A little bit of a poignant and introspective moment on R-Truths TikTok live. He was asking people to come on and make confessions and chat with him. A few users shared crappy fake confessions like “stealing cars” and one dude made the huge confession of “having a crush on Rhea Ripley”…. But one dude was chatting with him and then asks “what about you? Do you have a confession? Surely you have something?”
Truth sat for a few seconds and gritted his teeth and you could kind of tell he wasn’t wanting to share but then he said he was mad at himself for where he is in his career. It really sucks that someone who has accomplished so so much in the industry still can feel that way.

I’ve been a fan since he was “Gettin’ Rowdy” with the Road Dogg, and I sometimes forget he’s been around since the Attitude Era. He’s always been good in the ring, has crazy charisma, and somehow, all Vince saw and maybe Triple H too, is a comedy guy.
If you want to look back on his K-Kwik debut… YouTube
Sometimes you forget how dated the Attitude Era is and then you watch it back.
To fantasy book for a minute here… I think If done right they could have somebody mysteriously wiping out Judgment Day members with R-Truth always popping up to needle Priest until Truth finally attacks Priest, ultimately Truth would probably lose, but it’d help him show he’s more than comedic timing.
I do hope he gets a real shot again before he retires, but at this point I think it’s not gonna happen outside of returning to TNA or giving AEW a go and hoping TK doesn’t make him go comedy.
