#4. R-Truth secedes from the WWE Universe
Even as a bad guy, R-Truth is comedy gold.
In 2011, R-Truth began a heel turn that actually led to him challenging - hey, look who it is! - John Cena for his WWE Championship. As part of this program, Truth had harassed a "fan" and his son in the audience ("Little Jimmy" and "Big Jimmy", who were wearing John Cena merchandise), culminating in him tossing a full soda into the face of the fan.
The anonymous Raw General Manager declared that R-Truth would get a championship match against Cena - provided he publically apologized for what he had done the previous week. That next week's RAW was held in Richmond, VA which was, as history tells us, the capital of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War.
During a segment featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, R-Truth made his way to the ring - wearing the uniform of a Confederate soldier. After apologizing to Big Jimmy, Little Jimmy, and even to the soda he threw in Big Jimmy's face ("It was refreshing"), Truth explained his get up: he was proclaiming his independence from the WWE Universe.
The sight of R-Truth - a black WWE Superstar - wearing the uniform of the racist army of the Confederacy was startling. But, as he always does, he turned it into comedy genius - all while still getting the heel heat he needed to promote his match with Cena. Absolute genius.
