The man himself will mention that during his eventual Hall Of Fame speech for a giggle, but he was the only glue holding an otherwise-rotten title division together. WWE debuted the 24/7 Title in 2019, and few folks were sad to see it go when Triple H retired the thing in November 2022. Truth would've been one of those few!

Looking back, he worked wonders to make the belt watchable at all. Sure, the joke wore thin fairly quickly, but there was still something so endearing about Ron Killings calling himself the '7/11, 365, 24 hour champion' (or whatever it was). People got a laugh out of that, if nothing else, which must be why WWE gave Truth so many runs.

Contrast and compare Truth's barmy vignettes to those filmed by guys like Reggie, Mojo Rawley and even ex-NFL star Rob Gronkowski. It wasn't even close. Truth's segments had a natural OTT vibe to them, whereas everyone else felt forced in the same role.
