hates smoking.

Honestly, they had to KNOW that some anti-smoking people would be on their ass after this.

Congratulations, R-Truth, you are now my favourite wrestler.
Anyone who can get those morons upset is god.

Aren't their much worse things to get upset about besides a heel (read: an evil bad guy?) on a wrestling show smoking?

Boy, just read those comments. I bet Vince would explode if he did because it's clear that his whole 'THIS IS NOT WRESTLING!!!' does not appease the general public from going "LOLfake&gay."

Why should R-Truth have to appologize? It's not like he went on some shoot promo and did it without being told to do it prior. If Reynolds should be upset with anyone, it should be Creative for comming up with the angle. And this comment stuck out to me: "For him to smoke in front of [children] is irresponsible. At best, it's thoughtless, and at worst, if he calculated appealing to kids by posing as a bad-boy outlaw, it's evil." Since when has turning heel ment to appeal to children? This man clearly has no knowledge of the workings of pro wrestling, so he shouldn't be one to go around making public statements about it. And, Reynolds adds, "If he wants help in quitting, I'll be happy to be his personal coach." <- Please tell me that's a joke.

"If he wants help quitting, I'll be glad to be his personal coach." I now want Truth to join a newly formed SES with this guy managing him.
Edit: It says about him being Grandson of someone called R.J Reynolds, but I read it as RD & my first though was "RD must be way older than he looks!"

I hope that this guy's tight-panty-feuled-fool-rant doesn't f*** up a potentially "ENTERTAINING" character development.

It's TMZ - does anyone take it remotely seriously in the first place?

What's funny is he's upset that he was smoking, not realizing he just beat the crap out of somebody for losing. You can beat someone within an inch of their life, but you better not be smoking while doing it.

Wonder if Austin has to apologize every time he promotes binge drinking.

Wonder if Austin has to apologize every time he promotes binge drinking. This! It's ridiculous. Why should a performer apologize for something creative made him do. He should say Vince McMahon should aplogize, but he's probably afraid to get in his business.

Ummm people are already declaring R Truth to be the best part of RAW and we haven't even seen what he will do yet. Shouldn't we calm down just a bit? Just a bit.
