R-Truth just revealed one of the wildest fines in WWE historyand how he got away with not paying a cent.
During his appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, the longtime WWE star opened up about a 2011 segment on Monday Night RAW in the UK where he lit up a cigarette and blew smoke in John Morrisons face after an attack. The segment made headlines at the time because public smoking was banned in the UK back in 2007, making the act not just controversialbut illegal.
According to R-Truth, the entire thing was Vince McMahons idea. Vince had caught me smoking, for real. So hes like, You gonna smoke in front of the whole [arena], and it was illegal. You cant do that over there [because youre in an arena], you cant do that, he explained.
That little act of rebellion earned him a $20,000 fine. But when asked if he actually paid it, Truth didnt hesitate. Hell no! I had paying potential, but no! he said.
The fine may have been real, but R-Truth made it clear he wasnt about to fork over the cashdespite having the means to do so.
What do you think about R-Truth refusing to pay the fine? Was it a classic case of WWE chaos, or just a bad call that got out of hand? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
