R-Truth Says The “We Want Truth” Moment Played Out Exactly How It Was Supposed To
In episode 2, aptly titled “The Truth,” we follow Ron Killings, aka R-Truth, who is easily one of the most talented superstars to grace a wrestling ring.
R-Truth’s brilliant episode focuses on many aspects of R-Truth’s career and how he got to where he is now.
Most importantly, it touched on a pivotal moment during his WWE career that saw him unceremoniously let go by the company, which sent shockwaves, stunning fans and his co-workers.
One person who was extremely let down, and saddened by the company’s decision outside of R-Truth was Brian James, aka The Road Dogg Jesse James, who discovered R-Truth and helped him get to the WWE.
Triple H claims that R-Truth’s release from the company was a misunderstanding, but it definitely affected R-Truth and fans when it happened.
We asked R-Truth about the moment, whether he would do anything differently in how he handled it, and whether it played out as it was supposed to. He feels it did.
“It played out the way it should have. If you watched this season, man, I haven’t even watched it yet, but I remember word for word everything what I said,” R-Truth tells CassiusLife. “I remember the vibe, I remember the essence. I can place myself there now if I close my eyes. So I think it pretty much played out how it was supposed to be played out.”
R-Truth Responds To Fans Who Feel He Deserves A Bigger Push
R-Truth is easily one of the most dynamic wrestlers to hop into a wrestling ring. On top of being an electric performer in the ring, he has also become one of the most hilarious personalities in the company.
While some fans love R-Truth’s knack for comedic timing, others feel he is being relegated to just comedic relief and is not getting the proper push he deserves.
Being the humble superstar he is, R-Truth doesn’t see it that way at all, but he does appreciate his fans going to bat for him.
“I appreciate their feelings. I appreciate their input. And I love each and every one of my fans. I don’t even call them fans anymore. Like I said, I’m changing that and calling them family because they are family. A lot of them grew up watching me. We play the hands we’re dealt. And again, the product, man, and everything, even with life, it evolves, ” R-Truth said.
He continued, “We adapt, and we keep moving, we keep going. And regardless of how they feel about whether I’m getting this or I’m getting that, I’m there and any moment or any chance or any opportunity that I’m getting, I’m going to deliver. So them keeping that faith, that hope, that’s part of wrestling, man, waiting for your guy, your girl to get that one moment, to get that one … And that’s what life is about. So I appreciate them for wanting me to get that one or get that sum or more of … Again, we’re playing with what we’re dealt and we play it to the highest of the game.”
