Heel turn of John Cena has hurt R-Truth
R-Truth still can not believe it happened and finds it hard to talk about. On Insight with Chris Van Vliet, he shared:
“Why y’all asking me that? Y’all noticed I haven’t spoke on that at all, right? And I don’t want to speak on it right now. I’m hurt to the beyond hurtstivity, that is a word, saying it’s way up there in the heart somewhere, there’s no need to talk about it.”
R-Truth says old messages of John Cena meant a lot to him, like “never give up” and helping others.
“I’m feeling what all of y’all are thinking: hustle, loyalty, respect, never give up. The Make a Wish stuff, all that stuff is just going with me. I won’t even think about it, talk about it, Little Jimmy, I have to deal with that.”
He added, “I believe in my childhood hero. I don’t know, man, he done does. There’s 2 sides to every story.”
Will R-Truth be able to face John Cena in a match?
Many fans want to see R-Truth vs. John Cena. But R-Truth says it is not easy. He says he is a different person now, and it would take a big change to make that match happen.
“Y’all want to see that? But the only way we can see that though, it’s got to be the right way. The old me, I’m not a bad guy, I’m a good guy now, if you haven’t noticed that. I’m a good guy. I kiss the babies, I hug people, I don’t kick people in the nomads. So for that to happen, it would have to be a complete turnaround.”
R-Truth also shared about the moment Cena hit Cody Rhodes with a low blow. He’s still unsure about it.
“We don’t know that for sure! It looked like it went there, but we don’t know that. [It could have been] to part of the inner thigh.”
R-Truth shares his past experiences
R-Truth also shared how he got into wrestling. His past was not easy, but he made a big change in his life.
“My moment was just getting into business. For all y’all that know that watch a documentary with me coming up from the streets, selling drugs, doing this and doing that, and my perception, I wanted to be this big rap star. I want to be known as the biggest rap star, I lived by that, that was the only thing I was going to do. I wasn’t doing nothing else.”
“You can spin wheels, spin wheels, spin wheels. You ain’t paying the bills, things just ain’t happening. So me grabbing the moment was me going a different route to get to where I wanted to. When I met Jack Crockett in the halfway house and he presented professional wrestling to me, I was aware of wrestling. I’ve seen it on TV, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, I’ve seen that, but it still was new to me. So I grabbed that moment to like, you know what? This ain’t working for me. I got to try this right here out. And I just seized that.”
