R-Truth deserves a lot of credit for just being a genuinely funny guy. He isn’t afraid to make himself look like a goof to get a good laugh.

Monday was no exception, as he cut a promo to open a gauntlet match to become #1 contender for the United States Championship. He talked about his “childhood hero,” John Cena (bear in mind that Truth is five years older than Cena) and watching him hold his US title open challenges on Saturday mornings.

Truth then talked about winning the US title and taking both that championship and the 24/7 Championship to WrestleMania. He then pointed at the sign… only we’re still about six weeks away from the giant Mania sign and Sign-Pointing Season.

The entire thing was hilarious, especially Truth mocking WWE’s penchant for having every wrestler point at the sign repeatedly to indicate their desire to compete at WrestleMania. Bravo.
