Seth Rollins has high praise for WWE SmackDown Superstar R-Truth.
WWE Superstars Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were recent guests on My Mom’s Basement with Robbie Fox. When asked about R-Truth’s role in WWE: Unreal Season 2 and if he has any good stories about him, Rollins would offer high praise for the locker room veteran and explained why characters like him don’t really exist in wrestling anymore.
“Oh, man, I’ve known Ronnie for so long. God, any stories? I mean, it’s hard to pick a certain story for him, because he’s just the best,” Seth Rollins said. “He’s great for morale, but he’s also, he’s like a vestige from an old age where the characters like him don’t exist anymore. And he can do comedy in wrestling in a way that I — first of all, not a lot of people can do it that well.
“And they can go from serious to funny in the snap, and it works. And he’s just a character that he’s one of those guys you put him like, if you took him right now, and he hasn’t been on TV in a minute, you know what I’m saying.
“And if you put him in front of any live crowd in any city in the entire world, and they would be singing his song, they’d be saying, ‘What’s up?’ They’d be chanting R-Truth like he’s universally beloved from start to finish. And he’s such a good human being, just such a great guy. Good heart on him.”
Seth Rollins praises R-Truth’s ability to elevate serious stories with humor
Rollins also put over Truth’s ability to elevate serious stories through his humor. Calling it a unique talent that other wrestlers don’t possess.
“He can elevate serious stories through his humor,” Seth Rollins said. “It’s just such a unique, unique talent. There’s tons of guys in wrestling or girls who think they’re funny, and they want to be funny, but the humor dries the segment up, and you’re like, ah, no, I don’t care about this. He can find a way — you look at some of his promos with like Cena or with Brock Lesnar. He just finds a way to use his humor to elevate the emotion in the segment. And that is such a unique skill.”
