2. Why Is R-Truth Fighting For The Intercontinental Championship At Wrestlemania?
A show of hands for people who knew that R-Truth was still gainfully employed by WWE prior to his defeating Bad News Barrett on Raw a few weeks ago and kicking off the storyline that culminated in the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match at Wrestlemania. What's ridiculous here is not as much the idea that he's in the match, but how he's being portrayed heading into it. On a racial level, where's a black wrestler stealing, shucking and jiving. In 2015. In a publicly-traded company. And on the other level, why can't that position be given to a wrestler in NXT? The idea of debuting Adrian Neville in this match (after Neville say, won a ladder match in NXT for the opportunity) would be terrific. As for Truth? No slight, but he's a better fit in the battle royal.
