R-Truth Bursts Into Tears Talking Relationship With WWE Legend

R-Truth has a long, close relationship with Road Dogg that goes back to the late 1990s.

Road Dogg is the person who got R-Truth his first WWE contract as K-Kwik in 1999. After seeing Truth wrestle in Memphis and hearing him rap, Dogg told him not to quit wrestling and promised to bring him up to WWE TV, eventually making him his tag team partner in the Attitude Era.​​

They teamed as K-Kwik and “Road Dogg” Jesse James on late-’90s Raw, forming a short-lived but memorable rap-style duo in the Attitude Era. Even after Truth left WWE in 2001, their bond stayed strong.
