Just who is this? I've been seeing that name and R-Truth associated with each other an awful lot around here. Someone fill me in.

It was pretty much just R-Truth acting strange.
Actually, isn't that how it was introduced? "R-Truth is outside the arena, acting strange."
Just search R-Truth Pretty Ricky on youtube, something will probably turn up.

As above. Some bizzare skits from R-Truth in 2009 that led to nothing.

i think it was done to make fun of certain boy band member (pretty ricky) acting like jackasses on youtube. Most specifically, dancing in thongs and this was PGE's way of spoofing them. Plus i think this c**nery buffoonery is what won vince over on truth.

Pretty Ricky should just show up outta nowhere at Extreme Rules and take R-Truth's place

I thought that first skit was pretty golden. Wished they would've ran with it.

If R-Truth acted like this now, maybe I'd actually like him.

It was awesome. It made no sense, but it didn't really have to.

I've never been offended more as a black man with this ridiculous gimmick.

I thought the two pretty ricky segments were the two best things R Truth has ever done.
If R Truth can show up as Pretty Ricky against Cena and Miz, then I'm on board with him winning the title immediately.

I was at the arena when Truth slipped into his Pretty Ricky character. This is the most entertained by him I had ever been. The crowd around him was hysterical over his schtick. I saw real potential for getting this character over and they just drooped it. He showed more character in these few minutes than he had his entire wrestling career, be it TNA or WWE. He wasn't just playing a character, he was really into it. May of the fans at the arena had no idea it was Truth but thought it was someone new. I would pop huge if he just showed up one day and his gov'ment name was Delicious.

I hated it. I'm glad creative KO'ed the gimmick before it had a chance to grow  |

Yeah, I didn't get it at all. Wasn't funny, just strange and stupid.

Give him a character, storyline, angle, or even just have him dance around a bit, and he goes completely crazy with what he's been given as if he's been waiting his whole life for the opportunity to do so. |
