R-Truth wanted to have a good life after he had seen the dark period for a long time. Eventually, this opportunity was given to him by the legendary promoter Jack Crockett. R-Truth saw his first-ever wrestling match at WCW when Crockett took him and told him how he can become a wrestler.

Truth explained the experience, “I never been to a wrestling show in my life, but I was aware of it …….. Ric Flair’s music hits. He comes. Oh, sh*t 15,000 thousand people go crazy…. He’s like, ‘See that can be you right there. All that rapping and dancing you were doing in there, you could come down rapping your own music that you wanna do. Get in the ring, and you can fight, and mix all your moves together.”
