The Truth Vs. The Scholar

I am a believer that good midcard feuds will help the WWE get back on the right track. It won't fix everything, but there are a lot of guys with potential and uniqueness the fans might be drawn to. On the road to Wrestlemania, the WWE has actually taken some time to formulate a midcard feud between Damien Sandow and the returning R-Truth. These are two true midcarders. Neither have held a World title in the WWE. And this definitely has potential.

You have two guys with two very clear gimmicks and styles. Just having them feud against each other is one thing. It isn't too hard to book. You can see the eventual tag match between Sandow/Rhodes and R-Truth/Kofi. After that, the 1-on-1 match between Sandow and R-Truth. After that, move on. But how about you drag it out just a little more? Have these guys actually have some real promos against each other. As I said, they have clear gimmicks. And these gimmicks kind of go against each other. R-Truth is a rapper and Sandow is an intellectual. Make use of that. R-Truth has also been a bit crazy in the past. They can even bring that in. Needless to say, this can be a very entertaining feud, if they allow these two to really do more than just attack each other and wrestle.

All that being said, I don't think they will do it. I remember seeing potential in a feud between Jinder Mahal and Ted DiBiase over a year ago. Nothing good came of it. And considering what time of year it is, even easier to lose focus on this midcard feud. It doesn't need to culminate at Wrestlemania, but it can bring some entertaining segments. Let's see how long until it ends.
