R-Truth celebrates his 50th birthday today. Do You know when did R-Truth make his debut in WWE?
R-Truth just turned 50 recently. So on the occasion of his big birth anniversary, let us look at the outstanding WWE career of R-Truth.
Ronnie Aaron Killings made his debut in 1997 under the ring-name Ron Killingsfor the Pro Wrestling Federation. He worked in the independent circuit for two years before signing a developmental deal with WWE in 1999 and began wrestling under the ring name, K-Kwik.
As K-Kwik, he was called up to the main roster in 2000 and teamed with Road Dogg before the latter’s release in early 2001. However, he found very little success in the hardcore division, resulting in his release in early 2002.
Killings joined TNA, originally under K-Krush before deciding to go under his real name, Ron Killings. He immediately found success in the promotion, defeating Ken Shamrock on August 7, 2002, to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. To date, he remains the only African American in history to win the NWA World Heavyweight Title and the first-ever black champion in TNA history.
