He made the song and the catch phrase. That means he got himself over as a face, despite being jobbed out every week. Most people can't survive being buried like he's been. But he can.

Truth is okay as a face. Not great, not main event, but fine for what he was.
Remove the song & the catchphrase he didn't have much.

That is what made him over.

His song & catchphrase was over with the crowd, not him.
This. Whenever he said anything outside of those lyrics, people didn't give a shit. (Cue R-Truth talking to fan comic strip.)

My guess is that people won't give a shit once they hear him on the mic next week as well. All they've done is replaced "WHAT'S UP?!?!?!" with "Got a smoke?"

I remember the week R-Truth (re)debuted. After weeks of serious 'redemption' promos, I thought we were in for an interesting character - someone fighting their opponents and their demons.

Then the ridiculous music hit and he danced out to ringside and began doing spinning clotheslines. The whole happy-go-lucky character sucked and relied on cheap pops.

EDIT: Facepalm at the OP's sig. His 'favourite NXT 1 rookies' are everyone sans Bryan.

Remove the song & the catchphrase and he had nothing. Nothing.

Doesn't matter. The fact remains, he got himself over by creating his own song and catch phrase. Despite being a jobber, he got himself over. What other face gets jobbed out as much as him and gets even half the reaction he gets every week?

Evan Bourne? Daniel Bryan? Trent Baretta? DH Smith? Yoshi Tatsu? JTG? No. Truth doesn't even get Superstars wins like Masters, or random squashes like Mark Henry. He gets nothing. Nothing.

So of course he's not as over as someone like Morrison. Its because Truth almost never wins. When he did win last week, the crowd got behind him.

It does matter. No matter how you want to put it, if it wasn't for the song & the catchphrase he didn't have much.
