Welcome to Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News, considered one of the best news sources on the net today. I think it is the best, but what are you gonna do? Anyway, there is a good edition of the 411 today, so let's get started.
R-Truth Push
If anyone has seen SmackDown the past few weeks, you know R-Truth has finally been able to do some mic work. Everyone knows he raps for his entrance, but he hardly ever talks other than that.
The WWE has been wanting to push deserving stars lately, and Truth looks now to be one of them.
If there is one person the WWE has forgotten about, it would be Truth, if you ask me. He probably is the most deserving of a push, so I am glad he is finally getting one.
According to sources within the WWE, he may start to get in the hunt for the Intercontinental Title soon.
The WWE knows Truth has ability in the ring, he is just missing an opportunity. They feel if he can start to rival Jericho after the Mysterio feud Jericho is doing, then he can start to get bigger in the company.
Truth already has a nice fanbase, and they have been clamouring to see Truth get a push, but it just has not happened yet.
Another person in line for a IC Title shot would be Truth's tag partner from last night, John Morrison. Another person who deserves his shot, and instead is stuck in a feud with Shelton Benjamin that will probably go nowhere.
You are talking about arguably the two best athletes in the WWE right there, but the storyline is just not working. So possibly we could see a Truth/Benjamin feud start up after Morrison/Benjamin is over with.
That would get Morrison a IC Title hunt, but that is just me. Also, it would still push Truth too.
Benjamin seems to be losing what fanbase he had because he is just not doing anything worthwhile. While he is good in the ring, on the mic he is just plain boring.
Also, the WWE barely had him defend his US Title when he had it because they couldn't find many people to have him feud with.
This could be why he held it so long before losing it to MVP.
I feel it would be better if we saw Truth/Benjamin, maybe it will help them both. I feel Truth will be the big winner in it, though.
Former TNA Knockout Wants to Work for the WWE
As many of us know, TNA stupidly released one of their most popular and better female wrestlers in Roxxi a little while back.
She is one of the best female wrestlers in the world today in my personal opinion and she will do something most of the WWE Divas will not, and that is bleed.
She will take shots in the head, bust herself open, or whatever she is asked. TNA didn't call her the Hardcore Knockout because it sounded good in an echo. They did it because of what they knew she could do.
In the Attitude Era, the women did what Roxxi did in the ring. We didn't see much bleeding from them, or shaved heads, but we did see hardcore action that TNA is showing but WWE does not.
She may not fit the "Diva" persona to a "T", but she can add a much needed boost to the women's division in the WWE. SmackDown and RAW could use her easily and I know she would be a champion if the WWE allowed her to be.
