-->"I yelled to those pigeons, I said, 'Hey pigeons! The Rock and Cena are gonna lose tonight!' You know what those pigeons said?...Nothing. They're pigeons. Pigeons don't talk."

* HeelFaceReturn: Upon returning from his Wellness Policy suspension, R-Truth seems to be OK with Little Jimmies.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Heath Slater kicking Little Jimmy in the face on Superstars. Even better, the crowd reacted as if he had actually kicked a small child in the face, as did Truth.
** This happened again in his and Kofi Kingston's tag match with Epico.

** He does all of his themes except for two out of seven.

* CurseCutShort: In one of his Touts (mainly due to you only get 15 seconds worth of airtime):

* CurseCutShort: In one of his Touts:

->'''Truth:''' Antonio, in German: You gon' get got. In French: You gon' get got. In Chinese, Japanese, Portugese, Bickanese: You gon' get got. In English: Imma kick yo-- *tout ends*

* MalcolmXerox: During his original heel run in {{TNA}}.

** And again with TheMiz, who decided a few weeks before that Truth had [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]] and assaulted him on the steel ramp, giving Truth a concussion [[hottip:*: in kayfabe, of course. Another example of [[RealLifeWritesThePlot here - Truth was sent on a Wellness Vacation.]] that put him out of action for a month.

** IncomingHam: Whenever you hear "The Truth Shall Set You Free," expect something awesome to follow.

* {{Flanderization}}: At the very beginning of his most recent heel turn, he was certainly a slightly unhinged loose cannon, but as the heel run has gone on, his SanitySlippage has been cranked UpToEleven...''and then [[BeyondTheImpossible slightly past it.]]''

*** Then there was that Elimination Chamber promo, which was something like [[HamToHamCombat Ham-To-]][[UpToEleven Ham-To-]][[BeyondTheImpossible Ham-To-]][[OverlyLongGag Ham-To...]]yeah. You get the idea.

* ImaginaryFriend: Little Jimmy. And lord help you if you decide to play along with him and actually kick Little Jimmy for hell of it. [[BeserkButtom Truth doesn't react well to Little Jimmy getting kicked. At all]]

* KidAppealCharacter: As a face. Part of his FaceHeelTurn involved Truth saying he would no longer dance and smile for the "Little Jimmys"

* AwesomeMcCoolName: RonKillings, anyone? And they went with R-Truth and K-Kwik before.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixYDFnSxnXc Right Time]] definitely. Subverted, in that the song didn't get over with the crowd & he went back to "What's Up" in around a month.
** His new theme.... well, actually What's Up
*** With Guitar called U Suck.

* FanHater: Of JohnCena fans, [[InUniverse as a heel]].

* HilariousInHindsight: On the night of R-Truth's heel turn, JohnMorrison made a brief mention of R-Truth having a smoking habit. Of course, with the WWE being concerned about kid-friendliness, that element was quickly dropped right after Truth's heel turn (although he kept the water bottle - see WeaponOfChoice). In November, R-Truth was suspended for a Wellness Violation...for smoking synthetic weed at a party. And that was only ''after'' EvanBourne (who was punished for the same offense) ratted him out. Maybe [=JoMo=] knew something the rest of us didn't...?

* NeverLiveItDown: The infamous "Green Bay/Milwaukee" incident. Though, following his CrazyAwesome FaceHeelTurn, he's gotten past that.

** FridgeBrilliance: "The good R-Truth is gone." He was including himself in that statement because he's [[LampshadeHanging not a good guy]] (at least at the time).

* YouFailGeographyForever: "Nothin Good Comes From The South." Says the guy who came from North Carolina/Georgia.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: His endless rantings about how there must be a "conspiracy" afoot in WWE aren't really too different from CMPunk's similar arguments (which, in typical CM Punk fashion, [[RealLifeWritesThePlot are not entirely kayfabe]]) about WWE discriminating against wrestlers who don't fit the company mold, and yet [[DoubleStandard Punk gets cheered for this attitude while Truth is just assumed to be crazy, simply because Punk is a face and Truth is not]]. You'd think that Cena-haters would have been sympathetic to the viewpoint that WWE is [[ShillingTheWesley hell-bent on shoving Cena down our throats]] in order to promote him throughout the world and sell ever more merchandise to all the "Little Jimmies", but so far that opinion hasn't caught on.
** The difference between CM Punk and R-Truth was that CM Punk was pointing out that the ''entire WWE'' was screwed up, because of the boys in the back having a very set-in-stone ideal for how things should be, audience be damned (even though the audience is kinda necessary for things like, y'know, salaries.) This is shared with a VERY large amount of fans. R-Truth was claiming the conspiracy was ''specifically against him'', that it was keeping ''him'' and a few others down. So basically, Punk was LaResistance, while R-Truth was a spoiled brat, at least until the HeelFaceTurn.
