It is safe to say that R-Truth is one of the funniest WWE Superstars of all time.
He once made Brock Lesnar break character live on Raw. Recently, while speaking to Chris Van Vliet on his Insight Podcast, R-Truth shared how the segment with The Beast came to fruition. He revealed that it was an impromptu segment that he was put up to by Paul Heyman.
“Probably Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. The thing with that was, I come to Gorilla and Paul was there. He’s like, ‘Hey, we got a bet going on.’ I was like, ‘What bet?’ He’s like, ‘That you can make Brock laugh.’ I said, ‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘We’re not going to tell him what you want to say, we don’t want to hear what you want to say. We just go.’ I said, ‘Man, I think we should let Brock know what we’re gonna do.’ He said, ‘Nope, we’re not gonna let Brock know it all.’ And that was the most impromptu thing that just came off like sliced bread. It was just great.”
R-Truth does not purposefully try to make people break character
R-Truth also shared that he has never tried to make people break character on purpose. He mentioned that people often have their guard up when they are in a segment with him.
“I haven’t tried to break anybody, it just happens. Got a funny bone. It is all timing. And I think a lot of people when they’re in a promo with me, or they’re in a backstage with me, I think their guard is up so much. Because of that, it’s easy to penetrate. When you try not to do something too hard, too good, you end up doing it. So it’s that reverse psychology type thing. So, yeah, you have to just be yourself. I’m gonna be myself,” R-Truth said.
