@Chris Van Vliet
I would by a Lil Jimmy action figure 😏
I like R Truth, but I wish WWE would stop having him be stupid. We all know Ron isn't stupid.
I love It when R truth On Raw Talk 2020😂😂😂
Tozawa and R-Truth had some funny segments they have good chemistry
Tanga loa just deleted out of the storyline 😂
WWE has an army of R Truth clones they swap the current one out every year
If we don't get an R-Truth and John Cena tag team championship run in 2025 it'll be a crying shame
GIVE US A LIL' JIMMY BOX WWE!!!!
Wish this was longer of an interview , was so good
“Feces”
Holy crap this man is my brother from another mother! I do the same things, the improv, the analyzing! I love this dude since K Kwik days!
The amount of times R-Truth emphasized "ALL-IN" makes me think it's an AEW hint
42:55 that's not PG
🙏 I LOVE YOU SOLO
R-Truth could be the best commentator
R-Truth a future HOF
That Dave Chappelle voice😂 23:31
I would so support killings for a main title shot then any young wwe or retire/veteran talent right now.!
Before he retires should be a heel champion than maybe as turn face before losing the title.
Heel title run than loses it with Jimmy seeing the light and get a face title run.!
3LC I hope he ask about those crazy ass trailer park skits with him road dog and conan
Who here from the Kickin it with Ross reaction video?
Finally
R – Truth needs to protected at all costs. HHH if you read this please make R – Truth the WWE Champ or World Heavyweight Champ.
To be real, I would love to see Truth as heel. Like bring a little of that TNA Truth heel.
I can't believe you got my favorite actor Terry Crews talkn wrestling with you 🤙
best comedic character of all time
