5 longtime WWE superstars who should look for a new home in ROH

#3 R-Truth

For years, R-Truth has been woefully undervalued in WWE

R-Truth may currently be seen as a joke in WWE, but there was once a time where he was actually looking like one of the hottest talents in the industry. Under the name Ron “The Truth” Killings, Truth made big waves in the very early days of TNA. In one of his promos, he angrily stated that he felt he was being held back due to his race and became a top heel during this period, also becoming the first and only African-American to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title in August of 2002.

While never the top guy, his performances and position on the card were strong. This just goes to show that there is far more to R-Truth than what we have seen on WWE programming over the past few years. Not since his 2011 heel run alongside The Miz has Truth been taken seriously, his character has degenerated into something beyond a joke. Clearly, Vince McMahon sees nothing in R-Truth, but his talents could be put to far better use.

This is not to say that Truth should go to ROH and leap straight into Title picture; the man is 45 years old and at the tail end of his career. But a scenario where Truth moves to ROH, competes occasionally and spends a lot of time backstage working with the younger talent appears to make the most sense.

Finally, Truth would be at a place where he can be taken seriously again; his skills can be used for something other than bad comedy skits. WWE wouldn't have to pay him anymore, and ROH would gain a very experienced wrestling mind. Everybody wins.
