3. The Awesome Truth Experiment Continues

We’re well on our way to seeing the Awesome Truth reach its second month as World Tag Team Champions, as the duo successfully defended their titles against Judgment Day Monday night.

What started out as a moment for R-Truth has become an unfunny comedy scene carried on far too long. And now, more wrestlers are being pulled into the R-Truth Vortex, with Braun Strowman getting sucked in Monday night to provide backup for the champs as Carlito has aligned with Judgment Day. This means you’ve got Judgment Day, Carlito, and now Strowman sucked into this alternate universe.

Obviously, Truth’s shtick is a subjective thing, so those who enjoy his antics will fervently disagree with this observation. But the joke stopped being funny a while ago, and seeing other wrestlers sucked into this is a bit painful.

However, if all of this ends with a newly minted heel Creed Brothers aligning with Chad Gable and obliterating Awesome Truth in 30 seconds to capture the tag titles, all of this groan-inducing dreck will be worth it.

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
