R-Truth on WWE: “I am like a kid in a candy shop”

News

SLAM! Wrestling has posted a great interview with Ron “R-Truth” Killings, two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion and current Smackdown superstar. In it he talks about being an African American world champ, lessons he’s learned since his initial WWE run as K-Kwik and how much fun he’s having now, interacting with the crowd, etc., back “home” in WWE.

“It was time for me to come back home. I was ready to excel, I felt that I had grown up, matured and am a grown man now, I was the truth,” says Killings. “I was ready to take my craft to a higher level. I weighed my options over there, I was accepted back home and I am here to stomp with the big dogs and I am loving it, I am like a kid in a candy shop. It is different coming back. When I was K-Kwik I was a younger guy, and had no idea of the things I had to do until now in part of knowing the business and being part of it. That includes ring work, locker room work, being on the road, in the public’s eye, just knowing the business. I have learned a lot and love the opportunities being back at WWE. I am looking at things in a whole different perspective in being a grown man now.”
