R Truth reveals why he came back to the WWE

Quote :

"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. 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," R-Truth told SLAM!. "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."

That's maybe because I'm tired but I still don't know why he came back to WWE.

That...and he needed money to feed himself.

Because the WWE is the premiere place for pro wrestlers. He said this by saying "stomp with the big dogs."

But "Vince McMahon your ratings suck" and "John Cena smells like doo doo". Why would he come back?

The ratings are OK, Raw is still the most watched show on cable and SD is the most watched show on MyNetwork. MyNetwork has virtually nothing else.

They actually have nothing else. Smackdown is the only original program they have on the channel. The rest is basically reruns of syndicated TV shows.

That gives SD a huge edge in being the number 1 show and even if ratings turn bad for SD, it will still be the most watched show.

Yeah, but what's good being the #1 show on a network that can barely survive? Honestly, I don't know how long they can have SD being shown on MyNetwork TV because it's probably a matter of time before they pull the plug on the network.

I'm wonderin' if USA would be willing to open a time slot to WWE for Smackdown on Friday nights. I think that Smackdown could have similar ratings to RAW if that was the case.

Well, USA feature a couple of their highly rated orginal shows on Friday nights. Right now it is Pyhsce and Monk and in Oct. they will be having a new show in Monks time slot. Maybe NBC could find them a place on another network, USA would move some stuff around, or they could go back to The CW. Maybe they would change their minds, since they don't get good ratings on their teeny shows. Gossip Girls was not even in the top 100 last year. Maybe NBC would put it on Friday night, on the broadcast TV network. I know that Mynetwork was in trouble, but SD should be on their for at least this TV season.

I never even knew R Truth was in WWE before..

It was sometime in the year 2000. He and Road Dogg were a tag team rap gimmick. He was called KQwik, but it didn't last long or do well.

Was it K-Qwik or K-Kwik? Cuz I always remembered him for KKK...

Either way, it did not last long and it was dumb. I still remember their entrance theme though. Gettin Rowdy.

It was K-Kwik
