10 DUMB WWE Stories (We Didn't Want To Admit Were GENIUS!)

10. R-Truth Has 24/7 Title Luck

WWE's 24/7 Title was a mind-numbing nuisance to many viewers in 2019/2020. To R-Truth, it wheezed fresh air into his lungs and extended a career best-known for knowingly crummy comedy. Nobody will ever top Truth's whopping 54 reigns with the belt, and that'd probably be true even if Triple H had kept the thing around as an undercard curiosity.

Every single one of Truth's stints as champ was sillier than a Mae Young and Mark Henry skit, but then that was the point of them. This was WWE's attempt to reignite what had been successful during the 'Attitude Era' and cast Truth as a reimagining of little Crash Holly running away from everyone as Hardcore Champion.

It also laid bare how hard Truth was riding his luck on-screen.

He'd always come up shining no matter who was chasing him and what the scenario was. At the beach? Truth would somehow emerge as 24/7 Champ. Travelling between towns for WWE shows? Same deal. Everyone knew that R-Truth would regain the title shortly after losing it, and that was the glue holding everything together.
